Everything Must Go!

i went on a selling spree on craigslist and ebay. mostly old computer electronics. but right when i started doing the studio experiment i think i went a bit overboard and bought too much stuff. so i offloaded the Alesis Micron. i was so excited to get that piece of equipment. but it just sat around. i definitely want to learn how to play the piano, but that wasn't the right object for it. and i don't really want to learn how to use a synthesizer, i can play with that kind of tweaking ITB with Reason or Live.

i did keep one external mixer in case i need more inputs for recording. but that may go at some point, too. i need to learn more about what i'll be doing and what equipment i'll need.

it seems that everyone of these studios is using Pro Tools still, something i thought was sort of going out of style, but not in a pro studio situation.

while doing some online research about Ableton Live i came across some excellent YouTube videos of people doing wild live shit combining turntables and the computer. i think that's a path i would like to pursue since that's one way i can still perform live. i'll be looking into serrato and other stuff like that. i want to be able to basically use my turntables as midi controllers.
