Anyone into making music with a computer?
I'm not talking about recording a guitar. I'm talking about using a DAW and virtual instruments to record or make music. I've had a passing interest for about 10 years or so, but I just got into it more seriously. With a decent computer, the virtual instruments are surprisingly realistic nowadays... especially with a MIDI keyboard which aren't that expensive. And their are a lot of free plugins or plugins that are really cheap. I have literally 1000's of different sounds/instruments now and it's fun to fool around with.
I just kind of did this on the fly and I don't really know what I'm doing yet, but the quality of the sound is great for a computer: Once again I just did this on the fly and didn't plan out any chord changes, so it's a little choppy. I also don't really play piano... only guitar.

Nice... I composed a few piano pieces on Cakewalk about 15 years ago that I had in my head. I didn't use a keyboard; I input each note one by one as I heard it in my head, which as you can imagine takes a LONG time. I'll load some up on SoundCloud and post them here...

Nice guys , It is interesting how vast a universe midi and Virtual Instruments can be.
Yes I have been dabbling ever since I took an elective course in "Making Beats in Reason" as part of my online Masters Certificate in Pro Tools I took at Berklee College Of Music 6 years ago Here are a couple of short compositions, and I do use a midi keyboard an Akai MPK 249 This one done in ProTools using the bundled VI's and Sampler And this one done in Studio One (during a trial period) with bundled VI's

I use Fruity Loops, by the way. It's not that expensive.
Did you guys know though that Sonar is now free though?

This is a song I wrote and arranged a few years ago using a midi keyboard. Lead vocal is the only analog component.

No have to check that. I have 8.5, which is probably why I'm having issues with Win10
