Hi I want to play around making electronic music. I've had a sampler before so I'm familiar with the concept, but it seems like people aren't using as many keyboards synths anymore as much as just software. For example, what's the difference between Logic Pro and a synthesizer? I have a mac, do I need just software or do I need at least one keyboard for the recording. If I'm not ready to buy LP unseen, can I demo it, or better yet it and other software? I really don't know where to start to know what I need.
I need a sequencer, and synth, and effects, as far as I can tell. Eventually vocals, and multitrack but I think GarageBand is a multitrack. What's the cheapest and easiest way to get started with some synth sounds until I know what I need want? Thanks in advance. donWolf |

Cubase 4 is worth a look, too. Not perfect, but then none of them are. I've been a Logic user for 5 years and I still don't love it. Cubase seems a little friendlier. I, too, hear good reports of DP5. If all else fails, there's always Pro Tools

If all else fails, there's always Pro Tools "If all else fails, there's always Pro Tools?" Man, I don't get that. I have been a Pro Tools user since before it was called Pro Tools, and it is still the only way to fly, imho. It just gets better and better. Now, I'm not sure why I keep upgrading to more and more expensive TDM hardware versions, but I just love the power of all the plugins and real time audio processing. Still, even at the radio station where I work, the non-TDM version of Pro Tools seems to have all the capabilities of my big system--if you don't mind processing elements via AudioSuite. I just totally recommend Pro Tools over any other system (and I have tried them all, including evil Windows based software.) PC (pardon my initials) |
