      i’m doin a college course but its mostly acoustics and live performance rather than composition and using production software etc. we do some cubase work but not really that in-depth

      i have a mac and logic studio (its got no dongle now, torrented) but i need some sort of startin guide thing.

      how did you all learn? everythin looks well complicated.

            In the shallow end with smaller programs and working our way up to the big scary ones or sitting with someone who knows what they are doing is good while they work and asking questions:wink:

                Nah, jump in at the deep end. Swim around and turn all the knobs and press all the buttons on your way past.

                    best way is to get some software and just play around with it. I initially started with Fruity loops which is a piece of piss to get even the thickest of heads round. I now use Ableton LIve 6 an Logic with a whole host of plug ins etc. At the end of the day, the chances are your initial attempts are gonna sound absolutely shite so don’t be downhearted, post up the tunes and get some real feedback as to where you’re goin wrong/right. Let everyone you know hear what you do and get their HONEST opinion (friends normally have to be told to be honest cos some people that have an emotional link somhow never are brutally honest).
                    There is no right or wrong way to start producing, just get on with it.
                    Anyone you know who has any experience of production is always a good help.
                    PM if you need specific advice and I’ll do whatever to help if I can 😉

                            reason 3 seems to have a goodish balance between ease of use and reasonable sound quality. tho ive only tied a habdful of programs.
