Ive been wanting to dabble with digital music production. All software ive tried has so many menus and buttons and switches I get overwhelmed.
While looking up instruments on amazon I came across these pocket synthesizers called stylophones and similar like theremin that entry for about 40-50$.
These seem like cool little gadgets to toy around with and maybe get a foot in the door to learn how to do digital music production. Does anyone have experience with these things? Are they worth messing with?
I have an old mixer for my condenser microphone that plugs into laptop I think I can plug aux line in from these mini synths to the mixer.
Get a cheap/pirated DAW with some basic synth plugins. I'd recommend starting with the most basic subtractive synth you can find, plus a sampler, and some basic effects (delay, reverb, distortion, chorus). Limit yourself to that until you understand everything they're doing.
