Hey nice to see a new face around here! Well there are 2 or 3 main ways to make electronic music. You can use equipment strictly, software on your computer strictly, or use both. Using both would be your best bet in making the best most diverse quality tunes. Now... you should let us know what kind you want, and other info. >:D |

I want to make drill and bass, mainly, or possibly BOC-style ambient. So... equipment, how much would I expect to pay for some cheap starter stuff? (bear in mind I live in the UK). |

Hmm well starter stuff?... Amiebt beats... ? Hmm.. well I have no idea.. it can be expensive as shit and it can be cheap as shit if you know what I mean. Just check it out on the net. Or places around where you live. |

Thats fine... Hm... well well.. maybe software would be the way to go for now.... for you that is. I know that many people have ripped off copies .. known as cracked appz. They will give them to you for free.. or download for free. Ask in this MB.. youll find it. |

get a job at a music store, that way you can buy it at cost..and sometimes you can buy it even cheaper from the companies themselves when you're at such places..and even cheaper still is to steal it and then quit when you have all you want. |

Otovoh on 2001-08-26 13:43 [#00025890] | |||||||||

But seriously, where do I get equipment which will make decent quality sound for the lowest price? I just want to know how much I can expect to pay at minumum for decent stuff. |

First of all software.... shouldnt cost you much... as a matter of fact shouldnt cost you anything :) Get these: Sound Forge or Cool Edit (Pro or 2000) -- to edit and record sound ACID (2.0 OR 3.0) -- for sequencing and arrangement of your sounds and samples now for the actual software soundmakers: I dont know... gotta ask someone else about that... HARDWARE!!: Dirt cheap.... go to radio shack and get 1. a cheap keyboard... with some decent sounds on it (roughly $50 US ) 2. a cassette tape recorder... if you want that BOC sound you gotta go for a tape deck! It adds that 'feel' to it Now with your cheap'o keyboard plug it into the computer and pound away.. then use sound forge or cool edit to mess with the sound to make it to your liking.. then after you get some stuff together sequence the song in ACID. Once the track is complete... record it with the tape player and play it back into the computer. There you go :) |

7000? To get that sort of money I'd have to, like, work, and stuff. I'm talking between £100 and £500. |

A cheap keyboard could be good, not too sure about the tape recorder, though. |

Actually, forget that, $599 is too much. I might just by the cheapest keyboard money can buy. I was browsing randomly and found this shitty thing for £59 (£72 with a MIDI lead). If I did buy something as cheap as that, could I really make it sound decent by editing the sound. If so - how?! |

that would work fine... but as far as editing goes.... anything goes, get it? When you have filters anything is possible |
