What's up guys, kinda new here, putting my feet in the mud.

This thread interested me because I'm not a dj, musician, or producer. I'm a web designer that sits in his home office all day with no one around for miles, and I blast dub. Pretty much everything you guys have shared here.

So I hit the OP's sample song, and I was like "ok, cool, I like the Beatles, and that sounds ok", but then I get further down and happen to play SilentK's "No One" and it melted my fucking face.

As I said before I have a decent amount of time and passion to create electronic music. I also have some expendable income and I'm aware the tools aren't cheap.

But I don't want to be cheap. I would like to be able to mix my own music that moves me the way "No One" does. Eventually, 5-20 years from now.

So my question is, where do I start?

Keep in mind I am a seasoned web designer / php programmer, and I already use Audacity for podcast's and meme'ing my friends. I have a warez version of Reason, and the same with Fruity Loops. Ableton looks promising. And I have no problem purchasing these softwares if they are going to benefit me, the beginner, and not the end user.

I run 3 PC's, and considering a Mac 27".

Thanks for your time, and keep doing what you're doing.

Hey bro. Just a word of advice I wouldnt talk much about Warez here! People really frown upon that here, but I personally couldn't give a shit hah. Go here, and read EVERYTHING within it, will be of so much help to you mate. Eventually down the line when you get serious you WILL have to purchase software. Cracked copies don't run that smooth, same goes with VST's like.

Everything you need to know is contained within that thread mate. Good luck, peace.

Which Software (DAW) you use will have to be your decision, so learn the basics, and play about with a few, but I would personally have to recommend Ableton...

Yeah, not a problem.

Thanks, I can't believe I missed that thread!

Haha no worries, a lot of people seem to! If you have any questions, use this search engine:
http://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=00220 ... wxoicg4myg

Its the DSF Google

If you don't find the information your looking for there, then post a thread, but search first! A lot of people post the same questions over and over again and regular members can get quite nasty to people who do, understandably.
PM me if you ever need to ask something and I'll try to help.
Oh, and enjoy

something called sampling. look into it, also you would have to chop, timestretch, and fade(get rid of popping/clicks) as well. not trying to be sarcastic either
