Mixing music sounds utterly fascinating. Good for you! Could you spend a few keystrokes explaining how it all works? I'd love to know more about it!
Haha - I don't know that myself yet!
Last night I installed the progs my friend sent me, and then I decided to "just try" Fruity Loops (lol, sounds like candy!) ... and of course, I got absorbed and was there for the next hour.
The upshot being that, with trial and error, I managed to make a few seconds' worth of sound that no human drummer would ever be able to produce
but am not much wiser about the prog!
Still, no doubt a thorough read of the online instructions will shed some light! *ever optimistic*
All the channels, mixers and equalizers are a complete mystery to me, and I am still totally puzzled about why I can input certain things to the piano roll and not others, and how to select single notes from "keys" as opposed to chords... but it's all part of the learning curve and stops me from going senile!
What I'm really more interested in is recording my own stuff (although no doubt I'll be using FX too, to put in drum lines, bass and stuff, and mix layers) - and I can't do that until I have my soundcard, and that uses a different prog which I haven't opened yet.
Anyway, I'm really excited about this although it might take me while to learn it!
I'm actually quite technically-minded, but I need the time to really read up properly, and time is something I just don't have at the moment.

:win:
and a mic and lead aren't too expensive, so... as soon as next payday arrives, it's all systems go for me
