Imagine being able to steal 15 synths in one night? It would take all week for you to learn how to use them all.

@DB I assumed he had a pc and he asked for some 'hardware' suggestions. All this stuff about pro-results is pointless if you dont even know how to rock a little box that costs 200 quid. I use a computer for production too but everything musical I do comes from a box\ is recorded in and then touched up. I can pretty much sequence a song in the time it takes to play it this way. Sounds more musical too rather than relying on 50 different types of compression/eq automation etc etc to dig you out of the click and drag hole

I dont care if people use software, infact its essential but I get mad when people say that you dont need hardware at all. Its like someone who wants to get into graphic design being told not to go near a set of paints\crayons or something because they wont get pro-results. Its the start of the creative process.

Anyway a drum machine straight through your speakers sounds way more pro than any piece of software routed through a shite soundcard and then through your speakers.
