So here is where I spend some of my free time. Its fairly simple and PC based although i can plug most of this into my Macbook. I am still learning the best workflow but it helps that i know reason inside out as a sound module and flow that into ableton with its flexibility.

  1. Sofware: Ableton, Reason, Sample Moog
  2. Controllers: Akai MPD 26, Evolution UC-33e, Launchapd
  3. Hardware: Saffire Six Sound Card, Studio Phile BX8 Monitors
  4. Wants: Livid RGB, Monome Block, KRK monitors
  5. Worst Studio moves: getting rid of mk5 1200's becuase i needed $$$$

So the Misses and I spent a fair amount of coin remodeling our home. I didnt want my "studio" to be an eyesore any longer. I decided to utilize a built in wall unit for my studio and I really like the results. I will need a desk at some point but that will be an add on soon enough.

I have two computers. The mac is a powerbook 2006 intel core duo 1.8ghz with 2 gigs of ram and it serves me fine.

Well that's a huge question and slightly off-topic, it would have been better to create a new thread.
What I would recommend is a quad-core Intel i7 (at least 2,2Ghz), 8GB Ram and if affordable a SSD drive as it speeds up the system a lot. The graphic card doesn't matter that much. At the moment, I travel a lot so that I often have to produce with my notebook which is Intel i5 2,3Ghz (up to 2,9GHz with Turbo Boost), 4GB Ram and 512 GB HDD. That's ok, but if investing in something new I would recommend a slightly more powerful machine if affordable.

Have not read up on the monome too much, but if i'm not mistaken theres a lot of awesome community made applications that allows you to use it as a great sequencer or anything you might desire really. Heres a link that might explain it http://post.monome.org/comments.php?...&page=1#Item_0

Alright
What's the monome's advantage over a launchpad? Its good looks or is there some more hidden power?

Oh no Gentlemen, no confusion. I do love me some livid but I am talking about Monome: http://monome.org/devices

Sounds like he's mixed up Livid Block and Monome ... (64,128,256).

But why not to take another launchpad? It's much cheaper...

I almost put "access virus" on my synth wants but hardware will come much much later once i master a software environment.

Ever considered getting yourself a hardware analog synth?
I've been looking at a few recently and its way too tempting
