I got lucky this last week and got a Korg volca for $40 on offerup. A hardware synth to start with would be on ebay for around $100 a behringer td3.

Do you want a synth or need one for the sound you want? You can rarely get cheap synths, and even renoise has some software synth, so it might make sense to start with software.

I also got a zoom h4n pro that is portable and can record sounds from the stereo mics, or through analog inputs. 10 channels, with usb in out and unmixed. I have a Yamaha mg10xu that's cheap and fairly good. Which one would you suggest for 200 в‚¬ max?Дepends on your intent. But usb sound cards or mixing boards I'd recommend. It's probably only going to help those who are pushing the limits of better hardware.ДЈ) For sampling external gear I would need an audio interface, right? (Unless you can tell that sound isn't instant or is lagging)Д¬omputer wise jack might not help if you're getting lag while playing a song in renoise. Ok, well you're talking about an older machine, so it might be needed.Д«ut other software wise, you probably don't need jack at all. Jack is kinda a pain, but almost isn't really needed today.

And only if you feel bogged down and can't find a better solution to lighten Ubuntu.ДЇor some reason I can't get Jack audio working I suggest debian because you can make it much lighter than Ubuntu and you dont have the ads and crapware that Ubuntu forces on you.

But Ubuntu does provide more accessible drivers and libraries. Learn how synths work, so you can use that when you've got the $500-$1200 to spend on a synth you want.Дў) Is it okay to use Lubuntu or should I try another distribution? As software synths might be a better direction in the short term, hardware synths is like buying a grand piano vs a Casio keyboard. You're probably better buying a little better computer.

Should I spend my money on a better PC instead of buying a synth?

More ram will help, especially if you've got high quality samples. Since the workload is very threaded and each track is ran in parallel threads. Renoise is heavy on the cpu, especially better if you can throw more cores/threads at it. You'll run into problems when you need to have larger projects, and doing a lot at once. Does it work? If so then yeah you're probably gonna be ok. I've got lots of hardware synths from my younger days, but I mainly use software - it's just more convenient, you don't need to worry about connecting everything, loading patches, recording in real time etc.ДЎ) is it realistic to expect to use such an old weak PC for music production? With Windows you can use the hundreds/thousands of free VSTs and possibly avoid the need for a hardware synth. They usually come with a Windows licence too, and while I prefer Linux for work, when it comes to music it can be a pain. I got an i5-3470 for $40USD that has lasted me years - I maxed out the RAM and put in an SSD and it's perfect for what I need it to do. There's always some office somewhere that's upgrading computers, so you can usually get ex-lease office desktop machines for pretty cheap - they often don't have fancy graphics cards etc, so the demand for them is low since most people want to play games with their computer. Those E1-2500s are pretty slow in the grand scheme of things, so even if you stole an amazing synth, the limitation will be your computer and you'll probably hit the wall quite soon if you start doing much in the way of processing. If I were you, I'd look at getting a second hand computer for cheap with a bit more grunt than what you've got.
