Veracohr Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Greetings Ids! First you should clarify if you want to DJ or produce. You'll need different stuff depending on which it is. Assuming you want to produce new music: in general, you'll need synthesizers/samplers, MIDI sequencing and audio editing/mixing. There's lots of free software synthesizers, and lots of good ones that aren't free. Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) which combine MIDI and audio are not as free. There's a couple that are free/cheap, but the more popular ones cost a bit. Cubase and Ableton Live are both quite popular, but aren't cheap. Personally I love hardware synths, but they're not cheap either. At the least you'll probably want a MIDI controller to control software synths. Some people do without and do everything with their mouse, but I suggest a controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't get sold for nothing I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veracohr Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Ah, yes, of course. Slipped my mind. I'd assume most people have a pair of headphones at least, even if they're not very good. I recommend proper monitors but some people use quality headphones solely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
