Well, in my opinion you need to decide to go one way or the other. Both ways require a fairly significant investment so it doesn't make sense to go both ways - you'll end up spending much more money, or doing without.

If you go with internal sounds (and I would... it makes life so much easier), you'll need a computer upgrade to do any signficiant amount of work without constantly freezing tracks to give you back processor overhead or RAM. Then in terms of software, you want a good DAW (like Cubase), a good sampler (Kontakt), a good few libraries, and possibly some synth plugins (maybe Reaktor or Absynth or one of the billions of others out there).
What style of music do you do?

So it seems like external synths might do you then, and then use the editing capabilities of your DAW. Unless I'm missing something, you don't actually have a need for a sampler. Do you have a full band, or are you making up for something missing - like drum machine instead of a drummer or whatever...

it is just two of us, I am the drummer and I also play some guitar and some vocals. he plays most all of the guitar on other songs and plays bass, it is like musical chairs a little. we would not mind being able to sample maybe some speeches or weird random stuff, but we don't need any instruments.

Hello, everyone. Today is my first day on this forum. This is a totally new experience for me so be nice to me, please. Thanks.
I came here hoping that someone would help me solve a problem that I have with one of my PCs. Let me say that I have two PCs and that I use the same MIDI software on both. On the first computer there is absolutely no conflict. Yet the second PC freezes for an instant as I begin sequencing. Could this be a timing issue or what? I hope that someone out there will be able to help me. Thank you very much.

mmaduonyeuwa.

It looks like this "sticky" thread isn't sticking.

I found it at the bottom of page 1.

That would be up to your drum machine. The other stuff should be OK.
