Hi all, I would greatly aapreciate any help or direction..

I am finally making the commitment to produce music ..yeah!.. dance
music is what I want to produce.. For x-mas I got a pair of Yamaha
MSP5's..

SO.. my question is.. what do I need next?

I have already..

A pc computer with a creative SB live value audio card plenty of GIGS
and ram
win pro xp..

What do I hook up the monitors too?
Should i get a Eurorack mixer? there is an inexpensive one under $100
Wuould i connect my speakers to that?
Could I connect my computer to the Eurorak mixer?
I want to be mostly software based..
Would I conect the midi keyboeard to the eurorack or the computer?
THANKS
Any advice or help is appreciated..

I believe they are active so you just connect them the Line Out/Speaker Out
(usually green) on the back of the SBLive.

Do you need one? Unless you are using it to record multiple sources (more
than two) to a single stereo track at once I don't see why you would. You
definitely don't need it for mixing or playback.

Depends.

> Could I connect my computer to the Eurorak mixer?

Sure.

Then forget the mixer.

Either. The computer will be fine. Connect it's audio outs to the Line In
(usually blue) on the SBLive. Get a gameport-to-MIDI converter to connect
the MIDI ports.

Tell us what you want to do with what you have.
