starting producing

[Elle]

dont laugh, i havent got the first idea about production, but am quite interested in starting to learn. its me birthday coming up next month, so bearing in mind that im a beginner what programmes do people recommend, that are simple but get good results? ive got windows xp

[MARKEG]

reason or fruity loops are the best choices for you.

[MARKEG]

and why would we laugh? we're all here to help :)

[DJ Corbzy]

alright elle, Ive just started making tunes, I would have to agree with mark on one half there, I think Fruity is the best idea. I'm having loadsa fun with it and prefer it to reason.

PM me

Happy Days!

[MARKEG]

hey c

i think you'll notice that i edited your message. we've got to be careful now man. 'pm' me is a good way to sort it out :wink:

[mike heath]

I have to disagree with Corbzy, I think Reason 2 pisses all over Fruity Loops 1, 2, 3 etc and Reason 2.5 is out now with added features.

[DJ Corbzy]

no worries mark, tryed to be as discreet as poss mate.

mike heath : i didnt say it was better, just i find it better and recommend it to elle.

[Addict]

Elle I'm in the same boat as you, I've only recently started messing around with Fruity. The tutorials on it are wicked you can more or less teach yourself.

[K Front]

Ive only just started aswell, TA do you know any good tutorials for melodys?

[MARKEG]

buy a good chord book from a book shop.... learn chords and then you'll be really good at melodies.

[Addict]

Piano Roll is good for melodies, send the sound in your channel to Piano Roll and its pretty much straightforward from there, its like a composer.

I can C a new thread comin' up
Reason vs Fruity...

I don't wish 2 start any flames...
But I would take fruity over Reason anyday... WHY...

Just the fact that u can still use all yer favourity VSTi/ DXi/ VST Plug Ins/ Dx Plug Ins with it... :)

Also I find very annoying all the major clicks and drags I have do 2 4 a simple think in Reason...

I think Reason is a big beats and has a lot 2 show 4... fruity loops simpler, but is it really....!?!?! I THINK NOT!!

Anyways, it's the "ends" that counts not the "means"..

Again no wish 2 start a war, I just think many people don't really dig deep with fruity thus getting a wrong idea!
