  1. I thank you two, a lot. You guys rock!

    And when I tried FL, no, it wasn't really that I was trying to mimic anything... I was trying to play around with it, before I had even found out about this (or video game music remixes in general, or zircon, for that matter). That was my problem, I guess, was that I just couldn't figure out what buttons did what. Sometimes, I'd remember, and go "yay sound", others I'd push a button and it would just fart in my face (figure of speech).

    But thank you, I hope to find a good inexpensive keyboard soon, and will hopefully get to play around a lot. :D

  2. Your words are not harsh at all, in fact it would probably be well put to say that this thread should be closed. It's true I'm a newbie at this, but I fully admit I went around this the wrong way. If I have an actual, full-fledged question for which I cannot find an answer, then maybe I'll start a new thread. Till then, I'll be sure to get a keyboard and cable for my comp. Keeping quiet...

    Before I forget though, can you play a MIDI keyboard through the computer without one of the music creation programs?

  3. Actually, in answer to what Skyrpnyk said, I did use FL for a good five or six hours and couldn't figure out what to do. Granted, I used the demo version, but I looked through the manual as well, and... yeah.

    I'm doing my best to have patience, that's why I'm still looking for a program to use. Trying to decide between Reason and Acid.

    Anyone know where cheap MIDI keyboards can be found?

  4. I'm looking out for a keyboard now, and am open to suggestions as to good ones. With FL, the interface just likes to mess with my head and I forget where stuff is, and it drives me insane. Finale is slightly better, except that I'm not quite professionalized in knowing what sounds any good.

    I am very sad... :P

    But I'm willing to do what it takes, just need to know where to start.

    P.S. Don't tempt me to try quartets, because they will clash like hell... Gah.

  5. Alright, then, lemme see.

    -In terms of what I have, only a computer at this point.

    -I do play the trombone and used to play a little piano.

    -Willing to spend... um... an extremely low amount at this point.

    -I haven't quite thought of the direction yet, more aiming towards sounding like a live techno/orchestra/rock type thing.

    As a side note, I am aware its not going to be easy. I looked far and wide for as much info as possible before finally admitting defeat and asking the question. I'll be more specific in the future. Right now, I am still open to suggestions on what to do.

    P.S. Tried to use FL Studio, but it was difficult to figure out how the heck to start anything.
