Hello,

It's my first post.

I project to compose electro music.

I already compose acoustic music and I've found for that some tools I like (Sample modeling, superior drummer 2, Fxpension BFD 3)

But for electro music I don't know the good softwares.

I've already found some synth I like (U-He Diva or Spectratonic Omnisphere 2) and now I look for electro beat.

Something like superior drummer 2, Fxpension BFD 3 but with electro sound.

Something with sound like "analogic" synth with very deep sound.
I prefere software than hardware but sound is very very important.

Something with a lot of loops (MIDI loop) that I can use immediatly and manipulate as I wish.
(The question between MIDI or Audio is always in debate with myself. MIDI is more easy to manipulate but, one more time, sound is the most important)

I look for one (or more) among the best software but I know nothing in this kind of music.

Can you tell me what are those tools used by every profesionnals musicians that I don't know?


PS. I'm French and I'm sorry if my language terms are not always appropriate to be understood as I would like.

welcome
I'd say it depends on several factors, including: kind of music you want to do, what feels most comfortable to you, what works well with your setup/DAW/VST host, what works well with your computer/audio card, what fits your budget, etc.

I have test driven some VSTs/SoftSynths, but I prefer the hands on experience of hardware. I haven't been to KVR in a while, but the last time I looked they had a good search engine that might be useful for finding VSTs/Softsynths to test drive.

A few years ago I got some free versions of Native Instruments' softsynths. People used to like NI's stuff; I am not sure now because I don't keep track of the latest news.

If you have softsynths you like but just want electronic drumkits and other sounds, you might be able to import samples/sound fonts/etc. if the softsynths you have allow that.

I am not sure any of this is helpful, but I did want to welcome you. Perhaps others here can be more helpful by recommending what they use for electro-beats.

Steve

The question between hard and soft is still in my head and perhaps for eternity.

I heard (in youtube only) the new OB6 and my heart beat more quickly for this stuff. I like to hear the andromeda too. I like large sound make you feel you are in space (certainly cause by the movies).

I know with a very good sound the idea of song arrive quickly and with a medium sound you don't have good idea and you have to work more.
But I know with hardware is more complicate to produce. It's not as easy as software.

I need to make song quickly because I'm traditional musician and jazz player. I used to make music in the moment and not work for weeks on a song.

For now I'm not sure of my choices.
I don't want to spent a lot of money and use a hardware synth to complicated and I don't want to lose my time with soft if I can't find the good sound make me inspired.

For now I choise soft. It's not expensive and easy to use.


About "electro beat". I use cubase 7. I have ableton 9 too but but I don't realy like it. I have a horizontal writing. Maybe I'll try logic pro someday.

I like the beats in ableton because there is some proposals and you can change them quickly.
I look for something like that. A lot of proposals that I can change quickly.

MIDI or Audio ?

For traditional drum I like Audio but for "electro" I'm not sure it's useful.
