    Hi lads,

    I'm badly needing a new hobby of late and I reckon DJing could very well be it. I've been a serious Hardhouse/techno/trance fan for years but have never followed it up in a more personal sense. So I armed with a few extra bob of late and am wondering what I need to spin, compose and write music.

    I've used reason (demo without timelimit) for a few weeks now and am pretty well up in it. I hear reason 2 is out now/soon would it be worth it??? I also plan on getting a set of decks - anything less than 800 euros or would i best of to wait for the new cd Laser to come down in price as they are well ****ing expensive?

    I'm not massively interested in becoming a club DJ but more interested in writing/composing tunes. Can anyone direct to the whereabouts of a synth better than roland? Have a class athlon 1800 with cd burner also. So power is no problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    Start looking here - www.harmony-central.com/Synth/Data/
    and you'll find something, also if you join Harmony Centrals boards you can post on the Keys and Synths
    section, the ppl thier know everything there is to know about
    which module or keyboard you should go for.

    Mike.

    You would be better off getting a Midi Contoller keyboard and Software synths for a Sequencer package from the sounds of it.

    There was a post here a few months back with various recommendations, do a search here for Sonar/Cubase etc. and ya should find some useful info.
