Producing equipment.
Hey guys so i am new to all this. I just bought ableton live 8, NI massive, novation launchpad, and a focusrite saffire pro 24. I will be using my macbook pro. I want to be making all kinds of EDM. Mostly Trap, Progressive House, dubstep, and some kind of electric music (like purity ring). Really anything people can womp to. I have about $600 now for any other equipment. I want something/stuff that will help A LOT with producing. but i really wanna RUN THE TRAP.
Thanks, Ben
Thanks, Ben

Re: Producing equipment.
monitors, the yamaha hs it's in your budget and sounds great
Re: Producing equipment.
Or get hi-end ultrasone studio headphones. Better choice than monitors in a non-treated room.
Re: Producing equipment.
I assume you have a sub already, and plenty of tracks to A/B compare. Sounds like those will be the most crucial elements.
Re: Producing equipment.
Agreed, sounds like you've got more than enough sound/MIDI stuff but unless you haven't mentioned it you'll want some decent speakers.freshdrumma wrote:monitors

Get monitors, maybe you want something big like KRK rokit 10's
Re: Producing equipment.
oh, and even a simple midi keyboard would be nice

I wrote an article about the normal (logical) progression of purchasing equipment for electronic music artists:
What Equipment Do I Need to Make Music in Live?
Granted, everyone makes music differently, so obviously get what makes sense for you!

Re: Producing equipment.
you already have everything you need to get started...you can't buy your way to understanding, or productivity though...
Re: Producing equipment.
^ yeah, +1 for monitors and then get to work. you don't need a lot of gear... you need a lot of practice.
