quick help?:)

i have 2 cars cause the accident was caused by my step brother and my parents gave me his cars after he put me in the hospital

Nice step brother!!

but anyway the komplete will work on a mac? and why use 2 daws? just for more sounds? and with logic is it easy to figure out and make sweet stuff because right now im on my toshiba using fls and its not giving me the intensity i want but thats probably from my inexpirience?

Komplete will work on mac yes,komplete isn't a daw it is a set of tools like synths,drum machines,samplers and reaktor which is a complete modular system so can be pretty much anything you want lol.Logic is a daw,so no you will only be using one daw.
No logic will not be easy to learn,fl studio is just as apt at making music but it does come down to experience and learning.You will not put decent music out straight a way on any daw with no training or self acquired knowledge because it is simply just not that simple lol.That is why i mentioned college,your 15 now so start to watch decent master class videos and practice practice practice so by the time you make college you will be at a level you will really take something from it.
There is a wealth of knowledge on the net regarding the subject and i'm living proof you can self teach with a little bit of drive and ambition.

haha and what is reacktor? my biggest concern is spending the money and not figuring it all out. thanks for the help by the way! ive had plenty of XP with shit like guitar, bass, and electric drums cause ive been playing those for about 6 years, and i may add them into my preformance to be unique;) and with all this equipment, im also working on setting up a metal band "global Genocide" and would these help me in anyway for that?

Fucking hell man i being bombarded,i'm kind of regretting getting sarcastic now lol
Reaktor is a modular system where you can build effects/instruments on a modular level.It is very very very deep and to dive in to the mechanics of the system you need to be pretty good at certain aspects of maths.It is very easy to load instruments/effects created by other people and use straight away but the bit where you can build your own is not for the faint hearted.
In all honesty i'm pretty sure you will buy what you want regardless of the advice i give but take heed with this bit,if you buy komplete learn massive first,it is the most simple out of the instruments and will probably give you the most in the understanding department + there is a fuck ton of tutorials out there for someone like yourself.
Then move on to fm8,fm synthesis is a bit more difficult but for tearing basslines it is a simple process,see learn massive then there will be parts of fm8 that make sense straight from the get go.
Absynth next which is my favourite but again can be a bit difficult to learn as the user interface is a bit of a cock at first.For me this synth is the most powerful of the 3.
Kontakt and battery are easy to learn to be honest,the basics are pretty much there in the manual.Learning the harder techniques that come in the sampler domain is just an experience thing and again watching tutorials.
All i can say is you will be at the same place with any daw you use,be it cubase,logic,reason,live.....rahrahrahrahrahrah
It all comes down to how far your willing to push yourself,a lot of money to give up because its not as easy as you first thought isn't it?
If you have some music theory then it will bode well so having a bit of instrument playing in your background you all ready have a head start and yes you can record a band into logic but that would involve mics,mixing desk and a whole lot more that i can't help you on because i have never bothered learning so on your own on that one.

I think i have been as informative with this post as i can be so are we done???????? I feel like i may need brain surgery in a minute.

shit dude hahaha i didnt expect you to answer all of my questions but to be honest your by far the most help ive had with this, but basicly it just comes down to me and time? that makes sense haha i did expect it to be easy cause i first heard people on the mayhemfestival board talking shit saying its only pushing buttons, which sounded sweet to me, but im deffinently going to get into this shit! one last question though, all of these things i wanna buy, will they be able to put into my daw so its more organised? sorry if that doesnt make sense but idk how else to word it

[lloydy]

I have not a fucking clue what you mean???????
Well komplete is software that opens in your daw or out of your daw so yeah if thats what you meant.
Now the divs over on mayhemfestival are just that divs,if it was about pushing buttons then why the fuck are you over here asking.Making decent music to a level that decent labels will be interested is not an easy practice to learn.I agree once your at that level things become more fluid but just pushing buttons is a bit of a joke really.
Anyway back to your question,install your daw of choice first and then install komplete.Once komplete is installed start up your daw and it will automatically find the plugins in your system and load into the daw for you to use whenever you want.
I mean we shouldn't really be having this conversation untill you know what you doing really.I don't normally help out this much to be honest with noobs but you my friend need some serious guidance before you blow your money on shit you can't use!!!lLol

[digital sequence]

wait i lied i have one more, which macbook do you use? cause im looking right now and im not finding anything that says the ram space so do you know if the 13 inch 2.9 core has that much? and thanks man but i think ive got a good idea know, you did answer the question about the daws so i think you did know what i meant;) i have a very good basic idea but i wanted a more "in depth" of things and you my good sir have helped a shitton!!!!

