I use Ableton Live on PC with a Firebox interface, M-audio Keystudio, M-audio Triggerfinger, Event TR-8 monitors, and all kinds of software synths and effects.

Check out the link to my music in my signature.  I'm still learning but always having fun.  Hit me up if you have any questions.

I just have a shitty casio tonebank and an Mbox interface through either ableton or FL studio or pro tools... Most of my power is in software/VST/RTAS.. :awesome:

I use Ableton Live, with an Oxygen49 midi keyboard and a Monome.

Simple but powerful.

Search for Mr. Bills Tunes (maybe with Ableton in the seach box too) hes got some great stuff.  He posts lots of free stuff but he also has a pay account that gets you even more stuff.  You can just pay for a month and then download it all and cancel it after.  I've even heard him condone that lol.  But he does update so its worth keeping for a while. 

Also search Tom Cosm.  He also has some great info and videos. 

READ THE ABLETON LIVE MANUAL!!!  Can't say this enough.  Leave it by the pot and read while your doin' your bidnezz.  You will for sure learn something out of there that you didn't know.  I will guarantee that.  Short cuts are great in Ableton so learn those too. 

Also remember sometimes there are multiple ways to get the same outcome or minor changes that make a huge difference in the sound.  Experiment all the time and you will never get bored. :grin:

Never hurts. I've always played a (very)little guitar but you don't need it necessarily. Maybe at least an understanding of scales and chord progressions would help make things sound cohesive. I found once I got a keyboard it was easier to understand music. The keyboard gives you a good visual to notes and their relations.

It doesn't even -really- matter if you know theory at all with electronic music, it can be fairly atonal so you can always just play what sounds good... but taking your music to the next level... it would be pretty helpful to know chord progressions, scales and what not. Especially writing longer more harmonious compositions.

I use Ableton Live and a few plugins... m-audio fasttrack as my audio box (it's a piece of junk actually).
oh, and shitload of weird percussion instruments. :crazy:
You can check out a song I just finished here: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14501266

spiz, like the others said, learning a little piano is helpful but not essential.
You don't need to become a seasoned professional; but just knowing your scales, arpeggios, and chords is nice.

Good luck.

yea iv bought a midi key board and stuff njust need to knuckle down and try learn some shit on it when ever i get a chance. i think once u learn to play it would also be easier to come up with stuff and u can just jam by yourself and see what u can conme up with.

what soft/hardware synths u guys use? only one i really use is the free 3xosc which has pretty basic sound but under heavy effects can come up with some cool sounds

Spiz, pick a program that works best for you.
Live is very popular and flexible (and what I use). Other people like Cuckos Reaper for it's ease of use and constant updates.
If you're on a mac, Logic is the most popular choice. If FL studio works for you, keep using it.

After that, the best advice I can give is to NOT purchase/download a lot of plugins.
Learn to use the native plugins in your DAW software. Master them.
Then, when you do decide to buy some plugins, just buy a couple VERY good ones, and learn to use them to their full potential.
Too many people become 'vst whores', and never actually tap into what their software is capable of.

As for hardware, You'll probably want an audio interface next.
This will speed up the latency on your audio and make it sound better. (Eventually, you can also purchase a microphone to use with it too.)
Start cheap. Buy an inexpensive interface to begin with. Make equipment updates as you need them.
Read product reviews and find one what works best for you and your budget.

Good point about vst whore.  My roommate has a million and he just flips around through them and makes noises.  I laugh every time.  I've slimmed mine down to about 4 or 5.

an audio interface is what like an external sound card? does this just help with hardare synths etc or does this improve soft synths as well? sorry for dumb questions haha

Yep its an external sound card. Takes a load off your computers CPU.  Also allows for you to hook up hardware, monitors, headphones, all kinds of stuff.  Go cheap at first and work your way up like someone already said.

I'm stuck using my DJxII Yamaha Keyboard at the moment until I can get access to Garageband again. Been playing keyboard for 9 years. My current forte is psychedelic neo-classical metaphysical ambient

2 songs of mine:

Dimethyltryptamine (Destructive Moments of Transcendence)

That's some decent ambient you got going on there, sunset_mission.  Have any others on the way/already finished? 
And to jazzaero, your song Feel That Way got real groovy, real fast.  Keep it up!

