Ooh bad idea man student loans are a ****. You're gonna be paying those off while the people who worked every summer will be buying a new house and shit.

Right now I have an Imac G5 and been mess’n around with reason ever since I got it, and was thinking about that M-audio trigger finger to program in my drums into reason and run reason as slave under protools. Anybody heard anything on the m-audio or am I just wasting my time and should just get an mpc?
You can make music with either, an MPC is not necessary, but I messed with software for about a year and got bored and copped an MPC2000.

Records. Go to garage sales, thrift stores, swap meets, pawn shops, flea markets. This is called "digging". Get your self a nice used turntable, try to go for metal not plastic construction(a good brand is Pioneer), and also look for records while you're there, records are usually under $1 each at these places.

I dunno much about the Trinity, but I know prettymuch all of the Korg Triton sounds have been used before by hip hop producers, which will give your music a kind of 'dated' sound, but there are still cats out there flipping Triton sounds in new ways all the time, so its up to you. I have a Fantom, I haven't got to deep into learning it yet but I love the sounds it can make and theres lots of ways to load up sounds and tweak them. Peace
