aye, I've been composing music ever since I started gaming. Grand games, like Final fantasy VIII or chrono trigger started to get me interested into composing and I've been composing ever since (more actively in the last couple of years). I started out with just stuffing chords after each other on my keyboard (I was actually quite proud of my C|G|am|FG| progression[grin]) and playing other pieces. After some years I found out you could also compose music on computers[grin], and I started out with Anvil Studio, and started Guitar playing. In about a month or two I switched to guitar pro (don't know if anyone knows GP (Guitar Pro) to create simple midi's. I'm a programmer too, and midi's are way smaller). Now, I'd like to get proffesional. Well...At least further than midi level. After surviving some time on this forums I've heard terms like samples and mastering without even knowing what they are (yes yes, you may laught at me[smile]). I wouldn'd mind investing money in it, even if that means getting a job to get enough money (I know programs are extremely expensive), but my main concern is: Where to start? Hope you guys can help. -Stenny [Edited by - stenny on July 23, 2006 5:22:18 AM]

Thanks Sean. Are these OS specific?

I've tried FLStudio once but it's nothing for me.

I'm interested in the new Macs that can run both Windows and Mac progs. This, for me, might be an upgrade I'd make in a few years. This way I could have access to both set of tools.

Does anyone use one of those setups now? If so, are you happy with it?
