I am very interested at making home electronica, with beats, loops, synthesized bits and all, I just don't know where to start. For example, I just don't know what the instruments/tools are called. I really like the sounds and overall framework of the music on Thom Yorke's Eraser, and would liek to make something similar, in a way. Also, the sort of early ambient work Aphex Twin did on "Selected Ambient Works" is just about what I'm looking for. I think I just need an introduction to the scene, but the musical equipment I don't know about. Can someone help me? ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

I'd go for Reason too, but only because it's what I use and have found it to be pretty versatile.
You can down load a demo of the software from the Propellerheads website: http://www.propellerheads.se/ - http://www.propellerheads.se/
To add live instruments and vocals to any music you make using it you would also need some PC audio studio software.

If running a Mac, the obvious choice would be Logic with Ultrabeat. Although it's sort of on the expensive side...

A Drum machine and synthesizers!
I think there are some free downloads to those online somewhere, links anyone? -------------

You probably want to look into sequencers and sampling equitment, though nowadays you can probably just use only computer programs (I have no idea wich ones) ------------- who hiccuped endlessly trying to giggle but wound up with a sob |
