Final Decision: Studio H/P & MIDI Controller

[tekboi]

Thanks Jay..

Not enough money for monitors yet, working on it, I will look into those headphones.

As for the MIDI controller, I am looking to mainly use it for the knobs & faders, where I can control parameters within different VST instruments & effects etc.
If I am drawing most of my notes in my sequencer's editor, then I am assuming there is not much need of the keys? But then again, what are the bonus of having the keys with knobsx & faders? Thats a rough overview of what I am looking for but I would love recommendations on both, controller with keys & one without but both having enough knobs & faders for me, what you think?

Respect, thanks heaps :)

depends what you want in your sound - Imo key give tou a more human (played) feel as for me it is easier to play notes a bit out of time.

Personally i would buy a cheaper pc and use freeware plugs so I could buy a decent set of monitors and some basic room treatment. They are the most important part of the studio, they are the only part you hear.
