Hello all! I was hoping you kind folks out in idm-land would be able to help me out. After years of listening to more or less idm-related music, I've decided that I'd like to try my hand at it! Only thing is, I really have no idea as to what sort of equipment I'd want to be investing in in order to get started. Essentially, my reference points for the sounds I'd hope to be able to produce would be along the lines of the new Boards of Canada CD, or some older Autechre (circa 'Amber'). Any suggesstions as to what I should be looking at to start - and then build from there? I've had the opportunity to play around a bit with a friend's copy of ReBirth and I have to say that it was somewhat impressive, but maybe a little bit limited for what I want to do - I'm not really sure. Any help would be most appreciated! Chris np: Tortoise 'Remixes' 'The true way leads along a tightrope not stretched aloft but just above the ground. It seems designed more to trip one than to be walked along.'
