this is the thread for making music and listening to music both of which often involve computers in this day and age we have been making many beeps and boops   here's a cover of a kraftwerk song i made last weekend that i rushed so i dont like too much but ppl say is alright? idk its some uncanny valley poo poo https://soundcloud.com/dumbledog/the-model-demo i have an idea for an ep in the back of my head revolving around nuclear energy in the 80s but its gonna be a lot of effort!

i'd say go with software first, save some money (although you'll have to drop $200 on a DAW first, hm) syntorial is a good app for learning the ins and outs of how synths work after that pick up a soft synth, u-he makes good poo poo so i'd say go with diva or maybe ace if you really want to go the hardware setup, the ms-20 and microbrute i picked up this month work amazingly well together

for anyone who wants to learn the basics of synthesis, the "how to make a noise" ebooks are a great cheap resource. they're not perfect, but they're like $3 i've been learning fm synth with one of those books and fm8 and it is sooo fun

there's a new fm synth for the ipad that is apparently pretty good, i think it's just called fm4. might be an easy way to get your feet or other appendages wet fm8 is daunting at first but so insanely flexible once you get everything worked out, it's amazing

tip: putting your samples into an expensive hardware sampler is a good way to warm up the bits.

if you just want to make some beep boops you can try out FamiTracker and make some NES-style chiptunes it'll also prepare you for the world of amiga-style tracker programs

I'm going to make an effort post about trackers in the future. I only know a few other people irl who use it as their main daw but they're beastly with it. e. if you're looking for a good daw on the go (iphone, android, whatever) i've had fun with sunvox which is also a modular synthesizer. pixitracker is made by the same people and looks pretty cute. for android milkytracker isn't a bad alternative.
