You can run this on any comp, if it's slow then u'll only be able to arrange 5-10 tracks at a time instead of 20-30. Learn the program and only upgrade u'r comp when u find u'r maxing out it's power.

Getting a MIDI Keyboard is an extra....it's not essential to making beats, but it can save a lot off time and allow you to be a bit more creative.

Sum advice, buy a magazine: Electronic Musician, Remix, Computer Music, Future Music, etc. and look at the pictures of a modern day home studio. They all center around a pc. Keyboards and other hardware is involved but basically they are all extra's. The most important piece is the pc, the software, and knowing how to use them.


Count't of said it better myself smart as always phate
