Didn't think of that!!!

I actually think I am nearly there!!!! Heres what I have got: I already had: Vocal and guitar effects unit Basic Mixing Desk I have bought: Cubase LE - Will get a better Cuebase once I have got the hang of using everything!!! Presonus Firebox Firewire audio interface Behringer Studio Condenser Mic Behringer Headphones Monitors VERY Basic Yamaha keyboard - will start by recording straight into Cuebase and when I can afford it, get a better keyboard to use for sequencing!!! Drum Machine Boss Sampler and that's prity much it!!!!! I think I have got everything I need for a basic starter studio! If anybody can think of anything else I would need, not something I would want, please let me know!!!!

Anyone else wanna comment on the keyboard? Does anyone know if I can use it for sequencing?

I'll try again!!! Does this link work? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CASIO-Full-Sized-Key...1QQcmdZViewItem What are VST instruments?

HOW ABOUT THE FOLLOWING FOR A HALF DECENT KEYBOARD FOR MY PC STUDIO? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CASIO-Full-Sized-Key...1QQcmdZViewItem Could I use to sequence? Also, is this desent enough drum machine? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ZOOM-MRT-3-MICRO-RHY...1QQcmdZViewItem Cheers guys, you are being a great help!

Apparently so!!!!!! I do have one more question. If I was buy the following keyboard, http://www.evolution.co.uk/products/evo_mk461c.htm where would I get the sounds from?

PLEASANT! What is the "other stuff" you refer too?

ANY SUGGESTIONS ON A DECNET KEYBOARD FOR NO MORE THAN 200 QUID?

Here's where I am at the moment. I have ordered a brand new computer with the follwing spec: Processor Type Intel Pentium IV 3.0GHz CPU Prescott 800MHZ FSB Motherboard Award Winning ECS 661GX/800-M7 i661GX Skt 775 Hard Disk 160 GB IDE 8MB lead free Cache RAM Memory 1024MB DDR400 PC3200 RAM Optical Drive 16x Dual Layer DVD +/- R/RW Drive I have also ordered a Presonus Firebox Firewire audio interface with Cuebase LE and also a pair of studio monitors. What I am having trouble with now is getting a keyboard. I have 200pounds and don't know what to get. If I was to get something like this m-audio website + specs, where abouts would I get my sounds for different instruments? Or does it actually have them? Would I also need to get a drum machine? Or would I be best getting the following: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CASIO-Full-Sized-Key...1QQcmdZViewItem Could I use any of the above keyboards to sequence in cuebase? Sorry for all the questions, i'm still learning!!!

How many sounds does the keyboard come with?

WHAT ABOUT THIS? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Would I need to buy a sound card? If so, any suggestions?

Is it best to buy a keyboard with all the sounds, or, like above, one that just send midi signals? If it is the later, where do all the different sounds for the instruments come from?

Would the following interface be any good or should I spend a bit more and get a digi 001? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tascam-US-122-USB-Au...1QQcmdZViewItem Would I need to buy a sound card as well as the above?

Ok. I've taken everything everyone, especially Prometheus, intoi account and I think this is the best way forward for me. I'm going to start with a basic set-up, computer, cuebase and keyboard. Is there naything else I will need to get started? Is the following a good enough computer to run Cuebase? I realise I will probably have to buy a new sound card!!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/P4-3-0-PRESCOTT-1MB-...1QQcmdZViewItem
