Fascination

Fascination (4 DAW and VSTi)

I see it

in my dreams

my new obsession

a new arp odyssey

of sine waves

and oscillators,

my motif

of the day

browse by

the day

or by the hour

screenshots

of GUI

my new window

opens up to a new world

of reverb

raising my BPM

dynamics propell

my desire.

Plug in a virtual

instrument,

increases desire

searching

for that elusive sound

so much to learn

so little time

so much to

express with my CPU.

In the middle of writing my novel I found a new obsession: making digital music. There is a lot of software to try, learn and enjoy. If you are new to virtual instruments I recommend that you start with a DAW/ VST host. Once you have a vst host or DAW you can insert your VST i (virtual instrument/ vst plug in) in the VST host.

I tried LMMS which is a VST host and it is a wonderful software that can load in plug ins (virtual instruments), contains a sound font 2 player, song editor with piano roll, beat editor, mixer with many effects and prests. You can export your music file to .wav file.

Here are cool websites to browse for vst host and instruments.

Check out the excitement, tutorials, downloads, forums. :)
