braciole Posted November 24 Report Share Posted November 24 I am not that good with computers but I really want to start making my own music. Can someone please let me know where to start?? Like which program is good but not to difficult for a beginner, and I keep seeing people talk about sound cards. Do I need one of those also??Any help would be appreciated, Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdeanmasi Posted November 26 Report Share Posted November 26 My opinion... Get Acid (made by Sony). Get just the program and 1 or 2 Sony / Sonic Foundry loop discs for sounds. Start with that 1st. It's that simple. You will learn song arrangment. This program has plenty of plug-ins for tweaking, eq-ing, & altering all of your sounds. Before you start worrying about midi, analog modules, keyboards, processors and shit, you need to start trying basic song arrangment just to see if you will actually like doing this and also to see if you will get the hang of it. That's the key. Fuck the bullshit that other kats will tell you!!! Trust me. Let me know. I'm more than willing to help. It's very confusing and there are a lot of different ways to go. Chose one to start.Also, it wouldn't hurt to get Sound Forge as well. Sound Forge is an editing software program that works hand and hand with Acid. Also made by Sony. Very necessary. I live by these 2 programs.It's not about what you use... It's about what you do with what you use. The program doesn't make the man... The man makes the man!!!I'm out. That's Dean's drunking Thanksgiving philosophy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdeanmasi Posted November 26 Report Share Posted November 26 P.S..... This is a very cheap way to start out. You wont need an expensive sound card to do this either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
