So here is where I spend some of my free time. Its fairly simple and PC based although i can plug most of this into my Macbook. I am still learning the best workflow but it helps that i know reason inside out as a sound module and flow that into ableton with its flexibility.
Have not read up on the monome too much, but if i’m not mistaken theres a lot of awesome community made applications that allows you to use it as a great sequencer or anything you might desire really. Heres a link that might explain it http://post.monome.org/comments.php?DiscussionID=3065&page=1#Item_0
Well that’s a huge question and slightly off-topic, it would have been better to create a new thread.
What I would recommend is a quad-core Intel i7 (at least 2,2Ghz), 8GB Ram and if affordable a SSD drive as it speeds up the system a lot. The graphic card doesn’t matter that much. At the moment, I travel a lot so that I often have to produce with my notebook which is Intel i5 2,3Ghz (up to 2,9GHz with Turbo Boost), 4GB Ram and 512 GB HDD. That’s ok, but if investing in something new I would recommend a slightly more powerful machine if affordable.
So the Misses and I spent a fair amount of coin remodeling our home. I didnt want my “studio” to be an eyesore any longer. I decided to utilize a built in wall unit for my studio and I really like the results. I will need a desk at some point but that will be an add on soon enough.
