I am interested in creating music and would love to start creating more again. However, I don't have much software. I am mostly interested in electronic music, and don't really see the possibility of the need to use real instruments. Therefore, can anyone recommend a decent starting point. I have heard of a software program called Reason. Would this be seen as the best piece of software for an electronically focused musician ?
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. |

QUOTE (rickenbacker @ Dec 14 2002, 06:50) Turns out you can't use ReWire in OS X. Hm... I don't claim to be an expert here, but this Steinberg rep must be lying to you, cuz I can have my Live and Reason (both OS X version) talk to each other via ReWire. I could record my Reason sequence to Live flawlessly via ReWire, without going through lame export and import. Do you know if that rep happened to be a marketing guy or a customer support? I never trust either of them... On the contrary, it is true that Logic and Cubase are not yet ReWire compatible. I imagine it takes a long time for the code to be re-written in order for ReWire to work under OS X. But I think emagic people are working on it. As for Steinberg, I don't believe what they say anymore after realizing that they are still pushing for ASIO and VST even though Apple, as a way of showing their dedication to the music industry, has given us wonderful CoreAudio and Audio Units. Sorry, I guess this was off topic, but couldn't help. |
