Gary,
BIG thanks for your post!
How much more dough am I looking at for a software synth?
I'm an absolute beginner on this stuff. I have BIAB 2006 right now and I just want something simple and cheap to learn on. If I get the hang of it and really in the groove, I can upgrade later. I am looking for an entry-level way of composing/sequencing music with BIAB. I'd like to learn how to program drum parts and all the rest. I can't afford Pro Tools or any of that other fancy stuff at the moment...
Would the M-Audio Oxygen 49 - USB MIDI Controller suit my purpose for the time being? That's only $99 on Amazon.
Thanks again for all your help!
Greg
