Why not just save that 500$ bucks you got, save another 500$ and get a 1000? Or if you really have patience and can execise some self-control save another 1500$ and get the 2500?

but hardly anyone will sell there mp for that much.. espesially a 1000.. maybe a 500 might be sold for 500 one day cuz they might say its cheap.. but then again..

to be fair, ive seen a few go for 450(that arent buy it now) and above. but the general price is around 600. Which still isnt that much more if you wanna spend around 500.

Hmmm... $500 for computer, $200 for controller, $200-300 for Reason. Same as 500 or 1000....but in all fairness, you are better of with a computer and controller if you are strapped for cash.

exactly.. how ru gonna record your beats?.. i doubt u can afford a cd recorder/player or a stereo that can record sound onto tapes... interfases can cost up to 120$ for a average one.. yea ebay has them for cheap but u dont know how they used it...
