A Lesson in Experimentation

As one of the early steps towards making my own music, i tried looking for available software in greenhills. I've heard of cakewalk, soundforge and acid during my band days. But i was intrigued by one cd i saw. It was called Dance eJay Virtual Music Studio.



It claims that you could: RECORD your own sounds and CREATE a song in five minutes. Ok so i decided on tripping on it. I bought it and loaded it in my pc. After a few minutes of tinkering, all i can say is olats. It was quite hard to make a decent track. It's saving grace however would be the drum machine. I made some cool beats with that thing. Anyway, i'll try to upload some later.
here's the screencap

Ok, so the lesson i learned here is that i should never trust something i haven't heard before. I'd definitely have to research some more in the net. ..And one more thing, piracy aint cool. I'd definitely have to invest to get quality stuff.

My next step is to get some advice from the mac imusicians.. i'll update you on this.
