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, you seem well on your way. Yes, Reason has limitations, but if I recall you mentioned house type music. No mention, still if you can play or not, it is an important question if you CAN play it is great, but with house type music it does not matter if you have a musical note or not in your body. It is the Art Of Manipulation and know what sounds are available. That takes time. Or you just might get lucky and stumble across a nice combination. However, it is no different than what 50 Thousand or more users have. So don't think you are fooling any one with your great sound, we all been there and done that, if you can take those sounds and play well, you might get some of us to take notice.

So again, Do You Play? Just because you have a Radium 49 does not answer if you can play it or not. I have a big ass KURZWEIL K2500X I have to take out the Hand Book to turn it on, no I can't play it. It's in the Studio for those who can. It's good that you have an Interface, however, I think I have seen many Posts with M-Audio FireWire 410 issues. I might be wrong but the name M-Audio FireWire 410 rings a bell.

Korg Kaoss Pad absoluteely Rocks and is ideal for your house thang.

You can Google Free MIDI Diagrams. If you really suck at setting up, pay someone to set it up. When you see how easy it is and how much you paid you will learn and remember. Have them make a diagram and get colored tape, red, blue, yellow, green, black, white. Should last you forever and will save you hours when looking behind the scenes.
