Hey everybody,
I'm brand new here, but I've read some things from Trance Addict on/off over the years, but I heard this forum was a really cool community. So, first I'd just like to say hello to everyone.
I absolutely love Trance, and Hardstyle comes in as a close second, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips for someone who is wanting to get into producing music. I'm only 20, going on 21 by next month, but I've been an avid fan of Trance for nearly 8 years now and I can hardly wait to try making my own songs some day.
My questions are:
What's some good equipment for a complete beginner who doesn't have too much money to spend?
I've heard a lot about Fruity Loops software, is it as good as I hear it is?
Do any of you produce your own music? What did you do to get started?
Do any of you live in Maryland, USA?
I'm just looking for tips and help at the moment.
Thanks & Peace |

welcome! first off, you might want to try asking here:
http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...p?s=&forumid=48
that is the official producers forum, this forum is for discussing music, not producing/dj'ing
i'll just briefly go over some of your questions, but you'll have better answers in the forum i linked you above -
1. all you really need, to start producing music (and pretty much even if you're years experienced) is a midi keyboard, an external sound-card, and a good pair of studio monitoring speakers
2. i started out with fl, it's a great piece of software, but what you use greatly depends on your level of comfort within the software. you may like fl studio, you may dislike it. there is a handful of music production software out there
3. yes. fl studio, hopped platforms several, several times before i got perfectly comfortable with ableton/logic
4. no :p
tip:
don't buy without researching and asking around first, i made this mistake a few times when i started out |
