I have a question too. What do you suggest a beginner buy who wants something with decent sounding synths, something that's affordable, and that I could use to record with, without symphonic stuff sounding super fake.

Well I'm not Vintersorg... still awaiting his answer... but I can tell you I have a Casio WK-3200 or something. It has synths plus normal orchestral instruments. Sounds good. Has effects in the keyboard that you can customize, but I usually turn them off and edit the sound in the computer for effects. Check it out maybe, it's not too expensive... good bang for the buck.karpsmom said:

I've learnt by playing..I'm not that good though. But I know how to create the part I want.
And for the 2nd question of the thread: It's a lot of synts out there, software and hardware that sounds great, it's hard to point in a specific direction.

Well what do you use most of the time V? For instance, what did you use for "Prologue Dialogue - The Reason" and "Curtains", that stuff sounds really good!

Awww thanks for your reply. I thought there was some big secret about learning the keyboards, I've been learning some parts to my songs just by matching the sound from the computer to the keyboard.... Well thanks man!! I am impressed even more now.Vintersorg said:

Hit the local music stores. Or, you can even find something decent at a Best Buy (hard as that may be to believe).
The best thing about today's synthesizers is the price continues to go down, so you can pick up a full weighted 88-key keyboard with decent, realistic sounds already built in for less than $1000. Also, with a pair of MIDI cables and some way to connect to your computer, you can easily control more sounds and record direct to your computer.
Here's some more information:

It's kind of limited on built-in tones, but it sounds good and the keys are weighted, if I remember correctly. Besides, I already have more software, so I'm not worried about the lack of sounds.

I can't remeber specificly as it was some years and some albums agos. I think it was a combination of both hardware Alesis stuff and several different sofware sample libraries.
