Hi everyone,
I'm Michelle from the UK. I've always written songs (pop, ballads, indie etc) but love electronic music too, so have recently taken the plunge into production, mainly so I can have more input into the creative/recording process, and also to improve my technical skills. I use Ableton with a Mac Mini, Fostex monitors, E-MU soundcard & EM-U and Akai controllers - a starter kit essentially, but I will upgrade at the right time. I'm definitely a 'get the most out of what you got' musician!
I recently released the first track I have produced and mixed myself, so will be heading for the mixing clinic for some feedback in due course. Just surfing around the forum it seems a very helpful, friendly place so look forward to dropping in again. And I'll just nip off now to reply to the guy confused about what to do with loops - I'm no expert but I'm happy to pass on some thoughts/ideas to consider.
Good to meet you all.
