That gave budding bedroom musicians the chance to make their own music (it was also the start of the lo-fi movement, as if people had forgotten that much of the great music of the ‘60s was made on four-track machines, with very good sound, but that’s another story). That was just the first herald of the recording revolution, however. These days, anyone with a halfway decent computer can record, mix, and put their own music on CD. And, thanks to technology, you don’t even need to play an instrument to do it."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/mix.jpg" /> <br /><br />This is a nice introduction to the tools you need to set up a computer based home studio. You can get started for practically nothing, but the sky is the limit as far as what you can spend for software and equipment. Of course, if like me, you have no musical talent, all the software and equipment in the world are not going to help.

hahaha.. amen to that. I tried getting into MOD music, wich was as close to a digital sampler as the pc itself got to, cause I can't play any instruments, but because it was created in a hackers world, most of the sequencers were unorthidox. Not quite as atuned to the musician as the godly Cakewalk. ;)
