HELP!!! I NEED ADVICE ON BUILDING A HOME STUDIO

[Big Tyme]

I would like to build a computer based recording studio and I would like to know what are the essential components that I need to get started.
For example:Computer(pc/mac), Software ,soundcard, sampler/sequencer, etc.


I would like to get into song
production,multitrack recording, sampling, sequencing, beat production,etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I think that most importent for you is good synth with sequencer and sampler- Korg Triton for example. Then you have to go for pro tools, Logic or Acid software.(Acid only for PC).

Your request is kind of absurd. its like busting into a desntists office and declaring, "I wanna be a dentist, whaddaya gooata do?".

Actually, I am not a total novice to the world of studio recording as you might think. Im way past the 4-track deal. Come on now, give me a break!!! I have a little experience with working with multitrack recorders Analog( Alesis A-Dat) and Digital(Steinberg Cubase). The whole purpose of of a message Board is to share information and provide help and advice for those that need it.

I have been using my current PC(compaq) as a multi-track studio but I have been encountering many problems. This is the reason why I made my initial post. I wanted to know what components are best for computer based recording so that I don't make the mistake of purchasing a bunch of garbage.

Personally, I don't think that my post was silly or stupid at all. I just asked a simple question.

Big thanks to Emsi for helping me out and I would appreciate any one else that can help me rather of posting unintelligent replies such as the one from KAMASUTRA77.

Sorry but thet was just a dumb question, we all ask em sometimes.
