No maybe not but have you guys any idea what the most basic of investment is ? Some people quoted artists who have recorded tracks with a drum machine and a sampler. Ok the cheapest secondhand sampler in the UK is around 500Ukpounds, the cheapest drum machine at around 150Ukp. Thats not the final story, if you can get away without using a mixing desk *somehow?* you still need at least one FX unit - 150Ukp. What you gonner master it on - fucking cassette ? add another 350minimum for a DAT machine. So show me tune making on the cheap and as we say in the UK, I'll show my arse in Burtons Window .... M:)
