Hi,
I'd like to start making some EDM. My background in music is basic keyboard playing (we have a piano in our house) and guitar - mostly rhythm with a bit of lead. All self taught. I'm not a musical genius.
I've spent a few weeks working on Garage Band with the built in samples and loops and would like to start using other sources and while doing that move over to another tool.
Initially I was thinking of Ableton, since there are lots of tutorials on YouTube.
I have been thinking of getting the Akai Professional APC Key 25 and Akai Professional APC Mini. This comes with Ableton Lite.
My only hesitation is - right now I'm new and I don't know how I'd like to work. In the future I may decide to try Bitwig, Logic X or Reason. If I chose equipment such as the APC range, will I still be able to use them with other packages such as the ones mentioned?
If not what would you recommend?
Thanks!
