starting out..
 

dumb_wanker on 2001-10-08 16:02 [#00039479]



ok people.. i\'m just starting out, so i\'d like to know
what basic stuff i should get.. ya know.. samplers, synths,
and the like. if you could, give me the names of some good
brands that won\'t break for a while..

can you help me out?

Are you just gonna go on a gear shopping spree? Are you
independantly wealthy. It takes me months to come up with
the moneh to buy just a piece (of course I only work part
time). What kind of shit are you looking to get?

I agree with relflex.

If you don't have any money, I'd say probably the best thing
to do would be searching the internet for lots of different
cracked programs or shareware/freeware, and get as many as
you can and see what works and what you like.

How about a Roland MC303
They're pretty cheap - about 250 pounds sterling new, even
cheaper s/h, and a good intro to hands on knob twiddling :)

Why not get the new yamaha RM series (with sampling
capabilities) .. or so .. the one after RM-1X - which
incidentally my flatmate has got [i think i have been over
this before] -- but it is a very nice machine, gets rave
reviews all over the show. 505 is pretty old school also !
-- i mean, I wouldn't complain if it turned up on my
doorstep .. I'd be stoked . but these other machines seem
pretty tops also .

Sweet .. didn't realise people had such an aversion to
Yamaha - thats all I guess. Yeah Korg is the shit also .

The only hardware I have is a Roland PC-300 keyboard, keeps
me happy -- I'm one of those Software junkies I guess. :)
Hardwarez cool.

Yeah .. mc505 is quite impressive, a reasonable size also,
with plenty of buttons and knobs and shit to do .. > be
keen to hear some of this polished off stuff: granted that
it takes a while to get the hang of, etc. etc.

:)
