Evening all,
I'm posting for some advice...
[u][b]Scenario:[/b][/u]
I'm trying to get up to speed with synth bass. I want to do a serviceable job at playing Michael Jackson basslines (and other assorted 80s highlights). I know almost nothing about interfaces and music software. At present I just have a Roland Juno-D keyboard which I simply use for fun at home (trying to sound like Toto...that type of thing).
[u][b]Question:[/b][/u]
Can anyone recommend a basic setup that can be used to produce serviceable synth bass live at gigs? I'm looking for something affordable, practical and simple to use alongside a real bass setup. I'd also love to be able to produce and trigger some loops/backing tracks if possible. I'm thinking I'll need a laptop, an interface device and some fancy software, but I have no idea where to start, or even if this is what I really need. I literally know nothing!
[u][b]Budget:[/b][/u]
My budget for the whole setup is going to be £500-1000, so it's going to be entry-level stuff. Is this all wishful thinking?
Any advice would be appreciated,
