YES! Thank you. Let me devour this... And guy, by the way. Joe.

Thanks Dusk, but that's kind of what I was talking about. Those links assume I already have a base knowledge of what a sample is, how to put it in recording software, and all that stuff. Maybe I'm trying to start doing something that is so out of my league that I need professional education? I guess what I'm looking for is someone to start by saying, "Hey, if you want to make sweet remixes like djpretzl, first you need a piece of software like cakewalk or cubase...then you need...oh and you also need...then when you have that you can...." etc.

Hey guys, First post on OCRemix's forums. Nice to meet you all. I'm an experienced musician with some homegrown recording experience...I have Cubase and can lay down a track and make it sound pretty, mostly through stumbling around and feeling around what's right. But I've never done any kind of synthetic music before and I'm not sure where to start. I've looked around the tutorial pages here, but a lot of them seem to be geared toward people who already have a good idea what they're doing. Personally, I'm totally confused as to what kind of stuff I need in order to start making music. I have questions like: What's a patch? What's a soundfont? etc. Anyway, if there's a link I'm missing that will help me out, please do point me in that direction. The last thing I want is a repetitive noob post. Thanks PN
