I was wondering if any head-fi'ers had any advice for me.
I want to produce music. Electronic music. I have a passion for progressive trance, but my knowledge is non existent. I've wanted to do this for over two years now, so I feel that my motivation won't fade anytime soon.
Where should I start? Areas that I have in mind are:
What type of midi keyboard/interface should I be looking at? Should I skip cheap beginner-esque ones and go straight for good sound? My budget is $1,000 for the keyboard/interface/etc alone. Brands? Models?
Do I absolutely need knowledge of how to read notes on a piano? Should I get lessons to accelerate my learning?
What software would be good? I hear FL Studio and Reason are nice, I can use my mac or my pc, so I'm not limited to operating systems really.
Thanks for your time, I appreciate any advice you may have to offer.
