Does anyone know what sort of equipment Richard D James uses? I was just woundering cos I need to get some decent equipment and I would like to know what Richard uses....I know its best not to use the same stuff as him cos its art and I should be using different stuff to create something different, but I need to think about what equipment I am going to get. :) Cheers 2 any1 who can help. :D |

First Off, what do you have allready, and Second, what do you wish to create with some new gear ? I suggest hardware, so many people are using software, but the best stuff is made on hardware and edited with software- So as far as Hardware is concerned you'll probally need a Synth to make musical sounds, and if you want a seperate drum module to get playing with, the drums in a synth while are ok, generally lack the feel of a drum machine. maybe youd like to actually play real drums and edit them in a software program, this is also good, but Im assuming that you want mostly Electronics so Ill tell you this, dont go for any flashy new release state of the art gimicky bullshit thing out there, I have 2 synths, A Newish digital midi Korg Synth with drums and all that which cost me $2000* and I also have a Old Analogue Korg Synth which cost me $300, and can you guess the one I use the most, you guessed it, the Old Analogue Mono Absolutely No Midi Synth, and I love it, sad thing is Im still paying for the synth I dont use much. And the moral of the story is, its not what youve got, its what you do with it that counts, a cheap $50 drum machine and an old synth in the hands of a creative person is a wonderful thing :) Hope this helps (*new zealand money of course) |

Start with something simple, you don't want to blow all your cash on getting hardcore synths and then d eciding a few months down the track that you don't really like doing music or whatever. Trust me, I know people who have made music for a few months and when they didn't get real good real quick they got pissed off and gave up. I recommend fruityloops, but ahh that's a bit predictable :) Rebirth is a kind of beginner tool, but I still love it and think it's really FUN to use, and Buzz can be a bit hardcore (as it's an actual tracker, I can';t remember whether it's hex or what but it's still a little more hardcore than FL to use in my eyes). |