[lloydy]

One last thing leave the virus ti until you learn synthesis,excision-esque sounds would not be easy to archive using the virus and i struggle to programme it properly so you will be like a lamb to the slaughter.
It is not a simple synth and has many many features that are not for beginners.Learn komplete first then move onto the virus,yes it's a beast but also not really aimed at noobs.

haha that i did learn on there forums, i think thatll be one of the last pieces i buy, espessially since its so expensive haha it sounds like you have some of the same stuff i was looking at

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkk aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ddddddduuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkkkkkkkk!!

Do you get to many e numbers or something?Tell your family message from me,cut your intake of orange juice or smarties lol!

You can't buy my mac book pro no more,i'm the last generation.I run the 17inch i7 which you cannot buy.
I think they build a quad core 15inch or something like that.Just remember ram is just as important as the processor spec.Don't rush buying and make sure you are 100% sure you know what your getting.Just hit me up with questions but try not to be as sporadic with them.I am willing to help when i get the time.
Just remember don't treat the board like a FaQ because you will get flamed if your not willing to teach yourself so read all the manuals and practice.If you buy logic i will send you some links for decent tuts and stuff but again will only be willing to help you help yourself.

[lloydy]

Yes i have a decent set up but do not get the time i want on it with work and that.It's a mine field your entering and you really want to be as prepared as possible.

[digital sequence]

this is why i havnt paid for anything yet;) sorry for asking so much shit haha but whenever i google something this site is one of the tops so i figured why not get tought by people who do it. but serious one last thing to ask, i know some softwares can only be installed to 1 computer, what about apple pro logic and komplete

[lloydy]

It says in their agreement when you install two i think.So yeah i have everything on my laptop and my tower.
Komplete you just register using the registration tool.Logic you just enter a code now.
Anyway why how many macs you thinking of buying lol?
Thats it now,fuck off and read then come back when you have a bit more of an idea.Just look at cubase,logic(maybe ableton live),mac or pc then come back to me with a better set of questions and a bit more of a clue what way you are going.

[digital sequence]

i dont see how i didnt say which way i was going, i though i was pretty specific i just wanted to know a few technical things, but if you dont like answering questions, leave and let someone else help me out

[lloydy]

??????
What the fuck,i think i've been more than helpful!
I know your 15 but learn when someone is joking maybe?
Go about half way through the last page and you was about as sporadic as they come with ideas of what you wanted to do.
No worry's anyway if you feel you know where you going good luck to you!

[digital sequence]

hahaha not my fault!;) you keep flipping the sarcasm on and off haha itd be easier to tell if we wernt on the computer, you have been more than helpful i thpught i just pissed you off so i was like well you can always leave, but for th emac comment, my mom has a desktop on in the house so i was debating buying pro and ultimate first and using them on that before i buy my laptop, and i asked so many cause i didnt expect you to answer them all hahahaha you my freind are helpful and seem to know your shit! and i am reading on this shit as we talk on these boards haha thats why more uestions keep coming up

[lloydy]

you keep flipping the sarcasm on and off haha

I am English,sarcasm is second nature.
Anyway i'm done,going to bed like i said hit me up when your ready and then we can discuss.

Have you actually played with writing music with computers/sequencers before? Its a bit different than writing on guitars etc, definitely have a play around before committing all this money to something. You might prefer traditional music writing or whatever. Even tho you have this lump sum try and spend it wisely, you dont need the best of everything to begin with - start small and develop a taste for what you actually want to achieve with each piece of hardware/software. Its also less frustrating learning a few things at a time than everything all at once. Good luck with it all and hope your surgery/accident didnt fuck you up too hard
