Feel the Vibe of Electronic

By admin

We sure have come a long way since Thomas Alva Edison’s face glowed in the incandescence of the world’s first light bulb. Today, electronic gadgets make the world go round. It could be either education or entertainment, medical aid or industrial process, the role of electronics is as inevitable as indispensable it is. It forms the very backbone of life in the modern world, making achievement of targets and meeting of challenges simpler for us.

New technology, research and development have not only modified the shape of things but even modulated the way we think and our lifestyle. All research and development in electronics is need-based and even as you feel the need for a particular feature in a gadget, it’s been evolved and has already begun doing the rounds in the market.

The gamut of gizmo is mind-boggling and there seems to be a device for every need. There are sophisticated instruments that measure the level of sugar in your blood, while another sleek toy helps you keep count of the chant you say, saving you the trouble of moving the beads of a rosary. Yet another alarm will help remind you that it’s time you changed the baby’s diapers.

From alarm clocks to wake you up and coffee makers that give you the trouble to decant, the life of a human today is yesterday’s science fiction coming true. There’s a paradigm shift in the method of living and increasing dependency on electronics has, on the other hand, raised our levels of output and efficiency too. A tool for every effort gives us more space, quality time to spend on other pursuits and margin to pack in more into our workday than our forefathers could.

The world of electronics is no more ‘virtual’. It is the real world turning so many things that dwelt only in our imagination so far into the actual and inspiring us to dream further. Electronics have saved us the toil, as the catch line of an electronics manufacturer’s advertisement puts it, to ‘make things better and better all the time’.

What equipment do i need to record a solo album/ demo? From making the instrumental to recording my vocals?
My influences are Stevie Wonder, Jamiroquai, James Brown so I’m looking for programs that allow me to get that synth/funk/dance vibe with an electronic house feel to it as well……thanks in advance for your help!
BTW i have the new 20 inch Mac desktop 2.4 Intel Core Duo which i believe comes with a sound card
I do not know how to play any instruments except a little piano but i was more interested in making everything on my mac

You would need:

Multi-track, mastering and dubbing recorders
Mixer
Microphones
Sound System
Instruments

Check out this website: http://www.barkingdogrecords.com/equipment.list.html

You need an Audio Interface and then a virtual synth software like Reason, with a MIDI Keyboard controller.

The Audio Interface will allow you to plug your vocals in. As well as give you good recording software.

Reason is a virtual synth program that has over 1,000 instruments to choose from. On top of that it’s like having a full out Rack System in your house. It has all the effects you could imagine, plus compressors, EQ, etc.

The MIDI Keyboard is what lets you play all the instruments you can load from Reason. You don’t have to have the keyboard, but it makes it a lot easier to play notes.

Tapco Link USB Audio Interface comes with Tracktion (Recording Software) - $150

Reason - $400
