Thats cool man, if simple works for you then do whats comfortable, otherwise the end result will suffer. I'm just in a rut now when it comes to hip hop so I'm taking a break. Good to see others here into the art though!
I don't have much equipment for my pc. I just use Reason 3.0. My soundcard is on board so i don't have a MIDI input. My dad has a MIDI-Keyboad, a mixing console, a microphone, a small drum machine and Cubase. I just looked today, how I could plug the MIDI-Keyboad into my soundcard. Can you give me an advice what kind of adapter cable I should use? Until now, I always make my beats without a keyboard which is bothering me now, cause I do that shit like 2 years now. I need to step my game up to make more quality sound. It's just difficult because I don't have the money to buy all that dope equipment.

But them cables are expensive and as far as I don't use my father's pc I don't have a midi keyboard to work with. Maybe I will install reason on my dad's pc to check the keyboard.
