Hey all,
I've been interested in starting up a musical project for a while. I play guitar in a band with a couple of friends, but as college approaches I'll have to part with them. That being said, I've really been into electronic music - electro and house in particular. I want to start making my own, though I'm not sure where to start.
I'm going to be hooking a synth to my computer and running Cubase or something like that. It came with a RP55 Digitech pedal, which was a gift, so I might as well make do with it. I'm having a bit of trouble deciding on a synth. At the moment, I'm looking at Roland's Gaia SH-01. I tried it out in a store and I had fun with it. It's not as pricey as some larger ones either and I like using the sliders to create my own sounds.
Hm, maybe I do have a rough idea where to start, but do those of you who are more knowledgeable in the area have any tips or suggestions?

Along with analog synths and other things like that, I would recommend getting some good VST Plugins. Like these:
Nexus2
Sylenth1 (yes its suppost to be spelled like that)
Massive (Or really anything from Native instrements)
Vanguard
And a few others. Also If your looking for good drums check out Loopmasters.
