I forget how I started and it was only a few months ago. I have always pissed around with sounds though. |

started banging away at a roland sequencer back in 98, collected more gear since then, programming runs on a midi framework, yet basic sounds are still built on me old sequencers for the most part, dont use software or anything downloaded from the net really, except for songs to rip vocal samples from :] |

You only use hardware? |

A mate brought over a demo of the very first version of Acid and some sample loops from a magazine cover disc. About 6 months later the same guy gave me a cracked copy of rebirth. I then didn't do much music for about 2/3 years, but got back into it when I won a big box of ejay software in a music competition. Having already used acid, ejay seemed very limiting to me, so I dled floops which I found very intuitive. So began my "proper" music making. I now use all sorts of stuff, mainly floops, reason, Live and wave edit, but a whole host of plugins and vsts as well as other programs to make loops for use in the above programs. |

Used a little tracker for a couple or three years. Bought a sampler, an analog synth, and a digital 8-track, and that's all I use these days. Only use the computer for mastering/editing. |

That's cool. Good to know I'm not alone. :) |

my good friend, herbwest on this board, got a gig at a bar and he asked me for assistance as i had a similar interest in music. he showed me how to use DIgital performer on a Mac and we cut a bunch of tracks together mostly using his Korg X-5. we were an industrial duo called "the snakes are active" and we played a couple shows in the area. then a friend of his who was a rave promoter for "the new dawn collective" asked if we would like to cut some dancy toons so we did and played a few raves as Golgi Apparatus. Later, another friend of mine hooked me up with a pile of PC software including Acid and Soundforge and Floops. and i started cutting my own tracks. i have no hardware now except for a turntable and a mixer and a computer of course. |

started writing tunes when i was 14. Now 8 years later they kick ass. |

musically? wow, let's see....i started playin the piano when i was 8, though i kinda just wrote my own stuff. i did the same on the organ at age 9, & my brother & i would record silly stuff on a little tape recorder. at about age 12-13 i got a big ol' Yamaha keyboard (which i still have) and made my own tunes on it was well, even usin it for a garage band (which was crap, though i wasn't in charge =) ). i also did some experimental stuff with my brother usin that keyboard, various low-grade outputs and mixers, and guitar effects pedals. my brother also bought a TR-606 for $25 (!!!) and we played around with that as well. i wish it was still operational, but my brother has it but it is broken, but probably still within maintainability. at age 14-15 i found Stomper & CoolEdit and started making sounds on it, and then making whole songs with it. i have a CD with 5 songs on it and hopefully i can get them posted sometime. i then did a little bit on & off throughout my remaining high school years. and now i just recently picked it back up on my laptop and played around with the ever-popular FL and made a couple trax on it. that is my current method of writing music today, occasionally using the older programs (Stomper & CoolEdit). so that's the history of my music-writing. |

quite impressive - i played piano by 5 years and i can easily say that this improved my musical experience a lot !!! |

hey : little interuption . check out my next thread !!! ( then we wil back to discussion ) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah =) i guess the talents we get at an early age tell a little more about our directions in life. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yes, I played violin and sang in achoir as a child as well as starting to learn keyboard and guitar in my early teens. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as for me, i really didn't even listen to muisc untill i was in high-school. i mean i heard music, but i didn't actively pursue it untill i was about 16, when i had a car and cd player. i didn't start making toons untill i was about 20 or so. about 7 years ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i guess the early age thing doesn't necessarily apply to everybody. some people get a late start but still lead a bright musical path. |

Bizarrely I started making sounds in QBasic. Then I moved onto CakeWalk after a couple of years break. Cool Edit. Now I'm into Reason and loving it. If I don't just talk computers then I started with the Recorder. Then the Piano, then the trumpet then the guitar. |

Formed a dodgy teenage bedroom band with 2 pals called Tranquil Dreams.. ..then started songwriting proper on my own.. ..then joined a band at university who were called Bumper which I renamed All Round Icons after a Half Man Half Biscuit lyric.. ..then collaborated with some people.. ..lost interest in the song format and went into electronica, collage and weirdness.. ..then realized I have no future in music.. ..now I'm gonna eat an apple cos apples are good and consider my lack of a future :) |

