I know this topic has been gone over a gaZillion times..
I'm a dj looking to get into producing [e.g. I have ideas
but no way in which to express them musically, and no
real technical knowledge of any aspect of production, aside
from some abstract ideas and concepts.]
I got started dj-ing by buying tables and a mixer and
experimenting. Can I try my hand at production in the
same way?
My question is -- is there any one machine and/or book or
other piece of literature that I should purchase to gain
some of this background knowledge and "hands on" experience?
I know the MC-303 has been slazzed a hundred times on a bunch
of lists but is there any type of older synth or the like which
I should consider purchasing .. and more importantly -- Why?
Sorry for 'spamming' the list with semi-non-idm-content.
Replies greatly appreciated,
