I use to follow the blog a lot and wound up buying myself one of the custom VCI 100s with the arcade style buttons, as well as the midi fighter i believe its called. I got myself an oxygen 8 keyboard i think its called, as well as a BPM beat machine. To top it all off i have a guitar and a mic as well as a simple electronic drum set.
I just dont know anything when it comes to software.
I need to be able to use all my stuff, i want to record music, and mix stuff for my own playlists/mixes for parties.
Ive been thinking i should get a macbook but i havent used a mac in far too long. Id like to stick with win7 but im thinking a macbook will last me longer cuz windows sucks when it comes to not bugging out and eventually crashing.
Either way im wondering what you guys would recommend i get software wise for mixing. Whats the easiest/best program for someone new to the electronic world of music?
I have traktor but its far too complicated and i could never get it to work properly even after following the tutorials and using the custom mapping provided.
I also need to figure out how to make my computer recognize my BPM machine, my drum kit, and my midi keyboard, and software that will allow me to record with this stuff.
Im sick of my sound card because of how buggy my Creative X-Fi fatality champ edition sound card is, and i cant figure out how to get it to split each track to a different ear with my headphones.
I was told that i could get a nice affordable sound card that i like, and then purchase an external sound card so i can split the music between each ear.
I really just need suggestions and help in any of these areas due to my lack of knowledge when it comes to computers and music. Im so used to just using my acoustic while singing or an amp, or even my old keyboard.
I appreciate any links or guides on anything im asking for help with or may need help with, thanks.
