What EXACTELY do I need to start making trance/electronica beat music? I Have used harware in past but?

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

But dont know a thing about the software side. I owned a few drum and synth machines before like the Korg EMX and Roland MC 909 which I made all my own original songs on, however I sold those about a year ago.

So back to my question, what all do i need EXACTELY to start making trance music again but on my computer? I hear so many terms that mean absolutely NOTHING to me like compressors? wtf is that?

I just want to know what i will need to buy to start up and ill work my way up to more things as i go along and get more familiar with how things are. So what should i buy first? A basic program like fruity loops? If so, which one? Or is there a better program to start out with other than fruity loops? And if u mention difrerent programs and other technologies please tell me specifically what it is they do and what i need to do with them. Ive read otehr answers on here responding to similar questions but again i get caught up in the confusion when technical terms are thrown around.

thanks for your advice i really love trance music and what to make my own tracks again

What is the best website provider for an electronica music maker ?

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

I want to start a website.
I need to find the best webhosting package i can get.
I need loads of really cool templates to choose from , for the design , layout , and overall look , but also the potential of editing these and inserting my own graphics.
I need lots of space to upload about 100 / 200 mp3s , email capabilities , and the ability of bolting on a phpbb or other kind of forum ( which will have daily backups )
It needs to be really good quality with as close to 100% uptime as possible.. Good places on search engines a must too.
And , lots of extra options, should i need them.

I dont want to pay thru the nose for it either , so the best and most cost effective is what im after.

Thx for your help !!

What is your opinion of this Electronica song?

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Obital- The Box (Untitled Version 1)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DCRLZcjw2E

I heard this song on a college radio, and I am really liking what I have heard so far. I love how a piano is used in this song. It is used quite well too. Tell me what you think of this song.
You’re welcome Sabrina. I am glad somebody like you will take the time to listen to other genres of music than just rock music all the time. Thanks for answering.
♫crave∑usic♫, I love that Ensiferum song. They could quite possibly be the greatest Folk Metal band to walk the face of the earth. Nice song choice. :)

Does anyone know of any Techno/electronica/beat/house artists or Djs who freaquently sample Metal songs?

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

I know of one guy Aaron Spectre (aka drumcorps), but he isn’t exactly what I am looking for, although I like his music very much.

I want something that feels like you could dance to it at a party or a club, but honestly I’ll take anything you can give me.

Please help!!! I have a great love of beat heavy dance music and screaming and double bass drums, but I know not where to find them all in one. :(

Who’s better? Li’l Wayne or Jay Electronica?

Monday, July 27th, 2009

I had to do @ least one of these things.
Exactly. A very damn good question. Who the hell is Jay Electronica? I’ll say this to you all exept for “rgcoming” & “Celebrate Bit**es”. Go & find out & I’ll post this very same question a week or two from now. I’ll have to give some that amount of time to let dude sink in.
Paris : What up beau? I had a Fukkked off day yesterday. I didn’t know whether I was coming or going. But I’m good. You need to get familiar with Jay Electronica though & stop playing.
It’s too hilarious to see how people are so stuck on one thing that they strongly believe there isn’t anything else that could be possibly better.

Hell Elzhi is killah emcee, but if some posts “Whos better? Elzhi or MC Hockey Puck. but before I answer that, I’m gonna first say, “Who in the hell is MC Hockey Puck”, Look up this dude & I feel he’s iller I wouldn’t have a problem saying it. Doesn’t matter if I’m just now hearing about this new dude.
So glad to be me.

What’s the name of this Ragga Electronica Song?

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

I remember the lyrics for an old song from the 90’s that sounds something like (and also starts off with) “Nani nani baigo, punani bago”…Unfortunately that’s all I can remember. I believe it was a techno/house song with ragga vocals. The artist is female. If it helps, it kinda sounds like the song “Boom Boom Boom (now lemme hear you say whayo) — Outhere Boys.”
it has a techno type of beat, sort of like ‘i like to move it’.

Can you help me find this electronica/techno song with just a vague description?

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

It’s an electro/dance/club/techno song, circa 2002. A friend made a mixed CD for me and the song was on there, but since then the CD has been lost and I don’t see that friend anymore. It has a Hawaiian/ukulele/Polynesian feel to it, and the really bad part is, it’s instrumental! If it had words, I’d just google those. I have tried searching “hawaiian techno” and “ukulele techno” with no luck. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Advice on where to look for this would be awesome too. If there’s any other info that might be helpful, please let me know! All answers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

What’s your favorite techno/trance/electronica artist of all time?

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

For me it’s Oakenfold, Armin Van Burren, Dirt Devils, Blank and Jones, Slyder, Dj Sasha, etc. etc.
Tiesto is good, but he’s not the greatist artist.

EXCELLENT Dj though, he can beatmatch like no other
It’s just a lot of his songs sound alike, he always follows the same basic mood for his songs…

And my brother met him in person, said he was a jerk… idk. Still very good, I love Traffic - Tiesto
No way!! Above and beyond is also known as Dirt Devils, they did Music is life, which is one of my favorite songs
6264720, Dj Pavo, Showtek, Dark by Design, And Dj Zany sound like your style.
