How to Compose Music with a Computer, Composing at The Beginning

The Problem:

Maybe you and I are similar. Here was my situation.

I found myself sitting at an electric piano, teaching my daughter to play piano. It occurred to me that I often enjoyed silently creating music in my mind. Sometimes in daytime humming, other times as I drift into sleep.

I grew up playing Piano, Drums, Guitar, Trumpet, Sax, Violin and the Recorder in grade 3 lol. So the music was always there, but without the instruments, I was rather lost to create music.

I always wanted a way to record many instruments in one song. For example, to compile a symphony one instrument at a time.

The Hypothesis:

With all the technology that exists, there must be a cost effective way to make music on my computer using my keyboard at home.

The Experiment:

Create a home studio, dedicated to one person, recording infinite instruments via keyboard and computer.

The Solution:

Research, research, research. In these articles, I tell you step by step how I built a home studio. I provide links to the videos, blogs and websites that helped me achieve my goal.

I have nothing to sell here. Just want to pay it forward by possibly helping a like minded person get their start

Here is a quick ‘shout out’ to one very important company that helped inspire me throughout. Spitfire Audio.
