would you guys consider the turntable as unavoidable cost when it comes to making beats therefore its already a given that a turntable will be part of the studio setup?

that way people can use that one space for something else like a mixer or midi controller.

Neve 5254, MPC Studio, iMac Pro.

many of these 3 piece setups beat the ass out of a TON of producers with access to whatever they want.

But you do need your brain and it seems like half of the people forget that most of the time...

Why has nobody mentioned speakers?

Anyway, if they're not counted then I'd go -

my MPC4000
Korg Oasys
Mackie Digital X Bus

Those last 2 are way beyond my budget, but would be nice.
