ok so hi to all and this is my first post.
I used to do jungle/drumnbass pirate radio /raves, had one record out in 1998.
been off and had kids/got married.
just over 10 years later i now wish to reignite myself and return to music production, specifically DNB, also like the dubstep sound which i only found out about in the past few weeks which shows you how long i have been out the game!
the record released in 1998 was all made with a sound engineer co-ordinating the sounds we wanted, so i had no hands on experience with the software, etc.
i have a pc and have been dabbling with DAW demos like reason/acid(sony).
i am keen to go apple on this as ive heard that most of the drum n bass producers are using this format? apple are leaders in simple easy to use kit so i trust they are going to be good for me - i simply dont have the time to go reading through manuals for hours on end.
other than that i understand cubase is still up there(i know it was cubase used in the studio in 1998)
luckily i am soon to be given a powermac g5. i see from forums the g5 can handle logic 9despite apples recommendations against it.
what with the cost difference between logic 9 and cubase 6 i am looking to go the logic route.
i have a very small box room/man space that i will be starting out on. i also have thin walls and young child so constantly blasting it aint gonna be an option. if i find i enjoy what im doing then i may look at hiring a garage/lockup to continue things and to pump up the sound.
i have m audio av40's.
am i going the right way with logic?
anyone got any pointers for me in my first few stages of getting set up? websites i should look at? things i should be reading up on?
thanks for listening,
Ben
