analoq Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Read the first post of this thread. Ostensibly his look thru the guides is what prompted this thread in the first place. Unrelated: Only thing that bothers me is the Price O.O Like, Wow. 200-400$ is it really worth it?Yes, because making music has never been so cheap in the entire history of mankind. Just wanted to quote this, it's an important point that many people seem to not realize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrototypeRaptor Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I don't quite understand this. Do you mean to say that creating music has always been expensive? I assume the reasoning is that now you can use computers to make synthesized stuff, rather than paying a full orchestra or band to even hear what your music sounds like. I mean, in bach's day if you wrote music you either imagined how the music would sound when played by instruments or hired them to do so, right? Plus most of the great composers went to music conservatories, etc. It makes me feel better about spending so much on hardware by looking at it like that...ha I'd second the FL recommendation...it really has gotten a lot better since the days of fl 4 and I personally like the workflow much better than reason or cubase. Really, though, when you are first starting out, you just need to practice. Like an instrument, composition needs to be worked up; it's not instantaneous. You're developing your ear...you don't need Pro Tools for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd see if you're actually interested in remixing before blowing any cash in a soundcard or even headphones, personally I'm using a stock soundcard and some crappy consumer phones and I haven't minded one bit, I'm not yet at the skill level where it makes any difference yet, so if you're just starting I would worry about getting started and getting a DAW a lot more than headphones and such, you can buy those later.

I used to play bass a little bit. I have always been interested in music, I am VERY interested. reason being, i can affored the equipment right now, Intel and Nvidia are comming out with new lines. so I am putting my PC on wait. on that note. Remixing is something i can really get into. btw, i dont know what a DAW is ;] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoozer Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 btw, i dont know what a DAW is ;] Any time you don't know what it means, throw it in Wikipedia's search function and see what matches it the best. Do this every time and you see your stack of questions melt down to the interesting ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
