just read this interview with skrillex
http://www.beatportal.com/feed/item/...cing-skrillex/
he did Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites album with just the trackpad of a macbook and ableton live and one speaker
thats pretty impressive,and just goes to show you dont need £1000's worth of gear to make something great.

+1 for gear not making the artist.

Preference. I have a USB mouse sitting next to my Macbook right now. I have it plugged in just so I don't try to use it and wonder why nothing's happening, but it doesn't come up that often. Originally Posted by Travis

Not too sure how much I like his music but the fact that he can make it with just that is impressive.
Trackpads ftw! Couple years ago I beat COD4 on Veteran using only my trackpad >_>Traktor Pro, VCM 600, Custom Midi Fighter, Presonus Firebox, Ultrasone DJ1 Pro

+1 considering the guy has been a professional musician since he was 16. Pretty sure if I was getting decent money from music I'd be throwing it all back at machines/pads/screens/speakers/etc etc

Equipment can be a distraction and a liability.

quite impressive.
I may have to make my next album like that
Oh and a blown speaker doesn't mean one speaker, blown speakers still put out sound... albeit crappy sound, but enough to get a stereo image.
