I now have 1 hardware synth, 2 midi keyboards, a computer that will soon have SX3 and already has reason 2.5, and a 8 channel mixer.

Whats next?

EDIT:

Within a bugdet of 600 $ please.

Spare some money and get EastWest Colossus.

Edit: Or if you fancy hardware maybe Roland XV5050, or even original Roland Fantom if you're lucky to find one cheap.

Edit 2: Or a HW sampler, like Yamaha A-series or Emu E-series.

Yeah i think i have enough software for now, so what i'm looking for is Hardware synths slash sampler slash ect.

And i dont mind buying them on ebay.

Yup. Well, what you need then is a rompler or a sampler. Getting another VA would be pointless at this moment (not widening the sound spectrum at all).

Edit: Or maybe you should just spare money and get something good at once. You know the saying "poor can't afford cheap". You could get Motif ES rack or Fantom XR for about $1300 new and I can assure you those boxes are worth every penny.

i would suggest to acusticly treat your monitoring area if you havent done that yet.

co-signed ...

you should look out fro some direct field monitors, many people underate this factor ... but it's one of the most important parts in a home studio ! I was really amezed when i got my Event TR8s ... and i'm still supprised how much my sound has developed since that. These monitors are precision tuned to provide flat frequency response and uncolored sound, giving you a true sonic reference for mixing. So when you mix on a good monitor, you know your mixes will translate accurately to other playback systems

for 600$ you'll get some nice biamplified direct fields, my favourites are Genelec, Mackie and Event !
