Hey guys, I just was looking for some advice on what to look for/steps to take as far as how to get started coming from my background/and what I'm wanting to do w/ the program.
I'm mostly a classically trained musician, focusing almost exclusively on solo piano. I was way too much of a purist on just the piano growing up, and I never showed any interest or discipline in actually understanding the electronic composing/recording/production side of things. I'm trying to right my wrongs nowadays and I would like to use my musical skill set on the computer. I've only recently spent some months learning how to record and mix my own live recordings through an interface and Studio One 4, which I'm still learning about.
The only real experience I've had composing on a computer without adding live instruments or recorded tracks is working with Finale 2008 for a few years off and on. It's very comfortable to me but it's obviously outdated, and from the looks of things, serious DAWs aren't as old school or simple as something like finale.
But I know that you can assign nice VST instruments to midi composed tracks so.. if I'm most comfortable just composing on a score can I actually make nice electronic music that is appropriate for projects/business/my own production just sequencing midis, assigning VST instruments and I guess mixing it appropriately? Or should I really just learn/start messing with one of the popular DAW programs that people generally use? I'm not trying to limit myself to classical instruments or just electronic orchestral music, I'm open to composing many styles of music. I'm sorry I'm very new to this whole thing but I'm trying to figure out what's right for me and I'm trying to ask around.
This is generally the kind of stuff I'm composing: https://www.instagram.com/p/Br9B1vNBQCm/
