What more could you need? That is a seriously powerful set-up, especially when you think about how many banks are available around here for many of them. How stupid are we spending money?

I mainly agree BONES. This is almost my setup. However, judging by the mp3 demos I 'd love to have BFD for drums and Trilogy for bass but I can't afford them. Anyway , I am just hobbyist

ummmmm...RMX, reaktor, Live4...errrrr


but ya, it really is amazing the stuff available to us these days for free. That new Kjaerhus envelope filter is really something, as is SIR.

Tracktion isn't free anymore. Are there any other free host/sequencer programs?

Forever,

I personally could not survive without being able to record audio. But that is quite a functional setup you mentioned.

since when does Tracktion not record audio?

Krystal is a good multitrack audio recorder thats free http://www.kvraudio.com/get/866.html, unfortunaly no midi YET so no hosting of vst instruments but does host effects well.Version 2 is in the works with midi won't be released for a while yet though.
YOu might wnat to try delta sp ,
and cmuzy available with purchase of computer music mag is good,comes with a bunch of intruments and effects as well.

It still is, but hurry:

Ummm Bones you forgot to mention ONE THING and all the equipment in the world means jack shit without it ..........Freeaaakin' TALENT!!!!!

Sampler : HOPEkILLER ??????

Is that one of yours I missed ? And I didn't find it on the site

Yes, I know it does, but you have to have a microphone too, and you probably wont find a decent one and a preamp for free.

but... you can get a decent condenser mic for 60 bucks and one of thoes Behringer 1 channel mixers for even cheaper.

I agree and I disagree.

I agree that with free synths you can do amazing music. (synth 1, superwave, ugo synths, polyblit, shortcircuit free...)

and I agree that sometimes we are always tempted by the best commercial stuff and then we only use their presets, which is a bit limited and untalented.

BUT we cannot have this as a bible, I mean, there are commercial products which are really really very interesting and not able to have a free counterpart with the same quality. Why should we refuse to pay some money (not too much, for example Wusikstation costs less than 100 euros, reaktor not 300...) for amazing products anyway and combine them with the amazing free available products?

Not disagreeing with you, but that's an interesting collection of words...

Forever,




Kim.

That's one of the one's I was hoping you could host for us.

you answered your own question.
