Starting to make electronic music...
« on: April 06, 2011, 08:23:38 PM »
Hey all,
I've been interested in starting up a musical project for a while. I play guitar in a band with a couple of friends, but as college approaches I'll have to part with them. That being said, I've really been into electronic music - electro and house in particular. I want to start making my own, though I'm not sure where to start.

I'm going to be hooking a synth to my computer and running Cubase or something like that. It came with a RP55 Digitech pedal, which was a gift, so I might as well make do with it. I'm having a bit of trouble deciding on a synth. At the moment, I'm looking at Roland's Gaia SH-01. I tried it out in a store and I had fun with it. It's not as pricey as some larger ones either and I like using the sliders to create my own sounds.

Hm, maybe I do have a rough idea where to start, but do those of you who are more knowledgeable in the area have any tips or suggestions?

Sorry I can't be of any help but when you do figure it out I'd love to hear your music.  :)

Along with analog synths and other things like that, I would recommend getting some good VST Plugins. Like these:

Nexus2
Sylenth1 (yes its suppost to be spelled like that)
Massive (Or really anything from Native instrements)
Vanguard

And a few others. Also If your looking for good drums check out Loopmasters.
