I assume it's only proper that I contribute to the community by posting some of my works here.... I'm going to have to set up another myspace music account (personality conflicts a couple of years ago caused me to delete practically every web account I had).
I use Frooty Loops, Acid Pro, Magix Music Maker, and Cakewalk....
I'll be back with the page posting
FL AND Acid? Nice!
I'm a Logic Pro 9 man myself. Also use Reason, still version 4, but it suits my needs. I'm working up some space/ambient textures both in Reason using Synclavier-generated sounds and on the Synclavier itself. When I finish one of the pieces I'm doing now, I'm going to switch over to my Roland alpha Juno 1 for my next track. I want to start by sampling the sounds I want to use but overdub using the real thing for the final product.
You mentioned a myspace music account. I've been thinking about doing that myself, and I just haven't had a chance to do it or any material worth putting up yet. Personally, I like using youtube. My "Quantum Spring" is just a still pick from PowerPoint. What might be more interesting would be making videos of me actually working on my pieces or--even better--for the work I'm doing now a slideshow of Hubble imagery to go along with the atmosphere. A video of me actually working on my music would be cool because of the history behind the keyboard I use, as there are a lot of people into that kind of music but who don't have access to the synth/workstation I use. The thing I like about youtube is the community to me seems a bit broader and yet, I dunno, "safer" than myspace. I like being able to see where in the world the most interest is coming from and how people search for and find my music. If and when I ever decide to do an album release, it will be useful to already have a target audience to drive sales.
Looking forward to hearing your stuff!
