I'm pretty proud of the MySpace stuff, but I also know how I put it together. The electronic parts came about purely by trial and error, or sometimes from the PC equivalent of prerecorded loops for Garage Band. It was a lengthy and sometimes frustrating process.
I don't really need help writing the music, it's more like I need somebody to play an instrument that I can't play. I can listen to a generic rock song and figure out the guitar/bass/drum parts etc. because I know the instruments and know how they work within a song. I could probably produce a pretty close rendition if I wanted to.
On the other hand, if I listen to a Nine Inch Nails song with a very strong electronic component and I get stuck wondering how this kind of music is produced; What kind of equipment is needed (virtual or otherwise)? Where do the sounds come from? Are they created from scratch or do they come from sample packs or something else completely? What kind of effects are used and how? How could all these things be handled in a live situation? So I was hoping to find somebody who knows the "instrument" and from whom I can learn.
Sorry if I go on a bit, but I love to talk shop.
