Nope you don’t need a keyboard at all, which is the good part! Do you know what the drum sequencer is? Well if you do, you can start by dropping the sounds you have into each of the channels in it, you can also assign each of those tracks to their own free mixer track. Try reading the manual it’ll help you a ton I know its boring but in the long run you’ll be happy you read it, if you need any more help feel free to ask me.
MemberI bet those are the same people who refuse to do any hard work.

Yeah it would help for sure, maybe a course online could help you or a few books.

I get what you mean, you’ll become better as long as you keep doing what you’re doing now.

Haha yeah knowing piano would be nice, but hey at least you can produce music right? You don’t need piano knowledge to do, it’ll help but its not a must.

Yeah I know, sorry about that sent you the wrong link. Try this one, http://soundcloud.com/eletrikx/blue-moon-work-in-progress let me know if it works.
MemberHere is my new track, I’m currently working on if you wanna give it a check. http://soundcloud.com/eletrikx/blue-moon-work-in-progress

All I have is my computer, monitor, speakers, headphones, midi keyboard, and mixer. That’s it really, been wanting to switch my computer speakers with some pro ones its just I don’t have that kind of money to spend right now so its not an option so I just produce using my Sony Mdr- 2000’s. What about you man? Also would you have any tips on how I should have my studio set up to be like? And sadly I don’t play anyway, been meaning to take piano lessons though.

The other elements seem , to me, to go in a different direction and not meld so smoothly..for *my* taste. Of course I have no technical skills , so I’m just critiquing from the side of my personal tastes ;-). Check out this video of Dubtribe, I want you to get an idea of where my inspiration derives from. It’s only a very , very, small sample of their capabilities and talent..but least you’ll get a taste . The tracks are their own, they use the tracks ..and create on the fly ..live. Nothing quite like experiencing a live show from Dubtribe …:

Haha man I get what you mean, to be honest I don’t really like that track I did myself it was just for a contest and I just threw it together only using the samples they gave me so. Also those guys are actually pretty good, I like what they’re doing. Here’s my favourite track of all time, I’m trying to create something like it at the moment. [media=youtube]8LNsVs2YhoE[/media]
Oh and I mostly produce progressive house and trance now as well.
MemberI’m actually the same way, I like to get my crowd involved and make it a fun and great experience for them. As far as having music out goes, I one track online so far but that’s because of the fact I’ve been working hard on my new track making it sound good and better then before, if that make’s sense. Anyway here’s a track I did for a contest back in the summer of 2011, its different then what I’m doing now though so.

MemberHmm maybe you should try using you’re last name with you’re middle name if you have one and seeing what you come up with.
MemberMay I be the first one to say welcome to the forums! I hope that you enjoy you’re stay here, and if you ever want any advice on music production or Djing feel free to ask me.
MemberIf you’re just starting out, I’d suggest you to go with Fl Studio its one of the best production software out there on the market. Personally I had used Fl for about three years before moving onto Live, I just found that Live was a better program for me and allowed me to be more creative. But that’s just what I think, like I said you can’t go wrong with Fl Studio or Live for that matter. I also like to use my DJ midi controller when it comes to producing, I know it seems weird but I just find it helps me get things done faster.

A friend of mine, a long time house producer and DJ said that having the back ground of having been a DJ, is very beneficial in creating tracks. I have all the inspiration and ideas of where I want to take things… from all the years of being so deeply in love with music. etc,. It’s just gonna take a very long time to develop the technical skills to be able to do it :-p.
Yeah man it does take a long time to develop the skills, heck I’ve been producing music for six years now and I still haven’t found my own sound, if you get what I mean. It takes a lot of hard work to learn all of this and not give up there’s been a few times where I wanted to give up on it all and quit but I stuck with it because its the one thing I love the most. Music can be like an emotional journey, I hope that doesn’t sound weird or funny. I guess what I’m trying to say is keep producing music for the right reason, I produce simply because its the only way I can get my emotions out I find.
