TopicPosted on 10/08/2006 at 13:48:54Getting started, some questions
I am extremely interested in making music with my computer and had some questions. I've made some simple drum beats in Reason and FL, but beyond that I am clueless. I know nothing about sequencing or things like that. I was considering purchasing a MIDI keyboard (the M-Audio Axiom 25) to try to get more indepth, hands on knowledge. Is this the right choice? I like that it has the 8 drum pads (i'm a drummer and find that play out beats with my fingers/hand is a lot easier than cueing it in with a mouse). Also, as a beginning, what is the best program to start with for creating tracks, FL, Reason or Ableton, or something else? Can anyone recommend any good books/websites to check out or is the best advice really to just buy a MIDI keyboard and spend hours in a program messing around? Thanks.
