buy a keyboard, and a half ounce of the best pot you can find. and a good pair of headphones. don't try to be a "serious" producer from the start. have some fun, learn your machinery, or software. use some caution however, those all in one software programs are dangerous to beginners....just remember, anyone who buys it gets ALL that same stuff too. i'd say go with what's natural, build on the musical knowledge you already have and explore. don't get a groove box and think you can go out and do a techno set in three weeks. and prepare to dissapear from public view, and lose your girlfriend, and your friends for that matter. save money for coffee, food and weed and gear. mostly gear. good monitors will eventually be an issue, as will a computer. give up thinking about being original, you either are or aren't. if you aren't, try not to worry about it, but just do what you do the best you can. you might suck. be ready for this realization. you might not....be ready for this too.

that's all i got.

oh, and listen to dirty radio today from noon-2
