  1. Thanks for the advice everyone, I went into the local music store today, and I ended up picking up an M-Audio Midi Controller, a Tascam Audio Interface, and Sonor cakewalk 7 Studio. Overall Im pretty happy with all of it, and it runs very smoothly on my laptop, which is nice. Thanks again, I look foreward to getting the opportunity to work with some of you !
  2. Okay well Ill try and go down the list on this one, thanks btw for the advice, very helpful Yes, I have heard what you mentioned before, of course, as I said, I havent spent a lot of time working with any particular program yet, so if some thinks that there is a definitively better program to switch to, I am all ears. Im not really opposed to practicing all the time with a computer screen in front of me. Okay, so my backround in music is that Ive been playing guitar for close to 9 years now, 8 of them I studied at the royal canadian conservatory, and in the last 4 years Ive been studying classical guitar. I play at a grade 6 level in classical, and have just over a grade 2 understanding of theory. Ive played electric bass for 3 bands that have gigged locally. Ive also been fiddling with keyboards since I was old enough to try and wake my parents up in the morning, as they had a keyboard in the room and thats what I was allowed to do when they didnt wanna get up. I also took violin for about a year, vocal lessons for about a year, Drum lessons for 2 years, and Ive been a huge gear nerd for the last 2 years. I have experience playing classical,acoustic,bass and electric guitars, Mandolin, Violin, Organ, Keyboard, Piano, Drums, and singing. My musical influences in general are typically Progressive Rock, Trance, Classical, and Easy Listening. I hope that helps, Thanks so much guys.
  3. Its hard to say what I want to do musically, I guess the idea is to incorperate mostly Trance and Symphony music into some of my fav video game tunes. Im sure the more I get into it, the more ideas and the more creatively aware Ill become, but for now Im very foreign to using Software and MIDI to remix and compose, actually, Im pretty new to Remixing in general as well, Ive listened to a fair bit of remixing, but its still something Im not entirely familiar with. Thanks for the Reply !
  4. Hey everyone, I just signed up onto this sight tonight, although Ive been listening to your remixes for about a year now, and Im very excited to say that I feel like music has lead me to attempt to do a few remixes myself. Before I get started however, Id like to ask everyone their opinions on what would work best with regards to what I should select for gear. Money isnt an issue, and after looking at a few posts, Ive noticed that a few of you use FL Studio or Reason to do these remixes, conveniently, I have both . My main conflict with regards to how I want to go about getting some gear is weither I should buy a really nice Keyboard with a lot of nice samples, so I can just use a USB input into my laptop and record on Reason or FL from there, or if I should with something more software or recording related. Of course, this is also a good time to ask everyone what they personally use to write their remixes, and what they have used in the past. Its a pleasure to finally be signed onto this site, and I hope to get to know all of you eventually, Jesse
