An audio interface (NI Komplete Audio 6, perhaps) and studio monitors (Rokit 5, perhaps). I have kick ass Joseph reference monitors (RM7XL) with Adcom preamp and Adcom 5800 power amp, but those are currently my home stereo.

After that it's time to start getting some hardware synths. Minibrute, perhaps.

I have a very limited budget, so this is kind of the 1-2 year plan.

8" monitors. Working wth 5" and a woofer (all yamaha hs series). Not really seeing the woofer as useful right now. Wish I purchased two 8's instead of the woofer. Maybe m not using it correctly

If I could get *anything*.... it would be an IGS Audio ONE leveling amp/opto compressor. I just upgraded to an analog mixing board and I would love to put that compressor one one of my aux buses. I love the character of the plugin, but I've heard the hardware sounds even better.

Anyone want to donate to a good cause? LOL

Likewise. Kicking myself for saving a bit of money and getting one with only two inputs, but then how could I have known the hardware bug would bite me ;)

Just got a new Electribe that has killed a lot of my gear lust at the moment, but I've been eyeing a DSI Pro2 for awhile now.

@tarekith how do you like that ELECTRIBE? i played one recently at Control Voltage here in Portland. i didn't get a lot of time with it.
i'd love to hear a pro/ cons list. (in a PM if you don't want to do it here)

My friend in SF bought one, that thing sounds freaking amazing! IMO his so far best combination of old school tech and modern concepts. Seriously, literally everything you do on it sounds like butter. 8)

I'm looking at picking up a MPK88 or the new Arturia 88 key controller.
Would like something that makes playing piano libraries fun, and works with these orchestral libraries I picked up.

They have both at my local GC. The Arturia felt REALLY cheap and the akai is REALLY stiff. Not that I'm some genius at playing piano but frankly, midi controllers are still way behind the year.
