Welcome to the forum. It would be easier to make recommendations if you would tell us in some detail what you’d like to do with your XF. By the way, a new XF should come with Cubase AI - why not give that a try before considering a different DAW? In the meantime, have fun becoming familiar with the XF. |

Hi @5pinDIN: My whole purpose is to compose and record my Songs. I need to mix Vocals and various instruments. I want the least setup.What is the minimum requirement to acheive this. IMP question. What if I had bought just an M Audio MIDI Keyboard, what else I would have needed to buy in that case that I saved on buying the MOTIF. -Heman |

The “least setup”? Get a microphone that matches the A/D input of the XF, a USB flash drive, and then (depending on your expectations) with a lot of work you might be able to do everything on the XF.
Â
Aside from a MIDI keyboard controller, you’d need everything else that a workstation like the XF contains. That includes things such as a sound source, sampler, sequencer, ...
I hope I’m wrong (and I apologize if I am), but…
If I’m correct, I’d sincerely suggest that you consider returning the XF6 and getting your money back if at all possible. Then determine exactly what it is you want to do and what’s needed to do it before making purchase decisions. If I’m incorrect about your situation, then I suggest slowing down a bit, and exploring options before buying anything more. I understand being excited about recording your own music, but sometimes expensive mistakes are made when you rush. Best of luck in reaching your goals. |

Thanks for the explanation 5pinDIN. I read a lot and enquired a lot about this. Now I am very much sure about what to do. I am buying an apple product next since my Toshiba sucks.
