I have melodies coming to my head and I know that the path is Ableton Live or Fruity Loops.
1) Get Mac? Is this better than Windows PC for this (I've heard that there is no delay on Mac or something like this)
2) I will learn the piano but I will do it by myself. I know that a teacher is better and I may do it later on. "Piano/keyboard for dummies" - is this a good choice? What are the better choices (this the best particular book or books, or this author or publisher - this would be the answer that I would be looking for)?
3) "Music theory for dummies" - ok chocie. Or what is better or the best, just like the question 2.
4) What is the best brand for the keyboard (controller I think that this is called). I think that I would like to have max number of keys possible, this is probably 84 (this makes sense)? M-Audio - is this it? Or what else?
5) External music card - I need this for Mac or for a Windows PC too? What is the best brand or are the best brands (again, I want to start looking in the best places, I am not sure if I will buy any of these; "money well spent" will be the thinking, so I can spend but for something that makes sense)
6) Monitors and headphones - what brands here. What are the parameters of monitors and how could I look at this. What would be needed for me and what could be too much? Also headphones, something with good parameters would be the best. "Do it good" thinking, I can save the $$$$$ for this.
7) Get Komplete 11 Ultimate, or something like this, and go from there? This would make sense? This may be too much, I am not sure, but we are doing it good....
Other brands to look at are Arturia, Akai, I know that. Any other info would be GREAT. Like what websites, authors, publishers, YouTube channels, edu sources, forums, FB groups, anything... Do it good. Maybe even special type of furniture for the PC.
So good pc (if Mac needed), good software, good equipment, good books, find the best sources online (maybe paid cources too) and go from there...
I am already collecting some great info from other sources and I will add it here later on (like musicTheory.net, scottsBassLessons.com)
Thanks!
