    This is why I think it’s an advantage to start with cheap hardware, you’re not blinded by technology so to speak and you can concentrate on each aspect of music making seperately. One cheap drum machine, one cheap analogue type synth and just learn what every button and knob does, after that everything else is pretty much the same. I actually read and learned about subtractive synthesis before I had any equipment, and that was a definate advantage.

    Cant say I could agree with that simply because if your new you will have learn either way anyway – I know software so found using a korg drum machine tricky

    and the software is literally based on the hardware , so theyre very similar with the software being more flexible/easily editable in my opinion

    I can see the advantage in sound quality but invest in a usb/midi controller and it is much easier to use software

    Cant justify the high cost of hardware to a non studio enviroment/ newbie
