Hey there, everypony!
In the past few days, I've decided to finally pick myself up and give electronic music a try. It's always been a big attraction for me, and I'm excited to give it a go. I've always felt drawn to it, but in my own mind I just thought that producing electronic music would just be way out of my league. This community has inspired me to give it a shot, though.
But I'm in a bit of predicament.
You see, I've tried other forms of music--guitar, bass, piano--but nothing has really kept my attention for long. I've always been more dedicated to electronica than any other kind of music. I feel like this has crippled me, however. With no serious prior experience in music, how could I ever expect to produce entertaining songs?
I guess I'm just asking for any advice you can muster for someone like me....
I will still be giving my all to learn as much as I can,though, regardless of how my lack of experience affects me. And so, I have another question. Currently, I am running the trial of Ableton Live 8.2.7 to see how compatible I am with it, before I decide to buy/acquire it.
I was wondering, is a MIDI keyboard something that I should really strive to get, or is there at least a relatively easy way to make the music without the need for a special keyboard?
Thanks in advance! I really look forward to (hopefully) spending more time around here!
