Decisions, Decisions.
May. 11th, 2009 03:45 pmOkay, here's the deal.
I wanted a Korg m50. The 61-key is still $1,050. It came with some interesting software integration, which would be great because I built this PC specifically for being the centerpiece of my home studio. Problem is that, the 61 key does not have graded hammer action keys, and I really, really, really, want a real piano feel. Because any time I've touched my fingers on a real piano, I've fallen in love (and it hasn't been much, mind you.)
However, there's a deal going on with any version of the m3. The m3 is about twice as expensive as the m50, but it's features are endless. It has essentially every feature of their $8,000 board, the Oasys. And until September 30th, I get a korg stereo field recorder worth $900 for free with a purchase of it.
The issue is that it's going to take me two straight months, if not more, to afford it. I really want to get back into working with music intensively, but I need a real synth workstation to start off right. I simply don't know what to do. I know in the music industry, you ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
But I'm not rich and famous yet...it's not so easy. If I buy a board that's not as awesome as what I need, I might be screwing myself for a long time...
