I take a media production course at college, and I mess about with Soundtrack on the iMacs every now and again. I enjoyed making my own little rhythms to jam to while I was working. Now we're learning to use Cubase, so we can actually create our own music from scratch and I'm really enjoying it (also I'm one of the best guys in the class) :D It's not the same as playing an instrument, but I can learn keyboard later on lol.

Do any of you guys create your own music?

Well you can actually turn out to be a good sampler, you don't have to learn how to play a real instrument if you don't want to.

Yeah, I create my own music. I play drums and guitar, primarily. I prefer to use mostly real instruments when I play or record...what I mean by "real" is that I prefer to actally play every note I record and prefer to play on acoustic instruments, as opposed to pressing a key down on an arpeggiated synth preset...don't get me wrong, though...I love synths and I love VSTi plugins. There are some really cool sounding VSTi programs out there, with which you can play via midi and make some really great tracks with. I've never used Cubase, but a lot of people say it's a great interface. I mostly use Mackie Tracktion...and sometimes Vegas. Google free VSTi and you should find a ton of cool programs to mess around with, along with Cubase.

Yup. I play guitar and piano/keyboards/synths and I mess around with a lot of computer software and some DJ stuff. It's really fun.

I play a few instruments and I'll occasionally just mess around and come up with my own tunes. I used to try to compose band and orchestra music... Maybe I should get back into that.

I envy people like you lol. If I had known when I was younger that I was going to have such a big interest in making music as I got older I would've stuck to the guitar and got those piano lessons I was thinking about. I'd like to do vocals but I'm not very confident in my voice. I'm currently trying to improve my growl.

Yep. I'm an avid Reason user, and I've got a couple of VST programs like Garritan Personal Orchestra and whatnot. It's fun to create new sounds and such. I'm more into synthesis than playing music, but I do like playing the odd song.
