What’s going on with your setup? I’m getting my daughter into making music and want to see what others are doing and looking for some advice on good starting equipment. ---

I kinda just record vocals under my bed sheets and just a 40$ CAD U37. It works pretty well for me 🙂 ---

I don’t think she’ll be doing any vocals right now. Just some electronic stuff. Keyboard, etc… ---

First you’ll need a computer and soffware. Maschine is great to start with it comez loaded with sounds all tho its not a keyboard you can add a keyboard to it. Or you can start with Fl studio its also a great starter but you will have to buy a midi keyboard. ---

Thanks for the tips. I’ve got FL right now so I’ve been messing with that a little… just looking to make it easier for her to get into. ---

You don’t want to know my setup haha. I have a 16 track Fostex hard disk recorder, an old version of Studio Vision, which they don’t make anymore (I don’t think), and I have a lot of sound modules, and instruments. I have a few condenser mics, mixers, samplers, compressor, effects units. I’m old school, but I get the job done haha. A lot of people I know are using Fruity Loops, Reason and Pro Tools. I’ll transition soon as well. I just haven’t been doing as much with music lately as I used to. ---

You can get surprisingly far with GarageBand, a cheap audio interface and a MicroKorg. It’s not the most amazing setup, but it’s a good synth that offers many possibilities for anyone starting working with audio. ---
