i’m doin a college course but its mostly acoustics and live performance rather than composition and using production software etc. we do some cubase work but not really that in-depth
i have a mac and logic studio (its got no dongle now, torrented) but i need some sort of startin guide thing.

November 22, 2007 at 11:22 am #1125170best way is to get some software and just play around with it. I initially started with Fruity loops which is a piece of piss to get even the thickest of heads round. I now use Ableton LIve 6 an Logic with a whole host of plug ins etc. At the end of the day, the chances are your initial attempts are gonna sound absolutely shite so don’t be downhearted, post up the tunes and get some real feedback as to where you’re goin wrong/right. Let everyone you know hear what you do and get their HONEST opinion (friends normally have to be told to be honest cos some people that have an emotional link somhow never are brutally honest).
There is no right or wrong way to start producing, just get on with it.
Anyone you know who has any experience of production is always a good help.
PM if you need specific advice and I’ll do whatever to help if I can 😉November 22, 2007 at 11:22 am #1146099best way is to get some software and just play around with it.
