I hear that, however it's hard to judge based on one's post on the forums not knowing what's going on in their private life...maybe it wasnt working out between the wife whatnot...and just cuz she didnt get caught dont mean she was an angel herself. not saying she was doing anything either, but you never know. however I'd hope he's gonna look out after the kid and take care of it like every dad should....otherwise it's pure coward move right there.

I used to have a homie, and he bragg how he bust in his girl shit was dripping down her legs. soon enough they had a kid...he ended up leaving her with the kid moving outta the state and hooking up with some 40yr old with 2 kids. I cut it off with him little before all that happen. but I dont ever wanna see that muffaka around cuz he might catch a few.

That what I was implying. I been with my lady a long time and we have our issues but neither one of us ever walked out. And we have been thru some MAJOR issues. I dont know the OP's life so I cant judge but I do know that my pops bounced before I turned 1. The irony is that he was a DJ so I know what it was like to have a pops care more about his gear than his kid. All Im saying is yea you gotta rebuild the home lab... but if the relationship is done the next priority should be the seed.

I'd go with a 4000 and a good turntable, probably SL1200, then load up your comp with soft synths or buy a moog

fux it, get all of em.Then leave em in a will to your kid, become famouse, and die of a cocaine overdose at a young age. They should make a movie about you after that. On the real tho, if my wife, girl, boo whatever ever decided to touch my MPC in an unfriendly way, best believe ide be part of the Sock-A-Ho Tribe.

First and foremost is my seed, my son gets taken care of without a doubt. I understand what I created and I'll die supporting him....

With that said...

Can't change a woman's mind, she did what she did, I did what I did, time to move on. And to keep my mind busy, I will rebuild.

I appreciate all the comments though...

This was the setup, I did add a pair of Rokit 5's.

So... the wife decided to end things, kept the house, kept the child, destroyed all the equipment.... yeah, I was a bad boy. Now I'm starting over and since I have a clean start... besides my MacBook Pro that I still have and my Axiom 25.... I was wondering what ideas anyone would go with. I was thinking maybe start with a 2500 instead of the 5k...

Ideas...?

That sucks, dude. Don't forget the child!?!?

I think the secret is in what you already have. The Mac Pro is some serious business for music making. I would get some software. FXpansions Guru or something like that. You have the controller, right? If having an MPC is a must, then I would have to say an MPC1000 with the proper pads & JJ. Don't forget about an MPD32 or something like that too.

Use the extra money you would save with an MPC2500 or 5000 and take the child out for a day with Dad?!?

Good luck brotha. Keep making beats!

First, if I were you, I would destroy the ex, then I'd get the 2500, and don't forget something like the Alphatrak control surface-if you're working with a laptop. Get a decent audio interface like the MOTU Ultralite 3 too, and don't forget decent monitors or least a good pair of headphones. Personally, for headphones I have these http://www.akg.com/site/products/powers ... ge,EN.html
and for monitors I have Mackie HR824 MK IIs, but seriously, the headphones are good enough to mix in. It takes a while for them to get worked in but when they do they sound amazing. On the real, if that sh*t happened to me, I'd be on the warpath no doubt. My pieces of gear are my drugs, my life. Take that away from me and you just committed suicide.

Perhaps you also might look into a security system for your spot so she won't **** up the new shit you buy. Just a thought. :lol:
