I'm new to this whole thing.

Any tips on getting started?

Cheers

Be more specific ... what questions do you have?
What host are you using?(Cubase,Orion,Logic??)
What is your computer setup?
What type of 'stuff' do you want to do?
What color is the sky in your world?

All the best.

Step 1
Figure out what types of sounds are used in the type of music that you would like to create.

Step 2
Find a synth or sampler that can produce those sounds, or similar sounds.

Step 3
Figure out what notes and rhythms are used in the type of music that you would like to create.

Step 4
Find a synth host that will allow you to enter those notes and rhythms with as little difficulty as possible, and supports the synth(s) chosen in step 2.

Step 5
Make music.

Step 6 (optional)
Groupies

Wow, it's that easy!

Step 7 is getting famous and rich by doing the first five steps?

Sorry... that wasn't serious. Very good short description, indeed.

'NO, step 7 is get rid of the old groupies and get new ones.
Your phallic dependence on certain females may lead you to romantic love, an unfortunate creation of troubadours of centuries gone by. Instead, replace the original artwork of your first commercial album with something long and pointy, eg a tall building or a cuccumber.'

Thanks Dr. Freud. We' re grateful.

One thing I cant understand is why my friends suggested me Absinthe for getting that sound i wanted. What good does a green drink does to my creativity?
