What's My Best Bet?, Mixing and producing songs Options

[Groove75]

Looking for some advice into which software I could use to create tracks... Let me explain, I love club music, remixes, house, techno name it.

Got a Mac, good monitors, and tons of energy to play and create kick ass tunes, but I have no idea where to begin?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Groove75, need more info than "Got a Mac", which one?

Another important question, do you play an instrument? Keyboard would be best.

If you have a New Mac I would follow mortalengines advice and play with GarageBand.

If you "Love club music, remixes, house, techno" I would follow the advice given by ronaldl Reason is what House DJ's use Internationally.

My advice. Since most of the music created on computers is MIDI. Get MIDI Keyboard. Size and price depends on your budget, however, consult soundonsound.com for reviews BEFORE you buy ANYTHING. You should also invest in an Interface. It's a Unit which helps transfer signals. Most try to get around this Interface but, you will be better with it than with out. Again, soundonsound.com for Review.

There are plenty of Free Piano Lessons, but if you "Love club music, remixes, house, techno" it won't matter if you can play or not, it becomes the art of manipulating samples, loops and thangs... with time, luck or skill the world is yours.

All the best, your life is about to change forever, in a good way.... Do expect technical issues, we all went and go through them. Tech issues are a small price to pay when you think of the years of pleasure and creativity at your disposal. You can just have fun or make ten million dollars with an idea.

You can't go wrong purchasing an External Hard Drive.

Go Grasshopper Live, Laugh, Love and never, ever, steal music. Om........ Oh, yeah, no guitar hiss. Go DI... What I gotta explain everything??? Google DI Direct In, if you play guitar. Eliminates need for an Amp and Microphone.

Most important... Have Fun
