lol, work with live instruments. Everything is easier that way and sounds amazing to begin with. Don't worry about being perfectly on click track. Trust me

[Christian Nelson]

its just an instrument, m8

[Hunter Morgan]

I just picked up a korg nanokey2 as a spontaneous birthday present to myself. I have a couple of guitars and small instruments but I've never dabbled in anything like this.
Honestly the OP is a bit overwhelming. Saving all of the information to dig into later but was just wandering if there's anything I should directly focus on as a complete beginner?

[Brayden Davis]

Experiment. I'd like feedback on the vocoder or anything else you think is noteworthy

hey /prod/
I currently use a tracker as my DAW. It's the best DAW I've found for me and I'm very happy with it. However I feel like I'm getting blocked into writing certain kinds of music because of the program design.
So what I'm looking for is a DAW/other programs/ideas with a completely unique workflow. Or some killer feature that leads to making different kinds of music.

>not ignoring either issue and just buying and using an actual synth

you dense fucks, hardware is king

[Grayson Price]

hey I bought one of those a couple years ago and it's on my desk right now
great investment I use it all the time (with piano roll because I'm a pleb) and also as a controller for mixxx
what a coincidence I'm staring at my nanokey right now thinking about the track I'm not working on :x
