Can anyone recomment something a complete newbie could use
to make music? I want something maybe to learn on, but I
don't want one of those shitty cartoon things, I want one to
make decent choons on when I learn...any suggestions?? (i'm
on windows 2000 is that makes any difference)

more time you spend on them the more you learn. Its alllll
trial and error buddy

I really recommend Sonic Syndicates Orion Pro, its the nuts
and easy to use (and low cpu usage)

morpheus or any other file sharing program

Yeah... fruityloops is prolly the most circulated cracked
program out there.

Ironically its also one of the cheapes programs out there.

Spoonz... if you looking for something cheap/free, and don't
want to stoop to our level you could always just use buzz.

stoop to your level?? i dont understand...

wht are the chances that I'll get a virus when I open my
Fruity Loops 3.4 from KaZaA?

i tried orion pro and it crashed my computer
continuously....

...i used fruityloops 3.4 and Cool Edit Pro to sequence...
floops is good for its simplicity and versatility -- you can
just loop shit without using the piano roll, or you can go
in and individually programme everything, which i do - with
satisfying results :)

what!?! trance? no...only if you want to make trance. its
got a sampler and a drum macine for your own samples so I
think just those 2 things mean it isn't limited to trance,
and the synths have plenty of effects...sure its marketed
towards trance but only if you want to be lazy

stable compared to some soft synths :P

I use Fruityloops... or USED to, anyway! I haven't touched
it in like two months, I have no idea why... I really have
to start doing something with it, I need something to keep
me busy this summer! Bah.

orion is good but im having problems with it sending program
change messages(or rather NOT sending)

fruityloops is a beautiful toy that can be put to pro use.
always fun.

dreamstation is a must. no soft synth beats it out there but
better not used as an only item in your arsonal. ive got
fruityloops, cool edit, cakewalk sonar, cubase and a bunch
of other top quality programs but i actually paid for
dreamstation cause i couldnt find it on the web and i really
wanted it.

get fruityloops and cool edit pro you can do just about
anything with that combo.

then later see if you can find the native waves gold pack
plug ins.

look on soulseek they have all of this.

yeah...you can get pretty much any software for free...
but i only use ones that are free anyways..
like tuareg and sawcutter..both have free versions which
have been working fine for me

Get a SAMPLER(emu, akai, ensoniq, roland). Hardware is
better In my opinion. The EMU ESI 4000 would be perfect its
cheap but it does alot cool sampler.
Because your online i assume you own your own computer.
Native instruments has some really good Software, REAKTOR &
BATTERY, you have to have a pentium III. Some others:
cubase VST, protools, rebirth, reason, cakewalk.

why is a hardware sampler better? have you seen Kontakt yet?


 

offline JivverDicker from my house on 2002-05-14 01:13 [#00218548]
Points: 12102 Status: Regular



Kontakt is cool but it's software representation of the
Roland VP9000 with filters.

I find it nice to have dedicated outboard stuff just so you
focus on the job at hand, not really samplers but drum
machines and synths can be more expressive when played
'live'

Points: 1169 Status: Lurker



I agree with synths/drum machines, but I really think
software samplers are better, who has time to edit on a tiny
LCD display when you could be using your entire monitor?

Points: 12102 Status: Regular



I allways use my computer for editing samples but I still
use an EMU E4X for playing them, it's probably just habit
really, but there is about 30 filters so everything is
really seperated before I try and mix the beast! I've got
the VP 9000 but I hardly ever use it 'cos it's time
consuming messing about with the little screen and then I've
lost my funk!
