WELL FORGIVE ME if I'm not happy with 2 seconds of 8bit sampling time
at 20khz. As far as the S700 and MKS-100 go you may get the machines
cheap but where yer gonner get the 2.8" quick disk media --- ahhhh ?

Oooh I love the sound of "wow and flutter" ....
$200-$250 for a Juno 106, get me hat and coat I'm coming over ...
your looking at 450Ukpounds over here. However gear is always more
expensive in the UK :( Even on new gear we pay well over the odds
Obviously the manufacturers can't quite handle a complicated
mathematical equation like $1.50=1Ukp, it's easier to just replace the
dollar symbol with a pound sign.
Overall, you quoted $500 other people said a basic estimate was nearer
$1000 and we could say that transpires to around 1000 Ukp. That in
my book is a fair amount of cash even for the most basic of bedroom
setups. It's obvious you need a fair degree of commitment to warrant
spending that sort of cash, so the least you would expect is a return
on your investment once you sell some records. Leading back to my
original point about wanting a wider audience for your "product / art".
I'm not saying be a bread head, but some return on your investment means
you won't be on the bread line ...
On the US attitude to dance music tip ...
quoted 1 line Plus, dance music is for pansies (or so many people think)>Plus, dance music is for pansies (or so many people think)
Interstingly as a comparison this was the attitude of most school children
in the 1980's over this side of the pond. So maybe there is some hope
of change when the non IDM'ers of the US "grow up" ....
