Good stuff! I started getting in to this at the start of the year. Already had an old, dusty MicroKORG and MIDI interface to use it as a controller, but recently splashed out on a bigger controller as the Korg's tiny keys were hurting me - plus, I wanted something bigger to get better at piano! A couple of free soft synths I'd recommend are Surge XT, and Vital. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

In the case of synthesizers, things are much cheaper - if you put in the effort yourself. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ is excellent and could even be used if you wanted to make a more retro-style soundtrack.

What is a good resource for getting started with trackers? Im currently messing around with https://milkytracker.org/ to determine if I want to invest in a tracker like dirtwave M8. Any thoughts on training or good tutorials to learn the concepts around composition/creation? Thank you Reddit community? Source: about 1 year ago
