1. I would suggest that you go with software, you can still use the sp-606 and you will get so much more for your money. FLStudio 7 is a very good starter program, there are better programs out there but as far as bang for the buck, FLStudio 7 is hard to beat. Another perk for FLStudio 7 is that once you buy it, you get free upgrades for life so when FLS 8 comes out, you get it free.

2. Before you think of buyimg a turntable, ask yourself "where will you be getting the majority of your samples from?" If it's vinyl, then get a t-table, if it's from cd's then look into purchasing a scratchable cd deck like a cdj-800 or something related. If you will be getting your samples from music downloads, you don't really need either but I suggest you get one or the other.

There are a ton of options that you will face, but the above will give you a very good start and get you rolling in the right direction.

good luck and welcome to the ILL,

[dacalion]

yeah, its a good program, and as you can see you have plenty of tutorials for it...FLStudio.com has about 30 tutorials also that will assist you after you get the program. ILLMUZIK has a section on FLStudio too. You'll find a lot of hellp there.

All good tho! its what ever you feel comfortable with and those were good points Dac makes
Im just reppin for the hardware guys!
MPC2500!! Woo woo!

Now Relic, there is NOBODY in here more pro-hardware than me but he's 17 and on a budget. Software is just a good start. Can you imagine how much money it would cost to build a system like the rack in Reason? LMAO!

Hell my TV has 8 seperate components on it (not including 7 speakers)

No I agree with you, if nothing else you can get it cracked so its a good starter!

But the best thing to do is actually kick out for the stuff, that way you got it no sweat!
Same thing with hardware, either you borrow your buddies or you buy your own..
