Beginner Producer, Soft/Hardware combinations
Beginner Producer, Soft/Hardware combinations Posted on: 18.11.2009 by Lorrine Eckstein Im very eager to start producing music / mash ups (drum & bass, Dubstep, Fidget House)... I like the idea of having hands on gear to produce, rather then tedious tweaking on the computer... though I know at some point I will need to get used to this... I came across the Akai mpc500 on youtube, and seems really interesting, especially as it looks like I'd be able to start putting stuff together relatively quickly... I aslo found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKHNf...eature=related - really liking the tune this guy is kicking on the microkorg & mpc I'm looking for a set up not only for producing but possibly live performances aswel. Also I've just bought a copy of ableton lite 7 to get a taster of what it offers for producing. Any help, advise & suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Cutta | |

| Ashirumatic DJ 17.11.2009 | Best advice I would give you is to find a Midi Keyboard you would like to get. M-Audio, Korg, Berhinger, etc.... have many options out there. If you search this community there is a few discussions on that topic. Then choose your DAW that you would like to work in. Once again there are many choices here. Names include: Ardour, Logic, Ableton, Reaper, Pro Tools, Adobe Audition, Fl Studio, Sony Acid, Cubase etc.. and they come in various OS compatible flavours. Best place to start finding tips and tricks is on youtube. good example of a simple studio is ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQSER4QsrPg |
