 |
|
Hello,
What an amazing community. I am a long time musician, and want to have some fun making electronic music (maybe recording eventually, not yet though) on my laptop. I know nothing of digital music making, but want to learn. What program dose anyone recommend. Easy to use, yet capable of fun stuff ? |

| I would recommend Propellerhead's Reason software. The latest version is Reason 3.0, although Reason 4.0 is in beta testing now. The possibilities are almost endless. One disadvantage is that the program is so unique that learning it won't teach you much that is applicable to learning other music software such as Cubase, Logic, etc. Try www.propellerheds.se (the manufacturer's home page). |

Hi
Theare is a very diverse range about so you need to know what it is you want to do.
Ie if youre a guitarist and want to record your own instrument then you're looking at an audio recording prog like cubase or logic soundtrack.
other progs lean well towards looping and mixing. others for sampling.
Being a keyboardist my system revolves around cubase sl 3 and Halion sampler and works well for what I want to do generally and there are loads of vst synths efx plugins some free and easy to locate on this very site though be warned , you need to know a lot about computers and the way sound data is handled in the digital realm. many issues will come up like latency,sampling rates, asio drivers, MIDI interfaces etc. It's a lot of fun and very educational if your'e really into it.
All the best [/quote] |
