What to start with ?

as some of the others already stated:

start with reason. study the manual. and try to get that video tutorial for it. it really helps you and shows how a track is created from A to Z. then get the book "powertool for reason" and work throught. after that you will have in deepth knowledge of reason. get yourself a midi controller/keyboard somewhere along the way.

after that get your self either logic, cubase or live. try them out and you will soon see what suits you.

well, that's the way i went, and i think it worked and still works for me.

Hi northernlight.

Could you tell me more about the video tutorial of reason ? Is it made by propellerhead ? Where can I find it ?

Thank you for your answer.

I just want to say this once and for all, you don't have to agree with me, but I think reason sucks. To me it is a waste of money. You are buying an elaborate and very picky sampler that sounds like ass. Be different and go with something else.

people always overlook trackers but i would say give renoise a try. it is cheap and it offers a really interesting way of making music in a nonlinear fashion. it just takes some getting used to since we are so used to seeing the progression of music on a sequencer.

i try to find it on the web but it's not around.

the one i used was for Reason 2.5, so i don't know if it's still available.

i will search around a bit more. if you cannot find it, pm me.

yes, tracker is of course an interessting way to go.

i would say check them all out.

get demos of all the software out there: renoise, logic, live, cubase, reason, fl studio, etc.

maybe give each a week to try out. i think you will easily spot the one you like the best.

oh yeah and if you are on a pc buzz is a really awesome tracker that has all sorts of new plugins made by users coming out all the time.
