Behn Humphrey from California US on 2001-08-12 23:08 [#00021345]

Iam going to be getting some hardcore equipment soon... lots
of shit. A friend and I are going to go into making music
together. Its exciting.


 

George from Japan on 2001-08-13 01:49 [#00021371]



fruityloops 3 is pretty good.


 

Geonime on 2001-08-13 01:52 [#00021373]



Fruityloops is for people who don't want to make music which
is good in any way.


 

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-08-13 02:04 [#00021374]



Everybody thinks that they are really hot shit but I bet
there's 10 people on this messageboard making better tunes
with Fruityloops and Reason for every one who talks shit
about the programs. He asked for the best music SOFTWARE,
maybe because he can't afford real equipment yet, or that's
how he wants to start out or whatever.
RDJ uses Recycle and he makes REAL good tunes.

Its about how the program/equipment is utilized not how
respected it is in the community or how much it costs.


 

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-08-13 02:11 [#00021377]



Oh, and in answer to your question:

MTV Music Generator is the best music software out there, as
everyone knows.

Software isn't that cool. You can only go so far. With the
shit that you buy. Remember, RDJ made or modified his
programs.


 

Dozer on 2001-08-13 03:02 [#00021384]



fuck that. what you use for making tunes doesn't have to
matter along as you are talented & creative. Doesn't Aphex
use strictly computers now? read the interviews, he praises
the use of audio software. You could have all the equipment
in the world and that wouldn't change how creative you are.


 

CUN8eR LASIT from LASiT on 2001-08-13 03:05 [#00021385]



Ah .. mind you - this was predominantly because of the
interface .. not the actual functionality of programmes such
as Cubase and Logic Audio ... as far as I know, RDJ was more
concerned with the restrictive interface of esp. Cubase,
which already sets one in a frame of mind, and thus
limits/restricts 100% creativity ? Software is becoming
increasingly powerful - and on the whole there is the
advantage of it being a lot cheaper. Sure, hardware
compressers and the like WILL be better, but starting off
might be a bit of an overkill - or so I think anyway ...

"ProTools is the main thing for me, and that's written by
someone else. That's the best tool for me" RDJ



 

rob fragilenine from tafe on 2001-08-13 04:52 [#00021394]



Plenty of people make music with fruityloops, and it still
sounds good, for example orangedust... I use it every now
and then, but it's hard to get used to after using
fasttracker for so long (about 5 years now) and nothing
works good on my pc so I cant use TS404, effects, etc...
plus I only have the shareware version...


 

od from perth on 2001-08-13 04:55 [#00021395]



FL's name is wack
but everythign else rocks
ppl bag it coz its easy to use and has a sht name.
if you have an imagination you can do whatever you want with
it.


 

Baron Von Picklefoot from The Baron Got a new computer !!!! on 2001-08-13 07:46 [#00021422]



I don't like using computers for music I like the feeling of
a machine much better then using a fucking mouse to do
everything.Anyway computers are bad they make me wanna
dance!THE BARON HAS SPOKEN!!!!!


 

Behn from California US on 2001-08-13 09:30 [#00021444]



hmmm.... goot... goot.... speak lil monkey people!!! um...
yah... i can NOT afford scads of hardware.... software is
free... (untill you can afford to buy it)...

What i was actually curious about was do most people like to
drop stuff into soft-sequencers like logic ? What's
everybody's preferred interface ? I learned midi and audio
sequencing on a mac using Opcode Vision *crys like a little
bitch at the demise of the once-noble software* and i just
got a pc fast enough to run real software....

fruitloopers is a'ight... cept you can't really write stuff
in it... just loop samples... and the steady bpm feature
sorta sucks doody....

*giggles at the massive amount of responces*

must go masturbate over alllll this nubby input....

groove.


 

map[warp/rephlex-aholic] from CH - Mulligan on 2001-08-13 09:40 [#00021445]



don't much about logic, but i use cubase and it's a bitch to
learn, but the best soft seq. i've ever used. so i prefer
hardware, cuz i need the knobs triggers and faders, if you
work only on the pc's, you would be a perfectonist....so on
live events, hardware is the shit !

bad english i know


 

Matt. from ----- on 2001-08-13 11:00 [#00021460]



I use lots of software. But i am trying to combine it all
with hardware stuff, mostly cheaper stuff.


 

Sound Assassin from Patent Office UK on 2001-08-13 11:11 [#00021462]



Cool edit pro, Soundforge, Wavelab are all excellent
packages, you can go on editing/sampling till you grow a big
grey beard and die!

Cubase does have some nice EQs (if you wanna replace having
mixing desk)

Having hardware is always a bonus, especially for real time
knob twidling in particular for live situations.

For making your first trax, and producing them with in an
each of their lives, computers kick ass.

Rock on.


 

Dirty Priest from Denmark on 2001-08-13 16:56 [#00021523]



I have a variety of software and i belive i can make
absolutely anything i want with it! endless possibilities
try getting the demo of fruityloops 3.

and then cooledit pro with 4 track recording. and the
program "hammer" is freeware. and just go check out

www.hitsquad.com

hope this helps ==)))


 

Dirty Priest from Denmark on 2001-08-13 16:59 [#00021524]



Oh and steady bpm in fruityloops?

have you tryed right clicking on the bpm counter and editing
"Events". that would shut your mouth! all knobs in fruity
can be timed .... just so you know.


 

Craig David from all over your Boink on 2001-08-13 17:23 [#00021526]



Does anyone remember Henry Cosh Accompaniest on the Atari
ST? It was the most deranged sequencer ever, it didn't do
what you asked, it puts things in random order, and it
generally fucked with your head... but it was brilliant. If
anyone has an ST out there, download it off the web, it's a
right laugh.
