Hello.
I started working with FL studio last year and i really like it... i produce mainly trance-house-like music..
now i'm thinking about buying a masterkeyboard.. it should be .. well maximum 300 €.. a bit cheaper would be better since i'm no pro^^.. i think about m-audio axiom 49, m-audio oxygen 49 or maybe EVOLUTION MK449 C.. i dont know oO''

and another question..
when i do complex melodies and want to play them, my cpu usage goes up to maximum and my pc is getting slow, and i cant listen to the song propably.. this sometimes even happens with simple songs with low polyphony.. i got 2 gig RAM, but only onboard-sound..
now do i need a better sound card or just more RAM?? :-/

i hope you can help me

If all you want to do is play some notes just get the cheapest one you can find! Otherwise it's a case of researching the features to find out what's the most suited that you can afford.

Sounds like you may need a faster cpu. Differents instrument will use different amounts of cpu, try bouncing tracks down to audio to free up some more horsepower.
