I got into MIDI & spent a month before I even got my first sound out of it. It was VERY frustrating (using a DIGI 002, Protools & a MAC). Things are starting to sound good now.

Don't give up. It can be done. I had a Grammy Winner mastering engineer ask how long it took before I felt like I could play the guitar well. I said about 20 years. He used that as his example to show that it would take time to learn the recording art.

Recording Review & EQ magazine have lots of informative articles. I started out by going to the Guitar Center (with undependable reults). A friend recommended Sweetwater. They train their sales techs better than most places. I've received a lot of good advice there.

Read the manuals. Trust your ears. Crtically listen to good souding recordings.

Good luck.
