classical music won't help you out that much unless you've studied it at a certain level which i given your age i don't think you have.
ANyways, besides the point. I just found it somewhat humorous. At all cost if that cost doesn't include finding out on my own. |
Well youre clearly one of two things, either illiterate or mentally challenged, which is cool by me, but don't come here trying to look slick when I already stated I've looked this all up before, but no one was really commenting on the sound quality of FL Studio so thats why I asked.
As for my age, I've been in the National Youth Orchestra of Canada for four years, and have been playing piano since I was 15. With music, age is not a factor whatsoever. |

age is a factor in that the pedagogy that might help you is stuff you would learn say in your last 2 years of a music degree and a masters. Again, everything you've mentioned is stuff the average asian kid does. It is pretty common. It doesn't translate as much as you think. Well perhaps the discipline. But ya, from someone that knows alot more about classical music, as great as it is, it isn't some golden key. So much of EDM has little or nothing to do with anything a classical background would bring.
there are about a million threads regarding DAWs and their quality. There is some lazy ass that makes one every month on one of the threads. |

I domt really care what you have to say, to be quite honest. As hard as it may be to believe, this isn't all that new to me. I have an extensive CV in classsical music, ranging from playing to composing. The only difference here is the electronic element of it all, and I feel that my background in Classical music will really help me here.
Anyways go to another thread with your negative comment, because I don't give two s for your attitude, thanks. |
you're ing retarded dude. you come on here asking the most dumb, rudimentary question about production and talk about how you're going to make it "at all costs", then spend a week arguing when everybody tells you that your question is ing stupid and can be answered with a 2 second google search. |

No, actually, I'm very far from retarded. Why? Because I stated in my first post that I'm fully aware that this question is asked oftenly (because I researched it), and that my main reason for asking was more tuned towards "sound quality" as opposed to "Which one will make me the next Armin?" I know most DAWs essentially do the same things, just different layouts. However, I wanted to make sure my money wasn't being dumped on the wrong software that has some limitations. I got my answer from people who actually cared to answer, because they actually have a passion for production and helping new people get into it - and then I got comments from the likes of you, with clearly nothing better to do with their time; quite sad. That nice little paragraph could've been swapped for something positive, just as quickly as you wrote it negatively - but as with everything, there are always a few douche bags that enjoy beating on the kid on the block.
Enjoy! |

Is this really the place to flaunt our classical music dick sizes? Who cares who knows more, and who knows who knows more. I don't care what you think - I did 4 years travelling the world playing classical music. If you've done the same, congratulations, although I highly doubt it. |

if you dont wanna waste money pirate all of the daws, use each for 24 hours, decide what u like best and go from there
usually there is a demo available of them anyways
im going to always say ableton because im super fast in it but i know logic and PT have better summing and built in eqs etc... |

Awesome, thanks a lot, I'll definitely give that a go. Nothing wrong with Pirating DAWs if you intend on purchasing them eventually, I think. |

Sound like you have enough info to start from so dive deep into playing with all your pirated software for a few days and come back with your report over here which one of those DAWs you like the most.
Cheers mate,

He is schooling you on an iPad, bro. And, by the way, you've gotten considerable help here in this thread compared to so many of the other clueless 15 year old toads who come in here asking for the golden ticket to music production. Just take the advise (GOOD advise, lots of it) and be happy you were given the time of day. Take a minute to digest, and stop being such a defensive little brat. No one cares about your hopes and dreams to be honest. |

you brought it up. I just want to soften the fall when you realize it isn't going to be that helpful and in some ways, it puts you at a disadvantage but that would be more my opinion but that is assuming a certain criteria of education which you seem to fall into. Knowing enough but not enough. Same reason why 1-2 year students tend to write all their harmonies in block form because that is how it is taught in every school. There is a whitewashing in the way most people teach classical music.
I find programmers somehow have an advantage over many musicians. It seems weird but in a way it isn't that weird. Most programmers are good at math, math and music, well that link is obvious. I just don't see the point in bragging about classical music now trust me , i've done it but not in regards to making EDM. Only when it applies in a topic were such knowledge is relevent. |

Back in the Hardhouse days, everyone I knew was on Cakewalk. Than when I went to college I wanted to learn production so I took some classes on MOTU's Digital Performer. But at the time, I was more interested on making mix tapes than actual production. So I bought Cubase because "everyone was using it." I couldn't get the hang of it and it wouldn't warp tracks. So making mix tapes was a bitch and a half. I gave up. I than bought Reason 3 and I was completely lost.
Ableton was out of the question because every time I opened it, I was overwhelmed. I didn't even know where to start from. Two years went by after I bought it and I finally decided to give it another try. Than one day, I started doing the tutorials again and it finally clicked. Now, I freakin LOVE Ableton.
I wasted so much money on DAW's, but I'm finally settled on one that I felt comfortable with and that at the time it did the things I needed, like warping.
My only regret is not doing what the OP is now doing; research. I've gone through my GAS phase already but now I'm finally settled and really decided to learn what I already own before buying any new software or DAW. The only things I'll buy from time to time are plugins. |

you see, in FL studio and in Live, 2 + 2 usually equals ~4... sometimes it's 3, sometimes it's 5, but you know, edge cases. in pro tools however, and in logic, BOY! 2 + 2 = 4!!! |
