Yo yo yiggity yo! So I kinda have this need to try and make music. <b>Give it ONE good shot, you know?</b> I keep really good rhythm but have never partaken in any lessons for any instrument. I know a lot of emptee'ers are in bands... Does anyone know about any awesome books to read on how to start? Maybe not a book, but maybe just a resource? I would want to record it with Garage band, using direct input and a mic. I was thinking about buying a simple Akai MPC to accompany a keyboard I have been messing around with lately. I don't even know if there is any other equipment I need to get going. Something like a sound board or can you do all that digitally? Help a brother out. I almost feel like I need "an idiots guide to start making music" or something of the sort. Hopefully I don't need that, because if I see anyone with those books, I feel instant pity for them. 2008-08-05T08:05:10-04:00 13 2008-08-04T22:50:08-04:00 5914 false false 5449 245 1 2009-11-08T07:24:41-05:00 571 mmmm i love my korgs micro korg and electribe esx 1 cant go wrong 5914 Post 2008-08-04T22:53:33-04:00 153778 1486 2008-08-04T22:53:33-04:00 <blockquote><cite>heroes said:</cite> mmmm i love my korgs micro korg and electribe esx 1 cant go wrong</blockquote> fuck you i want a microkorg... <img src="http://www.musiciansbuy.com/mmMBCOM/images/maudio_AXIOM49.jpg"> that is my baby. anywho if you need any help with garageband feel free to get at me I usually can figure it out I use my baby with Garageband, Ableton Live and Logic Pro (which is still confusing to me...) it sounds like you're all set if you've got the right wires, other than that go for it man. 5914 Post 2008-08-04T22:59:07-04:00 153786 297 2008-08-04T22:59:07-04:00 just get fruity loops and whip up a rave!!! 5914 Post 2008-08-04T23:01:55-04:00 153790 1486 2008-08-04T23:01:55-04:00 The MicroKorg seems awesome.
