How do you guys think this setup would work for me. I mainly produce along the lines of lo-fi, chillax, head noddin stuff not hard 808 grimy shit. It sounds like a mix between Jazzmatazz, ATCQ, Hi-Tek and some neo soul.

Here it is (all gear!):
Akai mpc 1k
Boss sp 303
Akai DPS 12
2 mixers hooked together
cd rom drive to burn to
portable turntable
extensive vinyl and movies

some feedback would be nice
but lets make this a better post and after youve peeped mine leave yours or your actual set up for me to peep

Here's my setup:

*Quicksilver Macintosh with 768 MB ram and 180 GB storage running Logic Platinum 6 and loads of plugins for tweaking sounds beyond recognition, as well as Peak (which I LOVE for sample editing)
*Belkin compactflash reader/writer
*Delta-44 sound card
*Numark TTX turntable (GREAT for sampling with +/- 50% and key correct)
*Virus Indigo
*Mackie 1402-VLZPro mixer
*MPC 1000
*Akai S950
*2 x dbx 266xl compressors
*Patchbay
*Sherman Filterbank 2
*Electrix WarpFactory
*Electrix MoFX
*Alesis 23 band stereo EQ
*Elektron SidStation
*FutureRetro 777
*Bellari tube preamp
*JBL monitors

Someone else post their setup....wondering what everyone uses. :-)
