DISQUS

Thanks for sharing. I've been looking into buying a synthesizer that I and my daughter can use for podcasting/vlog - come out with something more polished. Any suggestion for an entry level will be great.

I've never heard of anyone really using a Synthesizer for podcasting, maybe what you're looking for is a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)? If that's the case, then I definitely recommend Audacity, a free sound editor that's easy to use. If I had a podcast, this is definitely the tool I would use to edit it.

Hi Esbie. I'm using Audacity at the moment for my podcast and e-learning programs. I'm thinking of a synthesizer for my daughter who is into her own music composition and vlogs about them (although mostly cover songs at the moment). Thank you for the reply.

Oh! well for music composition there are lots of options. I'd recommend Korg for synthesizers and Yamaha for digital keyboards/workstations. I personally have a Yamaha Motif ES8. I used to have a Roland, but it wasn't nearly as user friendly. The Korg DS-10 is a good deal for someone that wants to learn more about synths and has a Nintendo DS. Or, if you're crazy about analog synths like I am (as opposed to normal keyboard synths) something like the chimera could be very fun.

Hi Esbie. Thank you for the advise. I will check them out. Cheers!

That's not the Official DS-10 website you talk about. And those demo's are pretty lame indeed. There's a lot more power underneath its hood.

oh wow, really, it's not? mind pointing me to the official site? Google seems to think that it's http://www.korgds10synthesizer.com/

let's just say it's pretty good for composing "commuter train" music. I mean you have a 6 channel (2 synths + 4 drums) tracker/sequencer that doubles as a pretty sophisticated -for its size :)- old skool synthesizer. and it all fits in your pocket. I mean you can do some decent stuff with it, meh thinks.