Played guitar for years. Used to record mad experimental guitar music on my tascam 4 track. Then I got a Roland Mc_303 and made an entire album on that and my fourtrack and used tape loops from the radio etc. Some decent work, though the production was shoddy. No I mainly use software apart from my guitars and bass. Soundfonts are a good part of my repertoire. |

cool edit. all the way |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
started with floops three or four years ago (I don't even remember that short term, how sad), continued to use that until I switched to buzz maybe about a year ago that's it, I still suck |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
how do people make entire songs in cool edit? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a helluva lotta commitment. i can't even imagine making songs that way these days anymore ^_^ |

I started with a comb and some wax paper, saved my money and bought a Gibson original Lloyd Loar kazoo with mahogany sides and a spruce top. Last week I scored some vintage 1923 wax paper on ebay! |

You can take sounds and stretch them and add effects and shit. I made synth sounds with cool edit doing that and then pitched them. Stupid way to do it though :$ |

started playing guitar when i was 6 in late 1996-early 1997 (age 12/13) i started playing around with fasttracker2 from a pc format cover disc.. used that for a while, discovered acid, fl and rebirth but they didn't do anything for me so i went back to ft2.. then in late 2001 i started using buzz.. now i use buzz, reaktor, soundforge and some other stuff.. |

Was it by anychance called Mixman? I started with the windows wave editor. Then moved to tapedeck, then moved to cooledit then moved to Floops, and then just expanded around floops and cooledit with vsti and reaktor. |

|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
actaully I think it was just called "music" or something had this cool looking guy done in a similar design style to the napster logo in purple next thing I used was floops, which was a demo, so I had to do an entire track at once, they were crap, don't do music anymore |

played classical piano from 3rd grade on.... then took up violin, trumpet, clatinet, flute, guitar, drums, bass, turntables, and eventually, into programming where I make most of my music today... It's so nice to have classical theory under my belt :) |

I did a sound engineering course that was taught by members of Bailter Space(Flying Nun) Nick Roughan and Brent McLaughlin. I owned roto toms for a time and I like making music and videos on the Playstation One with Music 2000. I mainly leave the music making to flea... who started with a casio sk3 sampling keyboard, then he made music on a Commodore 64, then Amiga, after that he got tired of making electronic music, brought himself a bass and taught himself every musical instrument he could get his hands on, guitar, percussion, drums, etc etc. In America flea discovered the ensonique sampler keyboard. Now he uses a PC, and entirely software, now too many (every bit of freeware, shareware he can find) to mention but primarily Fruity Loops. |

i played guitar and sang in a band for about 9 years before our drummer bought a pc and got me into FT2. i played around with that for a few years, quit the band. started getting into fruity. now im using project5 with fruity as a vsti. havent made a song in a while though. |

Amiga 500 with Noisetracker 2.0 in 1991. Now it's all hardware and 128 channels of MIDI going out from my laptop and ESI M8U interface to the gear. -P |

when i was 13 i started with 4 tape decks, a mic, a tv, a radio and a crappy casio keyboard, vintage pipe organ trombone and a trumpet. i would basically record layers upon layers onto cassette and syncronise them all and make a master recording (horribly quality) i spent mose of 13-16 concentrating on playing brass for orchestras and brass bands. these recordings are some of my favorites, some horrible stuff, some truly disturbing stuff, and stuff i wish i could recreate now. at 16 i bought a 486 computer and i had some crappy beat sequencer that was pretty lame, couldnt really do too much else on a 486... so now my tape tracks had beats and not pots and pans. influenced by bands like NIN and The Cure, my tracks were depressing and industrial at 18 i bought my first pc... wrote using floops3 at 21 (now) i bought a newer pc, and a laptop... compose using logic6, flstudio, reason2 and many many other things... |

Nothing wrong with a 486, if you use it for MIDI. I did for a long time, with something called Cakewalk Apprentice. It stopped working when Windows 95 came out. I was using Windows 3.11 then. |
