Hello all!
I was hoping you kind folks out in idm-land would be able to help me
out. After years of listening to more or less idm-related music, I've
decided that I'd like to try my hand at it! Only thing is, I really have no
idea as to what sort of equipment I'd want to be investing in in order to
get started. Essentially, my reference points for the sounds I'd hope to be
able to produce would be along the lines of the new Boards of Canada CD, or
some older Autechre (circa 'Amber'). Any suggesstions as to what I should
be looking at to start - and then build from there? I've had the
opportunity to play around a bit with a friend's copy of ReBirth and I have
to say that it was somewhat impressive, but maybe a little bit limited for
what I want to do - I'm not really sure. Any help would be most
appreciated!
