what equipment do i need to sound like animal collective/ passion pit/ the flaming lips?
I'm trying to create music... however its not professional enough... i need to upgrade my horrible set up to something better so i can make something of myself for once... with your help maybe? thanks guys!
You can create professional-sounding music with any equipment, as long as you're creative enough. One of my favorite albums was created with a walk-man's built-in microphone, a broken guitar, and a few old toy Casio keyboards. I'd first suggest taking a look at what you have before spending a lot of money on equipment you may not need.
The three bands you listed are probably not a good place to start. They use a lot expensive electronic equipment (synthesizers, effects modules, mixers), much of which is probably custom-built. Even if it were all available retail, it's really not practical to "upgrade" your whole set up all at once, just because it's not good enough, and more importantly, it certainly won't make you a better musician.
Stick to what you have. I promise that in the long run you'll glean a lot more from working as simply as possible.
