Hello HomeRecording community.
I'm an absolute beginner in fact of music and I had some question on getting started.
First of all I have a quite advanced knowledge in the computer and IT field (both hardware and software), but I have a little knowledge in music production. For example, I know how to use Audacity and I have a good ear for putting together music pieces but other than that there's not much.
The problem is I don't have/don't know the tools to produce music and I would like to know and learn something about it. My goal is to slowly start creating different types of music such as trailer music (epic, cinematic, dramatic), advertisement music (happy or motivating tunes), maybe a bit of Hip Hop and soft rock and other genres too if I feel I have the creativity for it.
I saw Native Instrument's suite for music production called Komplete 9 and it looked quite interesting to me. Here's the begginer's questions:
1) How do you use Komplete? I'm not looking for a tutorial but I was more curious about the workflow, like how do you record/put together music with that suite and so on (Only with Komplete? Only with your computer? With a MIDI Keyboard? etc.).
2) Does it take a long time to learn to use/master softwares like Komplete?
3) Do I need external softwares such as Audacity or other DAW's in order to work with Komplete or can I do everything from inside Komplete? (this connects to question 1)
4) What hardware would be recommended to have in order to use Komplete/create music? I guess a MIDI Keyboard is a must? I dont' know how do you record music with Komplete (see question 1) but I guess a MIDI Keyboard is used in the process... Anything else I would need? Looking answers in this project.
5) What are the computer's requirements in order to run everything flawlessly? I guess an Audio Card, a strong processor and lots of RAM are ideal right? And probably and SSD would help a lot, but I'm looking suggestion from more experienced people. If you want to share your setup it would be great!
It would be a huge help if you could answer these question clearly, and give me an insight of what I need to know. Remember I'm a total beginner, so please don't take too many things for granted.
Thanks a lot in advance, hope to receive answers!
