First off I would like to say what an awesome idea onlinedj.com is. I find it amazing that somebody finally started a community for the "want to be serious at it, but dont know where to start or have the money so we will just sit and be confused crowd".
Anyway, I used rebirth 1.0 when it first came out and learned to use it well. After that i messed around with some other programs and slapped together some samples i pumped out of rebirth to make my first track. Then I decided to get a bit more complicated and i assembled my music by using the 303 synths in rebirth which i exported as loops. Since I got sick of the 303 sound, i used other programs to twist and manipulate the sounds of the 303. I collected various drum samples from the net and put them into rebirth using the modpacker. So I was left with an array of tunes and drums in cutup loops that i exported out of rebirth. Then i took the loops and stuck them in the rack in Cool Edit Pro. Once I had it done, it sounded pretty professional. I let a small label hear it and they told me I had good potential and when I told them i made it all on my pc, they were even more impressed.
So my question now is that where do I go from here? My first track not too great musically, but put together solid with a professional feel. I twisted the 303s with soo many filters, in every way possible to make it sound different from one another but i need other soft synths that are simple to use like rebirth and also produce a near professional quality sound. Right now i looked into the FS 404 in fruity loops which i think is great. Also i am learning how to use Dream Station. I use Acid, Sound Forge, Stomper, Cool Edit Pro, Fruity, Rebirth for my stuff now. I have no real hardware because i dont have money to spend on it nor do i have any idea what to buy. If i do buy anything, it would be a synth to produce the "horns" in all the hard house and hard trance songs. For example ill use a popular song that everyone might know, the horns in Jonah - SSssshh Be Quite or every Johnny Vicious or Plasmic Honey track. The FS404 from FruityLoops comes close but not close enough to the sound. Is there anyother softsynth that does? Also I need to create effects like wind and air effects. Is there a program that does this? Mainly I need a list of soft synth programs that has a graphical interface (like a keyboard on the screen like rebirth) that will allow me to program my notes to create the tunes. And the synths in the program cant be 303s because im sick of them. I need something like rebirth except you would replace the 303s with a huge bank of synhts except just 303s.
Thanks in advance,
