Get a PC and a decent soundcard. Or a Mac if you prefer them. Look around on places like the computer music and electronic musician web site for soundcard reviews, I would recommend one but I've had the same one for years and I'm not really up on what's out there, although I find mine very good. It's an Echo Layla. Might be a bit pricey/high end if you're just getting started, depends how much $$ you have and how serious you are.
A lot of people will tell you to get reason or fruity loops but I say fuck that if you're in any way serious. They're an okay way to started I guess but it can take so long to master a program you mgiht as well start with the real deal now and get the learning curve out of the way. Get a good audio editor like soudnforge, then a sequencing/audio app like cubase, logic or pro tools. After that, yu might wanna think hardware. if you primarily want to make DnB, then a sampler is a logical step. I would recommend an EMU. They're simply the best sounding samplers out there, period and the reaosn is simple: proprietary, patented filters and other goodies make em tick. Of course, you're going to need a sound baord sooner or later. If money is no object, go for a Mackie 1604 right out the chute. If you're less serious, geta used mackie 1202 on ebay - you can pick one up for about $200. I recommend Mackie boards, although if you're a high roller Allen and Heath have some nice products. Have fun. >i use my ps2 music generator to write tracks, ive remixed champion > >sound,alien girl.jazz 2,and cutslo. i want to get a basic set up but > >dont know where to start. send email soon.. agile _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
