Oh gooood for you (Christian bale voice). That's cool!

Thanks friend. Have you decided what you were doing for a software yet? If you haven’t, I would suggest you try GarageBand on iOS to see if you like that type of stuff first, before spending $
Gonna stick with ableton live lite after nabbing my serial number from buying Note. It's the one I've heard most about, so seems like good call.
Only spent a half hour with it thus far 😅
I'll be happy if I can cobble together a minute of something decent in a week or two's time. Wish I could just dive in knowing how it works already ...
Ah that’s not a bad idea. Pay 8$ for note which gives you a code for live lite. I find note a bit restrictive in the sense that I can’t add notes directly to the grid. Hopefully they add this in a future update. Other than that it’s pretty decent
Note looks cool enough from the demo videos, can see myself using it on iPad a bit. Figured it's limited but I'm so often on iPad/phone and lazy about laptop, that it may be what I use most lol
Understandable. I like to be away from computer screens (iPad or any screen) to play music. That’s what I love about the DAWless approach the most. Turning knobs, pressing buttons and hearing the music
That's sort of the dream. Must resist urge to buy hardware I won't use... didn't tell you but I also bought a push years ago, touched it literally one time. Eventually gave it away to friend. Kinda wishing I still had it now sigh
Had a push in the past. Long ago. Issue I had with it was that you needed the computer for it to work. And also I find that having too many options (with Ableton for example) thwarts creativity. For me, I find that the more limitations/restrictions I’ve had, the better the inspiration and music
I totally understand you. That stuff is expensive. You need to be sure you’re gonna use it before putting money into that hobby
Yeah, there's nothing live lite's restrictions are holding me back from achieving at this point, so gonna keep it simple for now. If hobby sticks, maybe add in a lil toy hardware little by little. Have fooled around with some such things friend has and it's super fun, and really a more natural experience to have real knobs and such
8$ live lite is a great way to dip your toes in. Smart
Totally agree. Playing the music as opposed to programming it with mouse and keyboard. Phew
