I have a SP-606 and ive been messing around with it. I want to make beats and buy new equipment. I also want to connect everything into one so I don't have to keep switching everything. Is there something out there to connect everything into one, is that what a interface does? But a external one?

I also would like to buy a nice keyboard. Something that would work with my 606. I also have a guitar and would like to use. I want this all connected into one so I don't have to keep switching everything.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Im also getting a record player, but if there is anything else you suggest let me know.

Could be a few things to do this. An audio patchbay and Midi patchbay could get everything running in, out, and/or through your 606. Maybe a Mixer, so you can plug everything into it. Maybe even s usb or firewire mixer, it can interface with your gear and your computer. I know it's vague but maybe this can help you figure out exactly what it is your looking for.

A mixer would be the place to start.

Can you post a link of what a mixer is? Could you also explain what a mixer is? And suggest which one would go good with a SP-606?

I also want this equipment to be a DJ and make beats.

I'm also going to be using a laptop with XP. But its not the best. This computer is good but I rather use a laptop to move around from houses.

I know this kid is new but whats funny is how kids wake up one day and say they want to produce im not putting him down but they think they can jus buy equipment and jus make beats u have to experiment ya know u cant jus jump on a message board and ask people what sumthin us or what should u buy to make beats WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU TO MAKE BEATS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD USE! what sum1 else uses isnt gonna help u make beats its all preference!!!! IM NOT PUTTING ANY1 DOWN! IM GLAD HES ASKING WHAT TO USE BUT AT THE SAME TIME HES WASTING HIS TIME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO USE! if u already have the sp then experiment on that and see what u come up with u say you've had for awhile but u hardly used it and now u want more when u havent even messed with the first thing!

HOPE U FIND WHATS GOOD 4 YA!

I'm not a kid and by the way you're typing you sound more of a kid with you're grammar, kid. You always have to ask to get somewhere. I never said I'm going to be the best producer alive now did I? Why don't you try to get some facts before telling us your opinion? I have messed around with it and made some quality beats. I am asking what can I use to put everything together on one so I don't have to switch back and forth between wires. I'm buying a keyboard so I want to connect everything in one. Please get your facts straight before giving your opinion. Thanks.

I really don't believe I said I would be the best producer alive. Don't like it? Don't reply.

You have to start somewhere, btw. Why not ask questions.

You keep on with the hate and at the same time you will motivate and I will appreciate.

Don't fight guys - there's no need for it here...we're all here to help each other learn. I've been making music since 1989 and I still learn new stuff nearly every day.

check out korg's zero8 or zero4 if you want a mixer that is for both studio work AND dj work. They're not cheap but they are pretty amazing bits of kit.

As I said in the post I wasent goin at him I was jus tryna say experiment with ur stuf man thats the only way ur really gonna get anywhere we all had to start with sumthin and i know this message board didnt get u started....I mean its cool to ask whats good about sumthin but not whats good for u or whats best for you because no1 knows how you make music or what you like I WAS NOT COMMING AT HIM! i was jus stating sumthing
