cheddatom Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 The way you program midi stuff is basically the same. It's just getting your head around VSTis andd how to set it up. It's pretty easy though, download it and someone decent will give you tips (I only ever use the drum machine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze015 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Same, I've been experimenting with this lately. While we're at it, what does everyone use as a digital music program? (something like Garageband, but not as sucky). Is Reason good? If you want to make electronic music (It doesn't do audio or run 3rd party plugins) and other software seems a bit confusing as you're used to using hardware, then Reason is decent enough.

cheddatom Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Actually the latest version of Reason can record audio. They also made something called Record which is a whole DAW in the style of Reason - looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simno Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Haze or anyone with decent recording chops around here.. what would be the best piece of software for me to download in order to EQ tracks in a mix? Basically I multi-track everything in Audacity at the moment, so have tonnes of wav files, that I could do with exporting into something else, or alternatively using some kind of plug in to EQ them, so I can mix on a parameter other than volume...

cheddatom Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 doesn't Audacity have EQ on every channel in the mixer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 oh dear. I just looked at Audacity online. It doesn't look great. Does it take VST plug-ins? It might be worth just swapping to another DAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don'tPostThePear Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Reaper, its free for a while (you can use it after the 30 days trial, i don't even know why it is called a trial), stuff is small and it comes with the basic mixing VSTs if you don't have any, like ReaEQ, ReaComp, etc. As an added bonus, they aint shit. I tried some Waves plugins along side them and it is not like i noticed some über difference apart from the reverb which only can Waves get semi-right, but i didn't tried every plugins available.

cheddatom Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 yeh just get reaper. Audacity doesn't look like it's very applicable for multi-track mixing IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze015 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Waves is overrated these days anyway, plugins have come on a lot since they were a necessity. UAD is where it's at.

Probably Propellerhead Record, it's an emulation of an SSL mixing desk basically, so might be easier to get to grips with compared to others.

Thank you man, I'll have a look at that, I just want something straightforward to start with, before I dabble in anything offputtingly complex!
