A hardware setup will be expensive, but most hardware purchased used, will hold its value well (or even gain value), even after many years, in case the owner decides to sell it. Many old classic electronic instruments will be economical to repair, as most will hold their value well, and will remain useful for making new music. Most computers will end up in e-waste after 10 years, with value only in scrap metal.
@@justhardware Sure upkeep on individual instruments is better but replacing an entire DAW with hardware costs an American college fund. The cost of computer upkeep is worth it for the infinite use cases of a DAW. And whether or not a musician used a DAW to create a tune, it’ll eventually be processed by one anyway if it’s being released. Even if you choose the most value-appreciating synths, what’s the point of hardware if a copy of Ableton Live and a laptop costs a few hundred bucks? Also, people will be using DAWs forever. People won’t be using the Korg minilogue xd forever. In a decade, the skills of using hardware that has gone out of style will be as useful as a computer that’s been scrapped for parts. Imo it’s more worth it to learn how to use a DAW, because those skills are long-lasting, useful, and transferable skills that people potentially pay money for. That’s just me though
I think it depends on someones's personal preferences and their workflow. Either one, or a combination, will create music. It's not dramatically more expensive with cheaper used instruments, that can be resold, and digital effects. "what’s the point of hardware if a copy of Ableton Live and a laptop costs a few hundred bucks" -Because you can start playing/making music straight out of the box every time, without computer audio/driver issues, audio lagging, pops, clicks, performance problems, buggy updates, and software crashes. You get to have fun playing your musical instrument live, with your own hands/fingers, and people like to watch it. People still make new classic musical instruments that have been around for centuries, and people pay money to watch other people play songs on them, that were written centuries ago. AI will someday create whole songs instead of people, but people will probably always enjoy playing instruments and watching others play them.
@@antoniocalimero1173 lol what are you talking about? Neither of those things are true at all. You can write a successful book however you please just the same way you can make a tune with whatever tools you want. Lmao
Superb! Really punchy. Got my eye on the desktop Minilogue. I was just informed of the M8 tracker; i could not imagine getting into an even smaller box for production.
It's best to have at least 1 device with a keyboard, unless you plan on only doing percussive techno-style beeps. Many (but not all) of the newer sequencers are very limited vs older hardware sequencers.
You don’t need a computer, you just need a hardware setup that costs as much as one.

You certainly need hardware to be and remain creative in combination with a DAW. Same as with books. A digital book has never been a success

Fun thing. We got an old Roland MC-909. Its kinda simular and lots of fun.
oooohhhhh wow!! what an absolute banger I love this style

@@justhardware going to run it with a Korg Microsampler as controller, and ES-1 for drum tracks.
brilliant !
This is the real deal ❤🎉
Ah, man, that's so good 👏👏
