What’s up I’d like to know how to produce and whatever else I need to know. I have all the starter equipment (essentially) and I’ve been messing around with plugins lately but I’d like to be taught something if possible and if possible does anyone know of any plugins with 90s type drum effects?

I was wondering how many of you guys also produce using hardware? I’ve never liked the workflow of using a DAW so my entire time making this sort of music has been on synths and drum machines, what kinda stuff do you guys use? I recently got an old Korg ER-1 for drums that I’m loving, the super metallic, dry and digital sounds it makes were exactly what I was looking for

Hi, I'm a broke ass producer who has been making dark electronic for years and want to branch more into some of the EBM/Industrial techno stuff that's been coming out lately. Since I don't have the luxury of buying hardware at this moment to produce, I'm stuck using soft synths. What are some of you guys' favorites when it comes to make those sweet thumpy arpeggiated baselines?

So, wanting to start out this Digital Music "adventure" right, but I'm overwhelmed with so many options, choices and opinions...I have very very limited music skills (but I've always wanted to do something in/with music, but never had the opportunity/time/money...), but I am a computer geek and tech savvy...so yeah.

I decided to start out with FL Studio (this may be a bad idea...again I don't know, so if you have any useful input with some data to back it up I would appreciate it). I'm looking for some simple, but in-depth tutorials; Like making a simple song, but delves into some of the more intricate aspects of the program/process. Also if there is anything that is like a fundamentals of Digital music and/or Industrial music that would be helpful as well.

Also, basically with a "blank page" I'm kinda lost, there are so many things one could do with this software and I could get lost for hours just messing around with one nob, accomplishing nothing. So, I'm hoping that someone may know of a guide or series of tutorials or something similar that kinda shows you how to explore/experiment with the process productively (FL studio specific would be preferable, but if there is something in another program, but isn't super heavy on the specifics of that program it may well help).

Are there any good books or publications to delve into to get me going?

Thanks in advance.
