Should I Get a Turntable or a Keyboard

[thaprecepta]

Hey whts up. I'm gonna be spendin 200 dollars on music this month and i was debating on which one to get - a keyboard or a turntable. I have reason and recycle so getting a keyboard would be nice so I could play keys. However I'm infatuated with beat digging and can't get enough of those youtube videos and am pretty much set on getting a turntable instead. Which would you choose (i'm using bome's mouse keyboard to emulate a keyboard using my pc's keyboard). Thanks

k sweet and i figured out i can get the keyboard and an mpd for 200 so after a lil more input im gonna make my decision .. thanks for the advice dreampolice

 

[thedreampolice]

man I love my MPD! Good call.

police is right keys then turntable, thats if you want to make your own music instead of listenin to someone elses

 

[woohff]

Keys first and then turntable. If you just sample, you'll only need some cheap ass turntable to get started tho. Cheap midikeyboard + cheap used turntable would do it if you're a starter and not sure if you have the ambition for making beats.

like mr. no reason famously said..."u gotta touch them keys" the turntable can wait, especialy if u got reason.

Umm... what are you going to do, soundwise, with just two MIDI controllers and nothing to control with them?

 

[Sanova]

he's gonna have to cop a MIDI->USB device. I fucks wit the m audio midisport uno

but like he said he has reason and recycle, u pretty much NEED a keyboard to use reason effectively

 

[thaprecepta]

[thedreampolice]
