| Hi everyone!
I'm starting right know in the Scene world. But i need to know :-)
I remember long time ago using Screamtracker (I think that i still had MS-DOS 6.2 in my computer) but what do you use now?
What will be the best hardware to use (ie. SoundCard)?
Any help from MIDI Keyboards or anything like that?
And how to integrate it with the code?
Thanks! | | |
| The hardware is not really an issue these days anymore. Every recent computer has a soundcard with decent enough quality for every day uses. Of course, if you're aiming for more professional sounds another soundcard can be useful. Both Creative and Terratec has consumer models like Sound Blaster Audigy and DMX 6-fire series that offer 24/96, spdif, midi in/out and all that shit with affordable price.
MIDI keyboards are of course useful if you prefer playing the music yourself over clicking things with mouse or using keyboard for composing. Go for Evolution. :)
How to integrate the music to the code is coders problem unless you're using tools like Demopaja to do your demos. | | |
| Thank you for the information.
One last thing. I have downloaded MadTracker. What else is out there?
Thank you again | | |
| | try renoise tracker or fruity loops studio. | | |
| if you have a tracker background i think your best choice is clearly renoise.
if you are more insterested in sounding professional cheap you can go for reason and fruityloops.
when you really know about sequencing, vsts, mastering and mixing you can start thinking about logic audio and cubase.
if you're more into experimental stuff try the modular synthethisers outthere, professional options would be reaktor, max/msp, puredata. freeware options would be bidule, buzz, audiomulch, bonneville's cps. | | |
| | either way, getting a copy of cooledit and/or soundforge is clearly a necessity. | | |
| I would like to add the recent "Traktion" to this list. This is one of the best and creative tool I ever had. A kind of mixture between a tracker and logic with a very intuitive GUI, VSTi, VST support, and filters racks, ...
for 80 €, u do everything in it from composing to mixing to mastering (because you can put all effects you need on the output in a very easy manner!) | | |
