Hi, I have no money for equipment, but have acoustic musical instruments to make music. I will probably record the melodies on the instruments and use eletronic rhythms. What would be the best way to go about this? |

a Drum machine programme |

Well yeah, but which? I was using Hydrogen, but someone I know who has some knowledge said it was a simplistic piece of shit. You got any ideas for a better free one- and easy to use, I am a beginner. Fruity loops? |

i recommend a Drum machine programme for your Drum machine programming needs. |

=( Guys, this isn't helping... |

there are a few drum machine freewares on the net. Give it a google! Unfortunately, i doubt you'll be able to export anything you'll have come up with. So you'll have to figure something out. |

fruity loops isn't free. if you're wanting free stuff i reccomend learning trackers and picking up maybe some free synths from kvraudio or something |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i use fxpansion guru, not free but simple and easy to learn |
||||||||

Elektron Machinedrum It isn't free. It isn't software. But damn it's good. |
||||||||
|

|
|
get fruityloops or reason. they're free. (on a torrent, that is) |
||||||||

i would suggest recording loops of 2 or 4 or 8 bars or whatever, then using sound forge and acid to edit and arrange them into music. you'll probs need a decent mic. you can just get pirate copies of all this shiz, chiiiill. |

|
|
you can pick up a pretty cheap shure sm57 mic on ebay, tho. |

Nor is the Elektron Machinedrum cheap- a grand? Dear me! Looks like a nice ol' piece of kit, though. |
||||||||

This mic looks good- sturdy and quite cheap. And sometimes it even comes with a carry case! =) Cheers- I might invest in one of these soon! |
||||||||

This looks much more powerful than what I usually use, Hydrogen- I'll give it a go, thanks ve' much! |

I'm too dumb to use that shiz! =( It'll be good for getting used to that kinda equipment though. |

If you get a Mark 1 version second hand without the UW sampling engine, they're about £500-600 now. That is expensive, but definitely worth it, it's so much more than just a drum machine. |

I have just been tinkering on hobnox, which while fun, is something that I found to be quite intimidating, since I spent about half an hour just getting to grips with what did what. And I still don't really understand. My mate told me that programming music manually is a lot of work and requires a lot of practice/ research/ knowledge e.t.c and now I see that he really wasn't exaggerating. |

That really is a lot of money for me- I am student without a job. =( When I was at home working at M&S, I would have jumped at the chance to buy such items, but now such things seem frivilous to me. Also, if I bought that I would have to buy a bunch of other stuff- keyboard, MIDI controller, whatnot. I will take note though for future reference! So thanks. =) |

well like everything you need a bit of practice, patience and perseverance, so if you give up you already understood why. |
