yea i gotta say, not only is it a renewed love of synths but the flood gates to my creativity have been opened too.....and with what 23 said thats kinda the case with me but more with instruments....i switch from playing nothing but guitar to nothing but bass often, well of course now u have to add ...

So i finally got 2 synths ( a microkorg and an SH-201, a beginners rig no doubt :lol:, now maybe ill stop posting only in the buyers guide! ) and i gotta say now that im actually playing and discovering what synths can do ive fallen in love all over again......started on bass, ive since taken up gui...

uh...ok...

Originally i was looking at an SH-201 to compliment my portable grand piano (obviously you cant do much in the way of synths with those).....They look easy to use and ive played them a couple times and love em....but im also lookin at a microkorg to add as well and i was just wondering, are these tw...

i think it might be, but then again i dunno when u hit puberty lol...try just runnin through scales in different keys and maybe sit down at a piano and sing along with scales too and try and match the tones...i dunno if thats more warm up related tho, but it helps me...

haha alright i will, thanks again

Alot of people's voices are annoying, and not just there singing ones....Since you've had a teacher in the past then your voice should be pretty good, but i mean i dont know all the much about singing, i just know what i like, and well sometimes short comings in peoples voices can give them that sig...

wow crystal, thanks for the links...really sold me on the RS7k

Why not some private vocal classes? I tend to find teachers more helpful then books, but thats just me....

Well I've narrowed it between the RS7000 and the MC-808, now i just gotta try them both out to see how i like them...Thanks for all the help

How user friendly is the RS7000?

Thanks for all the help...the more i read the more huppo makes the best sense...and thanks to everyone who gave a link....Ill probably end up just doing what huppo said and find some used gear...Thanks again

I could see myself getting over the issue of the pads for either the roland or the RS, im really not to picky when it comes to that (mostly because this will be my first production/groove center)....also, PC editing wouldnt be a problem for me....but what was it about the RS sounds that you liked so...

Could i install my friend's soft synth on my CPU if i do that? or can they only install on one CPU? (i know that windows XP allows 3 installations per disc) And if i cant then id have to buy a soft synth, and thatd raise the price...And where are you getting $900? Summa says itd be about 450 euros.....

I've done research on alot of production centers and groove boxes and i've narrowed it down to a few.... Roland MC-808 (motorized faders must be a plus for sure) OR MC-909 (dual D-beams are very appealing :D, but I've read it has alot of bug issues ) Yamaha RS7000 (cheapest of them all, but I'm a li...
