no im curious. im completely all self taught. anything i use ive learned on my own with no manuals or mentors.
right now its all pretty basic. i record my sounds from my synth and drum machine into my computer via a halfway decent sound card with sound forge. then i tweak the sounds with plugins to make them just right and upload the samples into acid 4.0. at this point its all laid out punched into a wav and sent back to soundforge for any after effects and slight eq tweaks.
what do other producers do? i know my setup isnt the best in the world but right now im not expecting to purchase anything new for some time due to my finances. what process do you go through?
