My budget is $1500
I have some knowledge and experience with producing music in Ableton and it will be the program Im using.
I am only looking into getting just these two items for now. This way, I get quality equipment that will fit my current budget and it will give me time to practice my production skills. Later, when I can save more money, I plan on getting the rest of the equipment that I need such as: Midi controller, soundcard/interface, external HD, etc..
What kind of laptop?
Edit: So after plenty of research, Ive decided to go with Mac (Sorry PC users) it just appeals to me more, personally. So what would fit my budget and needs? Should I spend the extra cash and get a new MBP like the 13? Or should I look into getting a refurbished older MBP like the 15 or 17? I plan holding on to this laptop for quite sometime, so I want to be sure of my decision.
What kind of headset?
Im also gonna need a high quality headset to produce/mix with, along with with my laptop purchase. Yes I know headsets aren’t optimal for mixing. But I JUST want to get started and be able to practice.
Im not in a stable living situation so I cant really look into getting monitors just yet. Nor do I think its really in my budget right now.
(*Idk if it matters, but the genre of music that im producing is Electro/Trance/Club/House.. You get the idea lol.)
Note: I already have Ableton, vst's, and drum kits covered.
So what's your guys' opinion!? Advice, tips, suggestions, and recommendations are all greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your time!
