Hi, everyone!
I'm new to remixing, and any sort of arranging, and I need several sorts of answers, from the experienced.
First, computers:
What is the most powerful/most encompasing program for doing arrangements? I'm pretty sure it's either Cakewalk or Cubase, but I'm foolishly going by price.
Then music:
What has been the most helpful thing in your live/career as far as learning musical skills and such? I find myself still as tonedeaf as your average joe when it comes to songs, which is sad, because I love music so much, and I would hate myself if I never learned how to create.
So far, I play guitar, and I know chords and notes, and I'm learning scales, but I don't know how much of my guitar mastery will translate into universal music skills.
Also, I've obtained copies of The Perfect Pitch Supercourse and The Relative Pitch Supercourse. How relevant do you think these would be?
In any case, aside from the software-oriented question, I really need to know where I should be looking to get a hand on all of this stuff. I really want to create music, but I'm so far off it's almost frightening.
Thank you so much for your time!
