Is anyone else into this? I just started getting into it about a week ago. I used to play around with Logic and other DAWs back in the day, but it was really confusing to me.

The other day I picked up a Native Instruments Maschine on an impulse buy, and I love it. It makes so much more sense to me than sequencers and DAWs.

Next I'm looking to pick up an Akai sampler / drum machine, like an MPC 2500 and an 88 key MIDI controller for the Maschine.

I'm mostly interested in avant garde / ambient / trip hop stuff, sort of like Amon Tobin. Or RZA-esque hip hop. But what I find is I start working on one thing and I end up in some totally different place.

Anyway, is anyone else here into producing?

i used to be up on all this equipment stuff. i fell off years back .
sp-12 and MP5000 sounds great to me.
call me old school but im still a fan of the 808 just for fun
ive never met the RZA but i have met and chilled with a lot of great hip hop producers and they all have basically the same setup

The Maschine has really good 808, 808X and SP1200 sounds.

BTW RZA announced this week that he and GZA are making Liquid Swords 2.
