I need help deciding.

Take this as a bragging/attention thread, whatever, it's really not, I legitimately can't pick.

But what happened is, my Step Dad's Mom died back in September. And she was rich, like really rich. Owned 2 houses that both valued over $1,000,000. Now, she had 4 kids, so the inheritance money was split 4 ways, but nonetheless, we're really well off financially now. And, my Step Dad was a boss and said he'll get me some Music equipment I've been wanting as a gift, and gave me a $1,500 limit. He said if I go a bit over ($1,600-$1,800.), that that's fine as well.

(inb4 spoiled, 'cause this is literally the first time something like this has happened.)

Anyways, these are my options, and I can't decide.

Blue Bottle Rocket Stage Two Condenser Microphone - $1,600.

Blue Bottle Rocket Stage One Condenser Microphone (Cheaper and lower quality version of the Stage Two.) - $800 + Blue ROBBIE Microphone Preamp - $800.

OR:

Blue ROBBIE Microphone Preamp - $800 + AKAI MPK88 MIDI Controller Keyboard - $800.

    Choose adoption, abortion is never the answer.

    well, what do you think will be more beneficial in the long run?
    scratch the first thing because why get one thing when you can get 2 for the same amount

    We've fought before, yes. We're generally good though. He cares more than my actual Dad.

    No way am I saying on here. I go on 4 of them, and one of them being found out was already too much. I don't need you nigguhs harassing me all over the internet.

    Mind PMing them to me perhaps? We're hosting a big one now and looking into others. I don't give a damn where you post or what you say there, just business.

    Also, I'd go for the package with a keyboard. I loved having a keyboard, still have one in my room and randomly play it. I'd say its the most bang for your buck. my 0.2c

    This isn't like that doe. It's a MIDI Controller, meaning it can only be used when plugged into the computer on a recording software or DAW, like Reason, Cubase, Pro Tools, Etc. It'd be strictly for making beats.

    Gotcha. Guess I have no opinion then, unless you could still just free play it though the computer...

    Get the mic

    The first
  • ...... Posts: 31,548 master of ceremonies
    Get the most expensive one because it's easier to come up with $800 in the future rather than $1600

    what do you have already?

    if you already have a decent preamp or condensor then get the midi board. If not, get the mics first.

    That's the thing, I have a Condenser Mic and an Audio Interface, which has 8 preamps in it, as WELL as a MIDI Controller, which is actually the baby brother of the one I posted, it's the AKAI MPKMini, and it was $100.

    My Mic however, isn't the best, it was $100, and I do like the quality, but it's far from professional. Same with my interface, love it, and the preamps in it are nice, but this ROBBIE would destroy all eight of them. It's one preamp and $400 more than what I paid for a full interface with 8 preamps. This preamp would be running through my interface.

    Cubase 5 to record, Reason 5 to make beats. And yea, both are easy. To me, at least.
