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 (ryosode @ Dec 17 2002, 20:33) Yes as Rickenbacker mentioned Edirol (Roland in Japan) PCR-30 and PCR-50 are very very cool keyboards. If they had these out before Oxygen 8, I probably bought one. They sell as PCR-30 and PCR-50 in Japan as well. http://www.roland.co.jp/products/dtm/PCR-50.html Soo, between the two Edirol models and Radium, which would you get? Also, Ryosode, is hardware like the above cheaper in Japan or the US? What is the best place to buy in Tokyo? Arigato, charlie |
