    Hey lads,
    Anyone have any ideas on a good synthesiser for home recording for 2k?

    I'm starting home recording now I have my music degree and a decent paying job (yay) and want a decent one for recording music, one like the one Jordan Rudess in Dream Theater plays. Anybody have any ideas of where is cheap to buy them or any ideas which ones to get?

    EDIT: Sorry, while I'm on the subject, I want to spend about 4k overall on a recording package - I'll be recording guitar and vocals and using the keyboard for some experimental music and contemporary music. I will have a really decent PC in a few weeks, so don't need to worry about that, but does anyone have any ideas what I could get for that music for a synthesiser, soundcard, a few mics, and a mixer if possible?

    If anyone could make a quick shopping list for me to start me off on what to be looking for it would be a great help. In college, all the stuff was there, so didnt need to know what the hell it was we were using lol

    You could consider investing your money in a top of the range MIDI controller keyboard and lots of high quality software synths. You would get a lot of bang for your buck that way and would not be tied to using a single hardware synth.
