Hi, everyone. Those of you who make music, as I do, what programs and hardware do you use? I've got a Roland JX-305, FruityLoops, and some assorted software. I want something that will run well on my old, Windows system. Any suggestions? I'd like to get my hands on Reason, but wow, that's pricey stuff. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
One word. REASON |
||||||||
|
|

impulse tracker |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
cubase vst |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i use reason, some of the shit on analog x and the sampler, drum machine, and groove box, put out by korg under the name "electribe" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, and recycle, and i suppose you'd consider, my mixer, sequencer, and midi piano, "hardware" too, right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cubase don't run for shit on my comp. And I got 256mb of ram and 700mhz processor. Anyone know why that might be? I really pisses me off... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because you have a shitty computer? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i had problems with cubase before and i still have it. but when it works its just lovely! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What does Cubase do? I've heard of it, but I still don't know what its uses are. Care to enlighten me? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know my computer sucks. But damn how good does it need to be to run vst? From what I can tell though it would sound damn nice... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cubase is used by all kind of musicians. rock/pop/electronic/ its a homestudio for everyone! |
||||||||

I Make music .. but only with software.i dll loops from the internet and then i resampel them.In my new song my girlfriend sings :D .. you can listen it on : http://members.chello.nl/~t.verhofstad/Futhings%20-%20%20Vi cissitudinous.mp3 What do you think of it ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I stopped using sample long ago, but I think I might upload a few tracks that use them...WhenI did use samples it wa only drums. Then I found software that eliminated the need... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The hardest part is to PRODUCE the "sound" you want...........composing and such isnt very difficult....yeah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I use ideas, imagination, but am limited currently by Sonic D's sorry ass fractal incubater 4. I store all my musical data in a bannana attached to the computer with wires, and I found a way to compose music with wires attached to an apple (the bannana was not fit for composition really, the apple molecules work better some reason) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also use a roland jx-305, along with a yamaha fs1r and access virus. Haven't really used many computer programs, but I need to get some kind of sequencer, like cubase or logic. Hardware sequencers are very limiting...in my opinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hardware sequencers are not so good to use for multiple part sequences but if you want soething portable to just play into it is usually more effective as a recorder provided you can play keyboard., besides 1.44 floppies are a lot cheaper than a audio tape these days |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IM TOTALLY NEW to making music, all i have is a basic keyboard and fruity loops, someone help |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats a pretty general question. What do you need help with. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Listen to raimons , he is a wise man and a very talented music maker!!!! I sugest you download a file sharing program like kazaa or Morpheus and from there you can download a cracked free version of any music program you want and then create a master piece!!!. Also download "win your love for me" by Sam Cooke cause it's the most beutiful love song ever made. That voice man !!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"crackin up" by Ceasars Palace is a great love song to!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Always trust my download sugestions cause i have the best music taste man!!! |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
astroboy is kewl but Monoid wants to make me puke7 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I use a Protools, a keyboard, Triton, sampler, and Nord |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the hardest sounds to emulate is a room full of people talking or laughing. youd need SO many oscillators! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have started to experiment with cubase. It is a very nice piece of kit if you have some other software also. Use it in conjunction with the synths in reason. I like it a lot. teeth |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool edit pro, fruityloops, orion. i do use hardware too but that is just to make it more fun. you can make anything on a computer using even the worst programs(if youre smart enough and patient enough) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
recycle, granulab, goldwave, fruity, pro 52, acid pro, battery, sawcutter, DT drum machine. and a few others i always forget |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My favourity software is Buzz and Reaktor. My favourite hardware is the Virus B. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah sid ! you have a good music taste! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Cubase VST, Native Instruments Pro-52, Waldorf Attack. Personally, I'd avoid anything that's tailored to make a particular kind of music, although Reason is quite powerful and fairly flexible. Learning to use one of the big sequencers like VST, Logic or Sonar will take time, but it will let you be far more creative in the long run, than say Orion or FL etc. |

I struggled for many years with an amiga600 using fastracker2 trying to write clean stuff but with very little to show for it, and now I have REASON and I thank the gods ... oh yeah and propellerhead too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey have you ever heard about Xilocaine, or MarkN from nasenbluten? Its an australian hardcore crew, they used amiga 600 to make lethal hard/speedcore trackz, but they stop now. i heard theyll play no more in europe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Acid, trackerz,cubase,various vst synthz, reason (for livez) recycle,Wavelab.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it's funny you mention that, it was mark that got me into amiga's, I've known him since 94, I have just recently designed some artwork for FIST26 12" single by subsonic! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they haven't stopped writing tracks... go to www.bloodyfist.com.au to get up to date on the latest |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lol it's to funny!!! I've met xilocaine and mark in holland, and ultreche, we were invited by simon underground, And in france too, in the astropolis festival. those guyz are cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, we received trackz some times ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've heard mark mention simon many times, did you ever hear about a cloak 7" release which was printed on clear vynil,? (or perspex I think?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
... not really. no mention on it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A mate and myself put it out two 7" as CLOAK001,and 002. Mark helped us with distribution and managed to get some copies over to europe, that was way back in 97 I think |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really cool... but i never heard of it, sorry. by the way, yu must be good friends, for sure. We gave them our five 12'' and 2 cdz. maybe yu've heard about the name Budburnerz? lol. i'm thinking that this is a tiny world after all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I use Fruityloops, cooledit and "piano player", some weird program with some really old cool sounds. i´ve just gotten use to fruityloops as a sequencer, i like using it.... but i´m feeling somewhat limited. please someone, explain what reason, reactor, and cubase can do for me! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and another question. do i need a keyboard, or a synth? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just downloaded Bamboo Made Bong from Vie tnam! it's fucking hilarious , put together well, I couldn't keep the grin off my face |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Lets say that yu got reaktor. Yu can make and use various synthz, by mountin virtual devices one by one, and rely them. With cubase, yu cant use reaktor as a vst instrument, wich means that yu can use, for example, a sequenced synth that play music following a tempo given by cubase via the midi clock. and then comes te fun stuff. Using reason and cubase, via the rewire port, u go all the stuff of reason to be played with cubase and reaktor. for example while in live, we use cubase mastertrack to give tempo and tempo changes to reaktor and reason, reaktor and others vst intrument play synthz, and reason is used to make real time moving beat structure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
with reaktor and reason even with cubase yer mouse and yer keybord are enough but a midi keyboard is better if yu rezally want to midiz. |
