no program called daw has so less midi options to offer like live.

i got my few piano knowledge from producing and arranging. i'm interested in music theory and so i learned on the piano playing chords. melodies and basses are no problem anyway after doing it for a couple of years. you never become a good piano player without lessons but for sequencer use you don't...

i have a saxophone...

some thoughts that help me much: making music (playing, composing, arranging, producing, making sounds) is fun. if you throw something away and start over the fun begins again! don´t cry for wasted time if the time was good! some ideas: - if you have good sounds and riffs: keep them. just throw away...

the topic question is obsolete.

if you invent a roboter which can drink wine: would wine drinkers be obsolete?


music making is the fun, not music consuming. and people who can´t play music at least dance to participate the process.

operator can do all kind of synth sounds if you think in categories like bass, pad, pluck, lead... but it sounds different than basses, pads, plucks and leads from other synths. even if there is a technical congruence in many aspects there is one big thing: different synths invite to make different ...

have you heared the fazioli of imperfect samples? it's my favourite for warm and moody piano...

there should be no phasing problems between two different recordings. you get phasing prolems when copying an audio track in your daw and this is no musical doubling. did the guitarist play his part really twice? if so the human inaccuracy and the physic of an acoustic instrument generates slightly ...

i use synthsquad for the (more or less) rough and edgy sounds.
for the smooth sounds you could have a look at synapse dune or u-he ace. there are demo versions of both.
