Im lookin for a bit of advice on what kind of equiptment to get to make tunes with, I had a mc-303grovebox but the memory was pretty small, so I got rid of it, bad move. I dont have a heap of money to spend, i would like to try it, ive been big into electronic music for years and i think its time to have a go |

if youve got to use software dont use fruity loops for gods sake, it might just be me, but its over hyped and it sounds Way too cheesy, fine if thats what you want. Id suggest hardware, there are too many people making electronic music without hardware, and you can usually tell who they are when you hear them, I say get a cool analogue synth, and some effects racks and a drum machine. I have two synths, both Korg's, and analogue with absolutely no midi :) and a newer midi controlled synth/workstation that fucks up with my midi setup, I hate midi >: ( but I tell you this, you can get some wicked sounds with a old analogue, Mono synth if your willing to play around with them, and thats where the fun is. |

glitch, i think your view of fruity is a little narrow-minded. all of my tracks have been made there (and yes, some of them are shite) and i think theyre pretty solid. dont get me wrong, fruity is extremely limiting, but in the right hands(not necessarily mine :) you can do some cool shit. i wouldnt mind going external either...but alas, software is free, and hardware most certainly isnt. |

Once you have the right equiptment to produce and record your music, try bying either a sitar or hurdy-gurdy. Their sounds are really wonderful. |

right now i have an mc303, an hr16 drummachine coming in. then i'll buy a tr707 drummachine, probably an ms1 sampler. i'd like to get a tg33 module and rs09 synth and another keyboard synth of some sort. |

Hey what is wrong with fruity loops. I find that some nice sounds can be generated from this programme as long as you put the correct samples in. See ya |

get a Yamaha SU10 sampler and a Roland CR8000, i picked them up for £150, ancient but more than do the job, also stick the drum machine through some guitar effect pedals. you can pick them up for pennies. |

yeah, i think that software sucks, the real skill is making them on synths and modules. i want a JP8000, that has so much shit on it...... |

I use FruityLoops 3 a lot to make some of my shit. Of course I am not at all satisfied with most of my work. Then I bought a Korg MS-2000 Analog Synthesizer, and it's really good. Now I'm also going to get another analog synth plus a drum machine; along with some other sound modulating hardware devices. I'm also going to use FruityLoops 3 to generate some cool sounds, and nice symphonic scales. All in all I would say that if you use a combination of hardware/software you'll have a good studio set up. Anyway, good luck in all of your musical ventures. By the way, I also got a CD full of sound appz, gonna be sweet. |

fruityloops is good for making beat and sound patterns. it also comes with an array of sounds that one can fuck around with, and make some unique shit. but fruitloops sucks for mixing. if you use acid or cooledit for mixing your work that would be your best bet. |

I would definately have to agree with phiz on the use of old guitar pedals for your drum machine, most of the big guitar companies put out tons of cheap pedals and effect racks for guitar. when glam rock went the way of the dodo they stopped making alot of them, but if you shop around in second hand shops you can still find them, they are easy to use and if you know anything about electronics you can experiment and improve em, also theyre made to be used with your feet and it frees up the hands, you can preset 6 or 7 sounds and still have your hans free, just a suggestion |

i know about the pedals, but i was wondering what other external effects there are to get. i like things with knobs and sliders, but not modules or rackmounted effects processors. any good ideas? |
