ok... this is the thing: I want to make music. I got so many ideas crammed into my thirteen year old little brain of main I could drown all of the worlds population twice with them (exageration). So... I've been looking for equipment and I run across an interview with AE where they talk about there Gear. I try to figure out what type of equipment they use so that I can get some backround on the names of the machines and what I need and other stuff. I read the names and I can't make anything out of them. R7890178 + roland 247938 and sequencer 7890234 and crap like that. I don't even know what software is and what hardware is. I'm no computer genius. I can't take any equipment right now and turn its internal circuits upside down. All I am is a crazy kid who wants to make music. All I have right now is Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 and I can't use it effectively because the cheap MIDI sounds on the instrument sound so damn cheap. How do IDM muscians get the cool sounds they have? How can you make your own sounds? What should I buy? What the hell is a modulator, synthesizer, controller, and all that other shit? Could some please help me? Does anyone know of any tutorial or essay on how to work all this electronic gear? Where do people learn about this? By looking at a rock band I can tell waht instruments it has... but by looking at a picture of Orbital (or any other electronic music for that matter) performing live all I can make out is a bunch of electronics, but I haven't the slightest idea what? Any help would be appresiated.
