me i write about the motive itself, which normally ends up being the reasn the song comes to being in the first place .. what ever the motive is :

me bad, sorry , I used to live with a producer friend who had all the gear, he let me have the lot for nothing, but yes those proggies are worth a lot of money but still, the sytem/soundcard/laptop/recording/guitars I used . & environment in general was gear all second hand shit even down to the cables ......................... ok i was lucky enuff to get the proggies for nothing but the point I was making here is that it is possible using a crappy second hand laptop with no music recording set up on it of any kind and a few cool vst plugins it is posible to sound just as good as any pro studio ............................... even with a crappy vst like Hypersonic knowing how to manipulate it you can create sounds that will blow your mind, its all about tweaking what you got, not tryin to get the best of what can be got in equipment like most folks do. the best equipment helps produce great sounding songs, BUT THE BEST SOUNDING SONGS COME FROM KNOWING HOW TO MANIPULATE THE EQUIPMENT YOU HAVE"! huggs man!

on my page there are a bunch of old samples all made on a $500 laptop with a 2 gig mem ram 80 gig HD and a couple of crappy sure mics an electric guitar and acoustic no midi keyboard just the laptop keyboard keys were used using a simatel sound card using Asio drivers. and I was able to produce as good as quality recording as any pro studio could offer and I can prove that making music is about the brains in your head not the brains in your wallet using the following vst plugins : all using flstudio Kore 2 B4 organ Hypersonic 2 ( a worthless peice of crap in terms of sound richness and depth but with some kickass eq and a few efx and manipulation of sound combos is well worth the buy ) miroslav philharmonik plugin real guitar strat and acoustic stienburg groove agent 2 addictive drums vanguard albino korg collection N.I. guitar rig N.I. Absynth Nexus CW sudio instruments pro 53 Sylynth 1 Predator wavelab ....... countless of other vst plugin synths too i played all those plugins using the laptop keyboard ............mixed them down the same way too all with a $500 laptop ..................... it took me a few days to work out how to play simple major and minor chords for piano and keys on the lap top and a couple of days to be able to play the addictive drums drum kits on the laptop ....... it was just a case of doing what a drummer would do, keeping it simple and practising for a few days hitting the hi hat with middle finger right hand ..........hitting kick drum with middle finger left hand and using middle finger left hand to hit the snare and toms ...........it feels great playing a real drum kit on the laptop keyboard or you can simply drag and drop the midi files into any channel ( playlist in flstudio ) and you have your drums ready made play the bass guitar same as you would a piano .... just learn a few major scale and minor notes and you have it thts all it takes smiles man

why dont you start the ball rolling by writing a few lyrics yourself of an idea you have, then make a short audio sample, upload it and ask people there opnions, like that you will get people able to connect instantly with your ideas and they will respond creatively and you will get a lot more done a lot quicker than just telling people you may not be able to fit them all in your hat ...... thts my point exactly: get them to try the hat on first and make it fit by doing the above just my opnion .................... you will get more people into it a lot quicker mate smiles Ray

the voice in all its conceivable shape and forms = life = story= artistic creation = a mirror image of a perfect imperfection called life ................... .........thats what makes the worst singers sound so great! and the best singers sound like they are striving for something that they will never get ......... because the worst singer was able to convey it in a non'singer fashion ( an every day real life story fasion ) that everyone was able to relate to ..................... MUSIC IS NOT ABOUT HITTING THE CORRECT NOTE MY FRIEND, ITS ABOUT MAKING THE NOTES HIT THE CORRECT EMOTION IN THE LISTENER ! smiles man Ray ( Loraynmusic )
