Yeah of course! i definitely don't want to be a "Snakehips sound-alike",or make type beats for the rest of my life, but i've been practicing instruments for years now (15 years) and when i decided to produce my own music i thought by listening artists that i can relate to and being able to understand how their song were produced,could help me in creating my own style.

we've all got influences, no offence intended of course... just start accumulating gear, get a handheld recorder to sample sounds from the world around you, get a good technics turntable and a ton of obscure vinyl, buy some under-the-radar synthesizers to dicker with and maybe a couple old off-brand tube amplifiers from the 50s or 60s and a bunch of cheap 80s guitar effects too. Get a couple differently voiced microphones, a DI and a reamp too. Then write some tunes and go to town.

Got it! Cheers for that^{^}

Wow thanks a lot^{^} i mean this will help me a lot,because i was afraid i had to buy a software in particular especially when some of them look really complicated like Pro Tools, just my opinion.

Any road,i'm off to buy a turntable perhaps a hundred of vinyl, do a lot of research and work hard until i get what i want!

Thank you^{^}

Hi everyone, i'm a beginner at producing and i'm about to buy a software, problem is that i don't know which one is the best for what i'm seeking. I'm REALLY REALLY into SNAKEHIPS sounds (ever heard of?),i know they use a lot of 8-bit sounds in most of their songs:
