Howdy!

Hi folks, another n00b here :)

I'm a heavy metal guitarist and sometime synth dabbler, who has recently rediscovered his love of dance music (I was heavily into Techno in my youth!). I've got a few synth related toys but I'm about to get serious about things and invest in a Virus (still undecided about which model, although I tried both a TI and a Classic and I'm finding it hard to justify spending the extra dough! I'm also looking into a used Indigo).

I just thought I'd sign up and lurk for a bit, and hopefully pick up some programming and production tips from you lovely people!

[Merlot]

welcome! Good luck on your virus quest and feel free to ask any sorts of questions. :lol:

[Hollowcell]

Welcome! :D

welcome, and spend the extra on the TI. Assuming that OS 1.1 fixes everything it will be a solid solid synth, Hard to argue against the wavetables and hypersaw on top of everything the virus classic can do.

Welcome!

If it were me I'd pick up a used C....I know everyone here is hoping OS 1.1 will fix their troubles, but I seriously doubt it will.

See ya around...

Welcome aboard buddy

- my vote goes for a used virus c :wink:

[Drammy]

Welcome Danny,

I would also suggest a Virus C - especially when there are these new VST editors for them, although it doesn't look like you use a sequencer?

And someone here is parting with an XL :)

You definately want an XL - LOL

I'm using Cubase SX at the moment. Mostly I record MIDI from my K-Station into that, then use the piano roll to fix the timing and velocity mishaps! I might hold fire on my purchase until TIOS 1.1's been out for a couple of weeks, just to see how things progress. Also, I might be able to get a very good price on a Classic, so that might sway my choice too.

And I'll pass on the XL - not enough knobs ;)

[Danny Vandal]

P.S. Cheers for the warm welcome everybody! You're much friendlier than the Harmony Central lot ;)

[Danny Vandal]

Well, I think I've made a decision - I'll go for the C and use the money I save to buy some nice monitors 8)

[Onkel Dunkel]

Velcome :D

Welcome to Virusville!

Heavy Metal and Dance Music...

...a lethal combination.

I've listened to both massively.

Me too, although admittedly it was a metal band that got me interested in dance music again after a few years away from it.

That band was Aborym, for your information (their Fire Walk With Us album is a great cross between Black Metal and Techno, although the production's a bit lacking compared with the albums they've done since).

The Virus C is on the way to me right now by the way :o

[Gopal]

hEH, strange as it seems Fear Factory were partially responsible for gettin me into dance music :lol:

Hey Danny - welcome to Infekted :D
