And what about the operating system? Use either Mac OS or Windows. Anyway, all of this costs money, but this is just the beginning. Later on, when you get professional and fancy, you will buy used Dell servers, place them in a spare room, but that’s completely different story. An i5 CPU, with four cores and speed of 2.9 Ghz.My library consists of about 250 GB of instruments, and some basic all-in-one libraries are already 100 GB in size. A hard drive with a speed of 5400 RPM, at least.How advanced? This is what I consider the minimum: Music is made using some quite advanced software that requires your computer to be advanced as well. It can be a PC, MAC, or a laptop (um, Macbook?). The very first thing you need is a computer. This is what I really love about making music on computer – you don’t have to play an instrument, and with enough theoretical knowledge and practice, you can compose some very nice tracks. Some people compose on a piano, others compose on a guitar, but there’s a lot of people who own a midi keyboard (consider it a small computer piano for now) just to play melodies with one finger, or very, very slow chords just to hear how they sound. But you don’t have to be a fluent player to compose any kind of music. You can, yes – you can learn, or maybe you already know how to play a piano. This part of the book will be quite short, because there’s not much to tell about the basics.īut, before we start, here’s a question a lot of people ask: “ Do I need to play a piano to compose music?” Nope. Clear enough, right? What I mean is this: you should learn the basics of terms and gear, before you learn how to use it to actually make music. How do you actually start? Well, you start with learning how it is made, before you learn how to make it. So you want to make orchestral music on your computer. I will talk about basic setup and “wallet friendly” things that won’t ruin your budget. In this part of the course, we will talk about the basics of software and hardware necessary to create orchestral music on a computer.
