Several months ago, I built @isaria a new Music Production / Video Editing Windows machine. I think that was in Januarary or so. Anyway. It's July and with her writing and producing music for @steemmonsters, it's finally getting used!
If you listen to our radio shows, you'll no doubt be familiar with her not wanting the latest and greatest Windows machine, but a new Mac Book Pro so she can produce her posts in maximum couch comfort.
We struggled, we fought, we hugged, and in the end, she'll probably get that Mac... BUT FOR NOW, I WIN!!!
Since We have everything running and working, we're starting to dabble in some electronic music.
Now here's where I start to go off the rails.
I'm one of those people that jumps fully head-first into a project, which means I don't spare anything to make sure that the newest hobby has all of the new toys, gadgets, and plug-in stuffs that I can handle. (It also means I have a closet full of hobby crap that didn't take but that's another story)
I have two pieces that I'm saving up for.
This is The Native Instruments Maschine MK3
It has buttons and stuff. I don't know exactly what it does, but I know that I apparently need it. At least that's what Isaria tells me, and I tend to believe her on stuff like this.
The Moog Mother-32
Look at that bad-boy. It's billed as a semi-modular analogue synthesizer. If you check any of the video sites, you can see this thing in action. It's beautiful and makes some serious sounds. I can't wait to get this and start playing around with it.
So the question to the electronic music experts out there: Any suggestions in alternatives that I may have missed? We are going in to this a bit blind, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
That MOOG synth is a pretty awesome machine! MOOG makes some of the best stuff out there.
As for the pad device, I have a basic idea of what it does, my knowledge is limited to it's percussion uses, but I know that there's a bunch of other things it can do as a MIDI controller.
If it was me, I'd go for the synthesizer first. :-)

I find this amazimg and I would love to help you out. I'm a music producer and I've been working in Ableton for some time now and got to know it pretty good.
As for the hardware, I use a midi keyboard and a launchpad. Along with my guitars and a few mics, I find it enough.
Maschine is an amazing instrument (especially for electronic music) and you can do wonders with it. You can basically load it with all the samples you like and play them on loop or as one-shot and change the samples as you're working on your song or playing live. You can also make a lot of effects on it and manipulate the sound samples. It's a beast and it takes sometime to learn how to fully use it.
As for the moog, you can't go wrong with it. One of my dreams is to own any kind of moog synth. I use the minimoog VST for now and I love the sounds it makes. It does a really good job of copying the sound of the analog moog and you might wanna try it first to see if you like it after purchasing an expensive piece of hardware.
Load up you Maschine with samples, sync your Moog with it and see what comes out of it :D
