the best single piece of advice I can give is to not spend too much money before you've tried the midi keyboard+reason approach first. You don't even need to use reason, there are other programs available, but before you spend 2000 dollars on synths and assorted hardware like I did, try some software stuff first to see if you really want to spend that much. |

Unless you already know hardware is what you want to use. Its easier to go from hardware to software than vice versa. |

Do an oscilisk and buy a load, get nowhere, then sell it at a loss. |

That is everyone who buys gear expecting it to have a magic button. Well, practically everyone who buys gear and doesn't turn a profit on it. I lost at least 1k last year on my gear, but that is because I generally like to buy new. |

I agree, but I think learning on hardware might be such a steep learning curve for some that they're put off. I suppose this is offset by a greater commitment because you've spent big bucks on it. Personally, I found using Reason was a good tutorial for the concepts of using hardware. |

I am reserved against suggesting a computer to people, because learning an instrument isn't supposed to be easy, its supposed to be a challenge. Not saying that it should be hard for the sake of it being hard, if you dull all the edges before a person learns, they have nothing to sharpen their teeth on. Learning on computer is an unmusical way to learn how to make music, and generally only leads to people making pads in absynth with minimal beats underneath. I think most of the new IDM would be a lot more interesting if reason and native instruments never existed. |
