Beginner's Guide to Production

[Venga]

For the newbs, I am going put some information together to assist in some decision making when starting out. This is NOT going to be practical hands on information. This is going to be more philosophical information.

Lets get started:
The biggest question that most beginners ask is "what should I get to start out?" Unless you have specific plan, I highly recommend going the software route. Software will be much cheaper (sometimes free). It has come long way and seriously challenges hardware on a multitude of levels.

What are the software options?
I have used:
CoolEdit
Cubase
Cakewalk
FL Studio
Reason

CoolEdit - I can only speak to the version of CoolEdit that I use (1.2). It is a multitracking tool that can mix as many tracks as you wish up to the maximum that your system will handle. It has several effects, but they are not real time. This is a good tool for mixing down from external gear, but as far as a comprehensive solution... it is lacking seriously. It is good for editing samples, loop and breaks.

Cubase - Cubase has all of the functionality of CoolEdit, but adds full midi sequencing and VST support. VST's are effects modules and/or sound modules that run on the computer. When loaded on to a specific MIDI track, the sounds of this module will be triggered. Example, I have a Fender Rhodes EVP73 VST. If I load it to MIDI track 1 and drop a sequence... the MIDI track will play the MIDI notes back on the Fender Rhodes. Cubase can be used as an all inclusive solution, but you will require VST's for all sound processing.

Cakewalk - See Cubase

FL Studio - This suite of software is unique inthat it incorporates pretty much ALL of the functionality of Cubase and Cakewalk, but to a slightly lesser degree and in a slightly unstandard way. The good news is FL Studio comes with a large bundle of VST instruments and effects. It also has an integrated step sequencer for SP 1200 type sequencing. I recommend this package for the starter because it is complete and it is REALLY inexpensive ($150). It has full internal and external midi capabilities, but a bit more kludgy to use.

Reason - Reason could be a great piece of software, but it has a tendency to not play nice with some standards like VST or full external midi. Other than that, it is a lesser implementation of FL Studio. It does come with a strong bundle of instruments. The subtractor synth is awesome for simulated analog additive synthesis.

Is this software all I need?
The short answer is yes, but the truth of the matter to be a realistic threat with you music, you will need two things.

One is an external midi controller, the other is a good soundcard

The midi controller will provide you tactile control of the VST instruments on your system. They come in many shapes and sizes. I highly recommend an Akai MPD16 for drum like control. There are several MIDI only keyboards available as well. KORG has a controller that has drum pads, sliders for a mixer, knobs and a 3 octave keyboard. All contols are independently assignalble. It costs about $300, but handles several needs very nicely.

The sound card is the most important of all. I recommend something with an externally powered breakout box. Really good preamps build heat and take power. It is not possible to do this on a computer PCB board. No matter how well the SC processes the sound, the final answer is in the preamps. There are a couple of things to think about when choosing a sound card. How many inputs and outputs are there? What type of inputs and outputs are there (SPDIF, 1/4 balanced, ADAT, mic preamp)?

All together, one could put a pretty serious studio solution together for about $700 dollars (not including computer but including software).

aye yo, I have a Triton 61 and a new laptop, what would be the best program equipment to mix my tracks? I am a newbie I have production ideas but I just can get them out like I want.
