He has a bass guitar and the DAW sorted but is looking to stretch out with synth, drum machine etc. I had a hard time making concrete recommendations beyond a couple because I have reached a point where budget and versatility considerations do not really inform my studio any longer. His need is obviously for maximal efficiency and utility for a limited budget. So, if you had around thousand us dollars or euros, what would your most bang for the buck studio setup be? The setup must include a midi controller or synth that could function as one, powered monitors, and a drum machine of some sort. Plugins are an option as is physical hardware and he doesn't seem to have a preference one way or another. He views this setup as being for recording at home and not for playing out.
