Have you tried digidesign's homepage? Search on google for ProTools LE download or something. 56k sucks :) -P |

Well I cant use Pro Tools under WinXp...... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

The software isn't that good anyway. ProTools has always been about hardware. If you're even half-serious about hd-recording, check out the Digi001 package. There's no limit to things I can't afford... -P |

Poop on Pro Tools, i know some bedroom producas who released 12" which where made completly in Fruityloops ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know some published producers who release music made in fruityloops |
||||||||
|

Protools. massive attacks choice of software apparently =) |
||||||||
|

www.digidesign.com -> should find it from there ive got a 56k modem .. just takes time - dunno bout the crashing tho ? |

Pro Tools... the choice of a wank generation! |
||||||||
|
|

for all the shit fruityloops gets, it's really amazing to find out how many records actually were created in it. Protools may be powerful, but none too many can afford it |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

|

Protools is wicked if you want to use it in conjunction with a hardware baised studio setup, but as music software for the sake of soley digitaly produced music it won't be nearly as usefull or as well used. |

Monoid, who do you know that released a 12" using only FruityLoops? Anyway, pro-tools is a great program. Beautiful editing capabilities. Great EQ, good noise gate/compressor limiters. The plug-ins are fantastic. You need to know something about sound engineering to fully appreciate it. |

Squarepusher and NIN use protools... It can't be that bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i strongly use fruityloops over protools, but i also have a alrger array of music software that i incorporate... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, nin is a huge advocate of protools... i didn't know that squarepusher used it too... |
||||||||

you can't compare pro-tools with fruityloops. pro-tools is an editing tool. fruityloops is a tool that allows you to make music/patterns. I mean they're different things. You can edit sounds in fruityloops, but pro-tools editing is far greater. |

Bjork uses protools too. |

I want to start making my own tunes. What equipment has everyone got? What do you guys recommend. I was planning on getting an Akai sampler and CUBASE. I'm very ignorant when it comes to equipment. Any magazines that I should read? |

How much do you know about MIDI, jonesy?..also have you got a PC at home?.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've got a really old Mac. Are there any books I can read? I know little/nothing about MIDI. Its music in digital form right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

MIDI is a but like a roll of that old player piano stuff...it's not the actual sounds, it's just instuctions of when to turn notes on & off... You should be able to get a decent mac/audio/midi book from amazon... theres quite a lot to learn... Is there anything like Fruityloops or Reason on the mac, anyone?...these progs basically give you a whole studio inside your PC so you don't need to get too much into MIDI or external hardware...You'd need a decent PC or Mac to run em on but for not much more that the cost of Cubase & a Akai sampler you could get far more facilties... I'm sure there are some MAC specific music sites out there...do a google...but most software does need a decent machine... |

has anyone here heard of nasenbluten? they have released a few albums written in Protracker for the amiga500, a perfect example of what can be done in 8bit mono |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cheers. I'll scour the net. Its really daunting. Really I want to make sample based music like DJ Shadow. |
||||||||

I'd be tempted to go for a mid priced PC & perhaps ACID 3 Pro... Thats a very powerful combination...handles a lot of the hard work for you (like getting loops at the right tempo) and lets you concentrate on your musical ideas rather than techy stuff.... PC with a decent soundcard wouldn't cost much more than £500, & ACID you can get for free (if you know the right people...(and you know the right people..;)).. You'd probably get around a 1ghz Pc for that...plenty of power for running ACID...you can pick up a lot of good secondhand PC deals in the local paper; good old Essex Chronicle seems packed with em... Might even be able to get a laptop....I've got a 600Mhz PIII and even tho it's not blinding fast, it can handle things like ACID & most other audio software ok... |

Yes, there are up to date versions of Reason, rebirth, and all that good stuff for the mac. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He's got an old Mac tho...I reckon Reason or even rebirth would have trouble running... What sort of machine is it, jonesy?.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its well old. I used it for writing essays at uni. I need a newer PC and will look out for one when I get rid of some of my debt. Thanks for the advice. So you can get the software by copying it from others then? I hear its really expensive to buy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

If you get a PC you can get on SOULSEEK and theres tonnes of stuff on there...Cubase, ACID PRO, FL , all the plugin, Reaktor, Traktor... If you can't get on Soulseek then someone not a miles away can sort you out a cd with everything on..(i.e. me..).. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is Soulseek online? Cheers for the offer mate. I might take you up and return the favour as best I can. It might be a while though, the way my bank balance is so static. |

Maybe spending less on "ladies of the night" might spare some cash up... or is it the Crack addiction?..;).. hand on a minute, those 2 may be the same thing...;).. |

hey jonesy, the "computer music" mag aint bad for info [www.computermusic.co.uk], they have a beginner guide section, which might be (in parts) quite useful. ^ and that offer[?] jand has proposed is well worth going for!!! (if only risking getting too much stuff in one go!) |

beside FLoops, and acid, what is the alternative to pro tools? i heard that sonar is a killer. and does anyone know of these "creamware" cards? what exactly are these? and how do they work? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fruityloops and acid are not really an alternative to protools. protools is as it says a 'pro tool'. soemthing equivilent would be: sonar cubase cakewalk personally i find most these proggies to be to much learning and not enough creating, but there meant to be awesome once you know what your doing. still, i cant go past fruityloops / vegas and my trusty ol tracker. |

Protools is great if you know what you're doing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Most musicprograms are great if you know what you're doing. I think the closest thing to Pro-tools would be Steinberg Nuendo. |
