Well, I'm not interesting, but I suggest modplug tracker, it's free. |

Yeah, just get some free programs from Shareware Music Machine (or download warez, but hey...) and just experiment. Buzz and Audiomulch are real inspirational programs and well-recommended. I think the URL is www.hitsquad.com/smm/ - give it a try. Chris. |

OK... Firstly, you need a decent multitrack editor. I suggest you buy a pirate...AHEM... I mean, official copy of Cakewalk Pro Audio. And you should buy a drum sequencer... such as Fruityloops. Of course, this is just for starters. There's a lot more you will need. |

Don't get too many programmes / tools straight away. Get a few and learn how to use them |

teeth's right - i suggest you start yourself off with some simple programming (ala. fruityloops) and then move on to tracking software later, to create those more complex structures |

I suggest you shove your computer up your ass and get some machines, drum machines, sound modules, sampler/sequencers. try an akai mpc 2000 and some midi effects modules. Link them all up and play them live. |

I am with James there, f#ck getting a load of programs and just churning out a load of anal geek machine-spew. Get a broken drum machine, a schizo eight-track digital recorder, a kid's keyboard and a 1982 sampler. Then get pissed and play all this cack like a man. Computer-based music is for nerds and scaredy cats. Buy shit with knobs on. |

I have limited exerience with "hands on" equipment But it is not possible to play computers live and also have a few effects to alter manualy? Are computers not more flexible, in that many extra little effects programmes can be used with other software? |

All I ever use a PC for now is Rebirth (a Roland 303 emulation program), bcuz I find that staring at music as 'data' on a screen tends to affect your judgement of what you want. Things stop becoming instinctive, and you end up letting the program you are using guide your hand, unwillingly. It all depends what you want . . . I like stuff that sounds live, out of time, scruffy and scratchy. If you are after super-precise, Autechre style beats, then you are going to have to use a computer, but to get a rough, instuitive feel, it's got to be all hands on knobs. I'm sure someone out there will disagree with me, of course . . . |

With hands on equipment is it possible to save ideas like you are able to on computers ? There is an item called a phatboy which i believe allows for manipulation of computer programmes. There is a piece of kit by midi man coming out soon that allows for live manipulation. It looks great |

i prefer hardware. i think more work (which isn't all that bad, because in the end if feels more worthwhile) goes into making songs and you also have the joy of finding or making your own sounds and being able to fiddle with them. |

Definitely. It IS a lot more effort, and you WILL cry at times, but machines become extensions of your self in a way a computer never can . . . |

I believe you can make a Frey Bentos t-shirt by simply mashing a steak and kidney pie onto an old Saxon tour t-shirt and allowing it to 'gestate' in your airing cupboard. Also works for Pukka. |

if possible get Hardware and Software, but it is alot easier to use software on its own obviously, like Im trying to find a way to hook up my pc to a Korg Synth and a old Yamaha drum machine, I can hook up the synth fine and it works, but everytime I plug my drum machine into the pc without the synth the pc crashes >:( and the only way it will work is if it is run from the synth, but then the synth slows down and wont play itself, which of course make me Extra angry. the problem I think is different forms of midi on the synth and drum machine, bah |

Wizards Teeth: Sort of, lack of money is holding me back from hardware so I'm starting off with Fruity Loops. Cheers mate. ******************** CAUTION! DANGER! ******************** READ BELOW FOR SAFETY The mince and Frey Bentos pies have been known to rupture people's spleems, but only when they have had former dealings with the rare Yellow Capped Coca Cola bottles. A large percentage of these poor people have also admitted to having pint glass fetiches. It is proven that they are an official treat if combined with the former. The Tins however ARE EXTREMELY... ...HARMLESS (unless you wear shoes, in which case you're fucked) |
