Basically, I’ve been working exclusively and extremely amateurishly within Ableton and it’s accompanying MIDI library for a few years. I have upwards of 150 demos and half finished arrangements. Obviously Ableton’s sample library has its limitations in quality, in terms of the majority of it just sounding weak and flat. Very bedroom sounding. At risk of comfirming my extreme amateurishness, I wanted to ask how people get good sounds? I don’t currently own a MIDI controller keyboard, at this time I’m still a click and drag kinda guy. Do these keyboards come with sample drum and synth libraries? I mean, I’ve checked out amateur producers of hip hop and such on soundcloud, a lot of whom just throw things together for fun and who work with nothing more than a keyboard as far as I can tell, yet their pieces still have this “real song” quality to them, if you know what I mean. What am I missing, besides a clue?
