Hey, y'all! I would love to hear what everyone's planning to use/using to make their songs.

Hardware:

  • Piano (out of tune)
  • Guitar (can be tuned)
  • Blue Yeti mic


Software:

  • Bosca Ceoil

Well, Ray Nexus, your choice of instruments is really interesting. I'm not that much into electronic music so maybe usisng NDS is more common than I think :) And if I may ask, what do you use the Palm Tungsten for? Looking forward to learning some new stuff about music making.

Well, I never learned to play an instrument, so in my case I don't have anything left but to love electronic music (? Hahaha

I use the palm to use sunvox

I have realized that I need a very simple and restrictive setup to stop me from tinkering with the tech more than I actually make music, so my main music production setup is simply an iPad with GarageBand 馃槀

I also use an iRig keys I/O as microphone and guitar/line interface and keyboard for my awesomely overlayed synths and whatnots that I've never actually gotten around to making in any song so far :p

Yes. I'm quite the analog musician, but I want to use this challenge to try out making more "produced" songs than just me and my guitar. Let's see how that goes :)

Very cool setup mate :D

Try use nanoloop, it's simple and really cool soft to make songs :)

I personally use Mixcraft 6 for almost everything. I know a lot of people don't seem to care for it but it's the program I am most used to. If I want to record any vocals, I have a Rode NT1 XLR mic and interface, but that sometimes adds a lot of time and hassle - it's much faster to produce songs for me when it's entirely digital!

I'll try something, I use FL Studio but I'll stick with it's stock plugins or free vst. It'll be fun and I'll be able to share the Zip file so you guys can open it, you'll only need to download the free vsts I list
