Discuss the various methods you use in music production, from compressor settings to equipment type.

My setup is a Gemini XL-500II turntable with a Shure M447, a Numark BlueDog mixer, an Akai MPC2000, an HP pavillion Computer, a whole lotta records, and Goldwave as a music editor. I may just be being stupid, but most folks have lots more gear than this maybe a compressor over here, a multitrack over there, some rack samplers and etc. My setup is much more simpler, but I am making top notch beats. Do you think it is possible if I added some more equipment my beats would be even better??

Your beats are only as good as you are. Gear is just for how you like to work.
