ive been looking into sound apps lately and trying to use demos dl'ing manuals and what not and had a couple of questions as i am now ready to spend a little bit of money.
first off, reason seems a little easier then the rest to use but it also looks as though it may be an inferior product to some of the others. basically what would be a good package of software for me to get to get going. i am looking into making idm/breakbeats/mostly electronic, maybe some voiceovers everyonce in awhile but strictly electronic music. im thinking more into logic or digital performer as ive heard good things (protools looks a little tough to me) but im not exactly sure what they are in the broad scheme of things (as you see i need help) logic seems like it is a favorite among people that arent into protools, but i could be wrong. second, i want to buy a keyboard. i am not so concerned with with the sounds that may come on it but i also have NO knowledge of keyboards at all. i was looking at usb keyboards from midiman but those seem like they could be huge pieces of crap. what is the best under 500 dollar way to go to get a keyboard into my computer with good sound quality. those are basically my only questions right now, but there is one more thing. it is important to me that i get something decent even if it costs a little more than i expect. granted i am just learning but how do i expect to be happy with progress if i hear a bunch of hissing and static. plus im not really into going into things buying a bunch of shit. so please give me a hand. im not looking into becoming a professional but i would like to have something that sounds good. thank you. |

okay so ive decided to get a midi controller for now (thats basically a keyboard with no sounds, right?)
ive heard a few problems about the roland pc-300 and reason so im kinda shying away from that. i like the keyboard that silverlode posted because it looks like something that would be really helpful in conjunction with reason because it has so many knobs. can anyone offer me a couple more suggestions similar to that. ive been looking at the yamaha cbxk2 here is a link. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=02...l/base_id/37633 it doesn't seem to have as many knobs but it says it has remote control functions. can someone enlighten me and tell me what these are? are these like having knobs that i can alter? thanks for the information, i dont know how i would make a decision without you guys. |