I've just started to get the basics of FL Studio down, but have yet to come back to it after a few weeks.  Serious lack of motivation and inspiration going on these days...

Thanks Katzenjammer!  Appreciate the listen.  I know what you mean by lack of motivation and inspiration.  I found that if you do some research and learn something new about a synth or effect it gets the ball rolling again.  I always quit for a while and then I will read something on a forum or magazine and be like "shit I gotta try that".  Gets me back into it quick.  That and churning out tracks.  Finished or not.  I just start new projects whenever I'm bored with something I'm doing.  I'll end up coming back with a fresh mindset later and have waaay more knowledge on the subject. 

ehh I'll quit typing....

Thanks again and good luck.  If you make something post it up.  I'll check it out.

That was quite good! Only things I'd personally do is give that fat bass around 1:22 some more motion (some sort of oscillation or change over the course of that passage) and EQ a bit of the sand-papery  highs out of that lead around 2:15. :tongue:

Thanks twighead!  I get what your saying about the bass.  I'll see if I can give it a little LFOooooOoooOooOooOoo. :smile:

I'll check out those highs too. 

After listening to a track a gajillion times its gets hard to focus on certain parts.  All starts running together.  I always have to stop messing with it and ask someone else or do something else and come back later.

even if that 4th bass note had a little wobble that would be amazing

those bass notes kind of take away from the baad ass intro that you built

Maybe add some distortion to the bass at 1:22?  Just like, a little hint of fuzz on top of what you have now would sound cool.  And yeah, that high end near the end of the song is a little hard on the ears.  Besides that, pretty chillaxin' beat you got!

Yeah I think the fuzz on the bass sounds like a great idea!  I already rolled off the top end of that last part on the newest version I was working on. 

Thanks again for the info.

I've been composing electronic music for over 5 years. I specialize in LIVE psytrance/trance and drum n bass, use everything from hardware drum machines to ableton. I'm also one of the very few live Visual Artists you see at a lot of the bay area/sacramento events. Any one else produce or perform in the EDM scene?

Make demos of a few of your tracks and send them out to labels that support similar types of music... if you're lucky maybe you'll get picked up :tongue:

how would u go about getting yourself out there if you think youv created a good enough song?

over the past few days iv managed to create a real synth heavy track similar to a pendulum song and it just got me wondering hahaha :smile:



Make demos of a few of your tracks and send them out to labels that support similar types of music... if you're lucky maybe you'll get picked up :tongue:




there's always the DIY aesthetic route of making your own label, handling, promoting and distributing your own stuff and getting the initial word about your music out there! then labels can come in and further things once you've established yourself.

I've always found this to be true especially in the world of electronic music. Ive created my own label and pretty much distributed my music and videos, not the easiest way but eventually it will make its way to the people within the scene.

If you're a musician and engineer you really don't need to pay another A&R person to sell for you these days, pretty much a one man show can do it just as big as anyone else.

Power to the people :smile:

True enough - but its a time commitment as well. So you pay for it either way.

Make a soundcloud and any other music sharing site you can and network.  Dont spam but push your stuff.  Always good to get a good fan base.  I like to think that remixes and making little mini mixes helps because people hear your music next to other stuff they like and might relate the two.  That's a philosophy I just recently decided to follow.  I decided I just want to make a bunch of my own remixes and mini mixes to get my name out there. I'm no expert by any means though.  Just the way I feel about my own stuff.  The power of friends works well too.  If your friends like your stuff they will support you and help you with it.

:grin:

I've been trying to get into production but the learning curve is just daunting. Also, I don't have any formal experience or know any instruments. I've been playing around with Reason 5 for a bit but I feel lost without a guide/teacher.

I've heard a lot about Ableton... I see a lot of people and artists using it - would you guys recommend I switch over?

Also, where can one find resources for beginners like me? I would REALLY like to know more about using synth's and shaping sounds to my liking.

I'm interested in psytrance and dubstep

I enjoy Ableton but that is just because I know the most about it.  I would say use what your comfortable with.  Try a couple and see how it goes.  Especially since ableton has a free lite version you can try out.  Just cant save projects. 

I always used to watch lots of youtube videos and read tons of electronic music magazines.  I think I might have mention some other sources earlier in this post as well.

I make a bit, not so much since my laptop started frying its internal organs.
I use Renoise and a wav recorder and my bass and guitar.
