I'd like to use a keyboard like you guys have told me to...However, How large is the price?
haha
I used to use AcidPro...not really a lot of experience with beats though. |
Dunno bout acid pro but one feature I'd say you need for sure is the ability to use Vsts. Theirs tons of free ones out their and even better ones if you bootleg.
My set up is Ableton Live and I use Native Instruments Battery to do my drums and my samples. Just chop em up in ableton send em to battery and I can just lay them out across my pads/keys. You can probably find a midi keyboard for cheap on ebay. Look at akai/roland/m-audio/korg/behringer/etc. and you'll find something for under a 100 probably.
P.S. If I were you I'd wouldn't listen to Raff and just do the opposite of what he told you to do, either that or you could torrent
P.S.S. I almost forgot whatever you choose read all the tutorials. It's boring as hell sometimes but it will make you so many leagues better than if you decide to just wing it.
