agreed... this is sickening....lol

Mostly agreed with DJ Elemental (although I would definitely recommend a "proper" hardware synth like the Nova).

 

You're better off buying one bit of kit at a time, and learning how to make the best of it. Start by getting good at a sequencer on the PC, get a basic MIDI keyboard, and maybe look into a hardware synth.

Only sitting with other people really, I went to Steve Helstirps (Thrilseekers) studio for a day and went through loads of stuff with him which is obviously about the best advise you can get. Only thing is he uses cubase and I'm using logic so I'm bound to have loads of problems. But I'm willing to lock myself away for a few years until I can create some banging trance as good as him or PVD

Haha wicked... sounds like u got the willpower to do it then so thats a bonus!! You will have to keep us updated with anythin u make!!

 

Do you use any production forums? I find theyre a massive help.. if u dont know any lemme know and ill send u some links!!

[RicWorth]

No don't really go on any production forums, any useful ones would be appreciated.

 

I carried on with the tune I've been doing in cubase last night, it's quite good actually, very progressive trance which isn't really my style but that's how it's turned out. Need to put a main lead in there and a little piano riff in the background, add a few quirky noises and another few lines of percussion to fill it out etc.. It's got potential
