Answer 1

Synthesizers don't have to cost anything at all and recording studios don't have to take up any more space than what fits on your lap - with programs like Reason 4, Ableton Live, and FL Studio, virtual synthesizers that you can download for free (but not exactly legally, wink wink nudge nudge) work EXACTLY the same way as analog synths, and come with their own recording, arranging, composing, and mastering software most of the time.

I learned how to program, use, and find the best voices on some of the best known synthesizers (Korg, DX-7, various late 80s Casio models) through Ableton Live.

My point - don't go throwing money at synthesizers when the exact same thing could be available on your computer. Download Ableton and look for synthesizer plug-ins, recording software, and all the assorted software you would want - all you need now is the musical talent. lol
