So I'm a DJ and thus I've already got professional audio equipment and a MIDI controller (though it's for DJing and not a keyboard so it's not exactly optimal or really probably even useful in any way, though it does have like 14 knobs and 16 pads, plus other buttons and two touch-strips). I've always wanted to produce, though. I just went with DJing instead of producing first because of the high cost of production software and hardware, but since the hardware overlaps, DJing is easier to learn, and it's made me a bit of money, and since hopefully I'll need to know how to DJ for my own stuff for shows (if I make it big, which I suppose is everyone's goal and is highly unlikely, but I'm still hoping for).
I came to the realization the other day, however, that while producing is pretty much impossible without professional speakers/headphones, since you've got to be able to hear every little bit of your track, there might be a cheap way of doing it once you've got those things that maybe I don't know about?
I'm not sure. I just know I've got very little money and a burning desire to turn the tracks I hear in my head into files on a computer, especially since I forget them pretty quickly and can't write them down on paper because I can't identify a note just by hearing it. I'm not expecting anything that'd make it easy, not that it ever really is easy, especially at first, but obviously the bleeding-edge production tools are beyond my reach right now. I just want something to make it possible.
What options do I have?
