Hello there. I'm a journalism student working on a piece on the growing community of those who are using computers as their primary music making outlet rather than traditional instruments. I was wondering if there would be anyone in this forum who would be able to answer a few questions about making music with computer software rather than guitars and other instruments. These would just be basic questions, likely to be exchanged with emails. Questions would probably include: 1) Is it more or less cost efficient to create music with computers and software over buying guitars or pianos? 2) Is it easier for beginners to create using computer programs? 3) Does the versatility and range of computer programs allow you to be more creative? 4) Do you prefer to make music with traditional instruments or computer programs? If anyone would be willing to help me out here, I would be grateful. If anyone doubts my standing as a journalist, I can find you some of my other work.
