Hello, hello

Hey, My name's Russ, and I'm new to the list. I've been poking around the archives for the last few days, and just thought I'd make myself known. I also have a few questions, but I'll give a little backhround first. I'm mainly a bassist/guitarist/singer, but I'm growing more and more interested in synths and the like. Just the sounds and everything really seem amazing to me. i don't really have much in the way of any synthesizers, save some $100 Yamaha piece of junk. I am, however, slowly building a music recording setup, albeit a simple one. I've got an old 8- track casette and a brand new iBook. All that to say, I'm not really sure where to start. My plan right now is to get a recording interface for my iBook (thinking of that Presonus Firebox). The next step would be a midi controller (CME keyboard, any other ideas?), and then Reason 3.0. I was going to fool around with that, and try to learn the ropes, as it were, while saving up for the A-!00 minisystem. Does this sound like a good plan, or should I try something else? What I really want to do in the end is have all the tools necessary to make recordings on my iBook using the A100. Am I starting in the right direction? Or, where did all of you guys start off? This board seems really helpful, and I've learned a lot already, so thanks in advance. - Russ
