I'm sure this gets asked here almost everyday, but I have some very specific concerns/questions that I need help with.
So I've been wanting to get started in making music for a long time, but have never really had the time/money to do so. Well, now I have all the time in the world...but still lack the funds. So this is where things get a little tricky.
I'm wanting to make something along the lines of Industrial/Goth/Metal(I know, difficult with DAWs)/Electronica, but I don't know where to start or what to get that is good/decent, within my severely limited financial constraints. I already have a good computer, with multiple monitors, I have a decent Mic (Blue Yeti Pro); but I'm not certain about the actual "music making" components to get. Specifically a Midi controller and any associated gear.
I know that as far as DAWs go its a matter of personal preference and budget, with a little on what genre/sound you are looking for. So that will take some experimentation on my part, but I just don't know what gear to get...
So I was wondering if you find folks could suggest some inexpensive "starter" gear (that may be up-gradable/reusable or otherwise money saving), that is not going to be problematic or break on me easily.
Also if you know of good places to get said gear, or where to look (I've been browsing craigslist periodically), I would really appreciate that as well.
Thanks in advance.
