I NEED TO UPGRADE!

[The Phantom Banger]

Basically ive been running a shit setup for the past year. Got an oxygen 8 v2 with about 5 broken keys, a laptop that cant run more than 10 synths at once and is almost always glitching out due to extreme latency. Got some shit headphones, and also a shite 2 channel mixer for my decks that doesnt have a working crossfader. Im looking to upgrade all of these things pretty soon!

If anyone could help with suggestions and stuff it would be really nice, im running a reall low budget but i dont mind saving for ages cause i dont want to have to go with shit anymore So im basically looking for, a 4 channel mixer, a nice midi keyboard, a new laptop that has alot of ram or something and some studio monitors.

Thanks

E-bay would be your best bet for things like MIDI controllers and the like. Should be able to pick up a decent 48 key for something like £15 if you look around.

Something like an M-audio keyrig 49 would be a good bet for a cheap middle of the road keyboard.

Cheap decent monitors..... try the Alesis M1's

Why the need for a laptop? With a desktop you get a lot more for your money. Dell are a good choice for budget machiness. Get one with 4gb Ram minimum and a quad core processor.

Or just keep that laptop and resample all day xD

Dell does have some interesting deals. But everyone i know that owned a dell had it crap on them in 4- 6 months so they had to send it out for service.

It depends on your situation. I couldnt deal with a desktop because I like backpacking it to different spots for inspiration.
