i ounce met a dj at my school dance who had the full hookup. he asked me what i used for my production. i told him honestly "FL Studio 5". he laughed until i asked him what was so funny. he got up and turned around his laptop and showed me his, he had garage band pro (or something like that) and a large amount of really high quality vsts that you know by looking that they werent cheep. he gave me a smirk and said "you you dont have the best of the best, your not ever gonna make anything worth a damn". i replied simply. "an instument is only as good as the person who plays it" VST or otherwise.

this is what i use for music production

1 - outdated FL Studio 5 XXL producer Edition (it was free so idc)
2 - various free VSTis
3 - cheap Sony headset
4 - no MiDi keyboard, i use reg cpu keyboard
5 - no soundboard
6 - no mixer
7 - and to top it all off, no cpu. thats right i dont even have my own cpu, i have to carry all my sofware around on a cheap 1 gig flash drive! you jave no idea how hard it is to produce under these conditions! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! :P

I know how you feel bro. I used to be like that, then I decided to download pirated versions of pretty much anything I could find. I had programs for well over 2000 bucks. However, I decided that being a software whore doesn't make me any better. If I can't do anything with them, they won't make me a better musician.

So I bought a Macbook, got the latest version of GarageBand, downloaded all the Jam Packs for it (guilty for this one) , and started making music with only those. I feel a lot better now, and everything seems to flow easily. I also have a medium-sized MIDI keyboard.

But my question is why don't you download pirated stuff? I know this is awful advice, but with only one to two VSTs (Colossus being a must-have), you can make AMAZING songs. Also, FL is pretty bad-ass, I used to use that before I went all Apple.

From what I hear from your songs, you're a lot better than me, so keep up the good work, and if you ever need anything don't hesitate to tell me.

Take care my friend!
