is there such a thing as too much equipment?

I'm about to buy a Rockdirect XCTX-PRO-T72 laptop,

About £200 on an external soundcard (i'm still not sure which one yet, any suggestions)

A, B-CONTROL ROTARY BCR2000

And a m- audio trigger finger.

Is this too much?

for the soundcard it depends on what you want to do with

id recommend a midi controller with keys....

unless mouse clicking is your way of gettin down

i know alot of dudes that dont play the keys, but for me especially now that i know a bit about theory and all that sh!t...its way too important not to express yourself that way

i wouldn't get the trigger finger...i'd either get a control keyboard with pads on it or i'd got with something by a different company...there are some midi pads with more faders and nobs than m-audio's for the same price...

laptop, soundcard and controller too much? hardly. sounds like the standard rig for making trendy minimal music.

now... is there a such thing as too many vsts? absolutely.

or too much hardware gear... it's the same thing. I'll never go there again.

definitly. but if you can, go for a real synth. something with keys and nobs that you can also use as a midi controller.
