Berk Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Reason is the best DAW to start with I reckon, but I'd also recommend doing a search first there are lots of topics on this subject I'm sure Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Berk's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/43663-i-want-to-make-music/#findComment-981153 Share on other sites More sharing options...

karmakramer Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I want to make music not on the computer but with just synths etc... analogue shit... I am bored out of my mind learning new software programs... using the same shitty samples... Anyone know of good (somewhat affordable) synths, keyboards, drum machines, etc... that would be a good place to start?

Guest JohnTqs Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 @ karma check out the Roland SH-201, relatively cheap synth "built with beginners in mind" Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/43663-i-want-to-make-music/#findComment-981193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spraaaa Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) one thing you could do is look on local listings (newspapers, craigslist), or ebay, see what's cheap, and then look up the features, manual, etc on vintage synth explorer and see if it would be a good fit for you. you can always sell it for the same price if you get it used. however it's easier to understand the features if you've already been doing things with software... so maybe just search this forum a bit. also, make your own shitty samples! even if you use a cellphone or computer's internal microphone you just need some eq and you'll get something useable.

MAXIMUS MISCHIEF Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 i also am interested in making music without a computer.. i am thinking about getting some cool synths and samplers and use my guitar with it all together and only use the computer to put it together and add finishing touches and such. i will check out that roland synth and i will look at more as well. what can i use to make cool 'idmish' beats? i was thinking about a roland sp 555 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide MAXIMUS MISCHIEF's signature Hide all signatures official sup barnstar of coolness Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/43663-i-want-to-make-music/#findComment-981236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXIMUS MISCHIEF Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 i also have a question what is the difference between synthesizers? what are the main things that make a synth sound different than another one?

autopilot Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Just put a microphone in a coffee can full of marbles. Then, jam out on your guitar and occasionally kick the can around.

BCM Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 MAXIMUS MISCHIEF said: i also have a question what is the difference between synthesizers? what are the main things that make a synth sound different than another one? it used to be the electronic components and their configuration inside the synth determined their sound. now it's either what samples the synth comes loaded with or how the DSP chip has been programmed. you have different types of synthesis (or computer chips that emulate different types of synthesis) - subtractive, additive, FM, phase distortion, linear algorithmic - loads. get some books or read up on line to find out more about how they make sound and the different qualities of each synthesis type.

If you are a total electronic music noob hardware will more than likely leave you feeling beaten and burned out. Software is a great place to learn the basics, since there is no investment needed, and the abundance of help out there.

thehauntingsoul Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 yea especially use reason if you are planning on switching to hardware. I don't use hardware at all yet but reason is laid out visually to give you an idea of how the units would hook up in real life, how to route cv cables, and all that jazz.

MAXIMUS MISCHIEF Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 me too haha good advice gentlemen but i have made computer music before and it doesn't really give me enjoyment like i imagine touching real devices would. does anyone know if the sp 555 is any good? i was thinking of starting with that and a mixer and maybe that roland sh 201. is there anything better for sampling/making beats?
