Q: hi bill, i think i need some advice. i have a synthesizer that i would like to use to make my own music. the problem is that i don't have a daw besides audacity, which i have heard has limitations. almost everyone i look up to uses some variation of logic, but i feel like completely switching to a new os would be even more of a problem. speaking of that, i really don't even have a usable computer because mine is very bad and freezes up trying to load a browser let alone handle a daw or a video editor. anyway i guess i am here to see if you have any advice? i have all these ideas but no way to document them really, and it's getting to be a lot
A: this could be a blessing. maybe you can find 1 sound in the keyboard and then learn to just play it while singing at the same time. and then record that on 1 microphone, like the one on your phone. there's a lot you probably want to learn about yourself and how you make music, and usually it's best to just start with the simplest thing that's available. you don't even know what you want yet, and the advantage with using exactly what you have is it's probably a unique set of tools that aren't exactly what any other person has. you're gonna have a unique sound automatically. it reminds me of that guy that lived next to a spatula, so he made spatula music. there's not very much spatula music out there, so, someone's gotta do it
