I've got no clue about making electronic music, however I just got myself a powerbook. Where should I start. Go on, I'd love to hear your recommendations. Pro-Tools? Cubase? As I said, I don't know where to start. I do have a guitar, but not much to plug it into, and it's so hard to get that kind of hand strength. I'd like to get a keyboard and make some plinkety plinkety noises with synths and see what happens. I downloaded "Reason" which is very pretty, but I couldn't get much out of it. It simulates a bunch of old synths, but I never used any of the originals. I don't even know what the words on the sliders, dials and buttons mean! Don't worry, at this stage, I've got no plans to actually release anything, even for free. electronic stuff I like besides the orb : orbital, fsol, jarre, vangelis, richard devine,aphex twin, the quake soundtrack by NiN, the grid, the shamen, the tron sountrack, moby, hell I still like the cheesy Midi soundtrack to the Deimos Lab level in "Doom".
