I think the DAW that looks just right for me is “Propellerhead Reason 8”. It maybe a $400 program but maybe it’s worth it??? It seems like it’s the best program for creating full band rock music with. The program have also been getting positive reviews from home recording musicians.

Again, it may be a pricey program but maybe it’s worth it, ya know? Maybe it’s better to get a pricey program ’cause usually cheap music recording software isn’t really all that good. They make ’em cheap for a reason.

I could go for Pro Tools but I think Pro Tools is overrated as hell so I think I’m gonna try something different. Propellerhead sounds awesome to me.

I think it’ll make more sense if I buy the Focusrite audio interface and the studio monitors first and then I’ll start saving up for the DAW software.

Saving up for new music recording gear will begin this week.

I also think I should get a set of studio headphones and a music stand too. I need a music stand so I can have something to set my notebook on… the notebook is where I write all of my lyrics and stuff.

Since the Focusrite will have a MIDI connection… I’ll have to soon get MIDI connection wires so I can hook up my MIDI keyboard to it. I would also need a keyboard stand. I gotta get around to learning how to play keyboard/piano first, though and will this year.

I wanna turn this room into a mini recording studio and that’s my goal.
