But I'd rather walk the plank than try to beat match on a poop deck. I've decided to get into making music, not serious, just amateur musings. But I've got some money to burn on it. Or the Digi 001 with Sample Cell II Plus, and a simpler Korg synth like the N1, MS2000, or Trinity if I can scrape up some more cash. Most people have recommended the latter course, but have little experience.
Workstations are for land-lubbers and tavern wenches.
Ye be gettin' a whole load of stupid sounds that not even my one-eyed grandmother God rest her soul would be caught dead playin'. If ye be wantin' a Digi 001, I'm guessin' ye've already got a good computer. Get yerself the MS2000 and some sequencin' software like Cubase. I'm in the market for a portable DAT deck to record concerts and such, mostly of bands that allow taping, so stealth isn't a problem. Unless ye be wantin' to go into professional audio recordin', DATs are about as useful as a main sail with a hole in it.
