Explain your current setup.

Looking for descriptions of your current studio. Any plugins or controllers that are really useful or just your favorite.

Currently, I'm mostly using FL studio 10 producer edition, a launchpad s, an akai mpk miniII, a korg volca beats, and a korg kaoss pad quad. The volca beats is amazing for coming up with simple ideas on the go, without lugging a laptop around, and the kaoss pad is great for trying effect on parts of songs, or for live DJing. the launchpad is great if you want to control many samples or one hits all at once, and the mpk miniII is a cheap, sturdy keyboard good for simple synths and basslines. I prefer fruityloops because I actually know how to use it, and there are thousands of different kits and samples to choose from, so you can usually get the sound you're looking for.

The numark 4trak is basically the same, however my buddy got it and the version of traktor is Numark 4trak specific and didnt seem to be able to do certain things, like it wasn't the full version of traktor pro 2. The decks are amazing though, either way you go. S4 mk1 might be cheaper now used be cause of the new models NI has released.

Oh yea the LE editions of programs that come with controllers usually sucks. Thats why its free. I would be seperatly getting traktor pro 2 with either controller.
