Everyone,
Midi this, monitor that, blah blah blah. I use Acid 4 and a cheap laptop. I have good headphones. I have 1200's too which I sample from, plus old video game systems and a vcr and dvd / cd player to sample from. That's it. I pump out great tech-acid house type stuff with that. Don't be fooled into thinking you need all this stuff. I'm not quite sure what midi is or why I would need it. If you want to produce tracks that a dj would want to mix into a set at a rave, you don't need midi. I'm sure of it! This music is meant to be produced this way guys. Don't scare people away thinking they have to spend a fortune.
