 |
|
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping I can get some help from someone with regards to remixing and producing house, trance and dance music. I've been DJing for over 15 years now and its time for me to take my love of music to a different level. I want to produce and remix my own music but I don't know where to start with regards to buying the right equipment and software. What do I need to start producing my own music? I heard Reason 3.0 was good for electronic and hip-hop music, but what else do I need to purchase? I'm going to need a program that I can use to sample, create drum beats and bass lines, etc. Can anyone help me out and point me in the right direction? I have a lot of ideas that are in my head and I need help making these songs into a reality. Although I'm a veteran when it comes to DJing, I am absolutely GREEN when it comes to producing electronic music. Thanks for your help in advance.

| Reason is a great start for beginning. Just be sure to buy yourself a nice MIDI controller with knobs. They will help you alot when doing automation. If you have a Mac, go with Logic and learn the hell out of it. Logic will blow Reason out of the water. The biggest downfall to reason is that is is a 16-bit program, so your sounds will never be the best quality but if your just learning, it will at least teach you the fundamentals to get you started. I personally use Pro Tools for all my production work, mainly because I went to school for it for the past 11 months and I am very comfortable. |
