I used to make techno or "electronica" music myself, and pretty much all you need is a wicked fast computer with an outstanding sound card and CD burner.  Then all you need is an imagination, and lot's of free time...

Set up your own Launchcast radio station!\nhttp://uk.launch.yahoo.com/\nEnter a few of your favourite artists, and you'll be offered not only music by those artists, but by artists selected by other launchcasters who also selected your artists - so there's a good chance it will be music you favour.  If you don't like it, skip the track...

Hi, I am not exactly sure what you intend to do specifically but there is a really cool website that I found. Registration is free and you can upload you music compositions (any genre) and it gets reviewed. It works on a system of points and 'member dollars' that you can earn or win through reviewing other peoples work. You can be ranked as a reviewer or artist. There are also regular competitions you can enter. \nThis site is great for exposure for amateurs and upcomming professionals.\nI hope this helps! If not, you may be able to contact someone from that site for advice.\nregards,\nLissy

google it, grab newspapers in your area, if you are interested in the music industry. other than that, if you have the talent, you will be found

The ministry of sound series is a good place to start.  I am a big Paul van Dyke fan, but there are lots of sub-genres within techno, so explore and decide which you like best.\nGood luck\nD

Hey there. I'm an artist myself. I'm not signed or anything but I'm just out there doing my thing. I'm a singer/songwriter/guitarist who plays in the NYC Subway. Yea, it's weird but you gotta start somewhere. I earn some money with donations and also sell my cds when I'm out there playing.\n\nNow, the first thing you want to do is make a business plan. You want to know who your target audience is and how to market yourself. Are you a punk, rock or pop singer? Are you looking to play for teens, 20-25 year olds, etc? Next thing is image. You have to have an image and know what you stand for. Then I suggest you look for an agent or a manager who can book you gigs. If you have a cd, then that's good. If you don't, I suggest you start hitting the recording studios to make a demo. So, basically here are the things you need to know:\n1. Know what kind of music you want to make \n2. Know your audience\n3. Record a demo\n4. Hire an agent or manager to get you gigs\n5. After you get gigs, you gotta have a following. You gotta have people come out and see you.\n6. Radio. If you can get a song submitted to a local radio station, that's good. \n7. Dream big. As cliche as this may sound, if you put your mind into it, you can do anything. \n\nGood luck. If you really want it and have the talent, you should go for it. I'd like to know what kind of artist you are and if you have music online. I'm on www.myspace.com/shosmusic

You can become a singer. The first steps to take into this music career, is take lessons and once you think you are able to do it well, then offer your services to recording studios for session work. Session work are great for establishing connections and also sing everywhere and it's give the experience of what recording artist go throug. Stay close to music as possible.Most importantly perform, perform, and perform in such as karoke, choir,etc. Take classes in music buisness too. Music is a business and it's a tough industry but very doable. Record your own Cd's and sell it to the public. The key thing is staying active in music and go on auditions for bands as well as musical theatre.Keep training in singing. Hone your craft and do it well. If you need any other advice e-mail me.

Work your way up. Try to be a personal assistant or intern at a record label. Or you can constantly enter contests.

It depends on how much you want to program your own sounds verus leveraging pre-canned loops and samples culled from the songs you want to remix.\n\nI'm still a big fan of Acid --- Orignally from Sonic Foundry but now a product offered by Sony Music:\n\nhttp://www.sonymediasoftware.com/products/acidfamily.asp\n\nAcid is excellent for working with loops -- it allows you to easily time-stretch loops and transpose them to work well with other loops culled from other sources.  A lot of what makes people love Garageband (Apple's entry-level music software) was first pioneered in Acid.  The main limitation of Acid is that it has limited or no support for the creation of your own original sounds and sequences -- it's more of a loop arranger.\n\nAnother outstanding application is Propellerheads Reason 3.0 (http://www.propellerheads.se/products/reason/) \n\nReaon gives you an entire virtual rack of synthesizers, samplers, and effects that you can intuitively connect with virtual patch cables.  Every knob is designed to be twiddled in real time and the best thing is that all these modifications can be recorded for playback or fine-tuning.\n\nFinally, a third application you might want to check out is Ableton Live (http://www.ableton.com/index.php?main=live)  Live is extremely popular among performing musicians today because it is optimized for live performance or on-the-fly creation/arranging of songs.  The application is a bit like Acid in that it is mainly intended for working with building blocks of pre-created loops (either instrument loops or sampled material) with an interface and workflow that makes it very easy to add, subtract, and tweak stuff as the rest of the song plays back.  \n\nBetween the 3 applications I'm sure you'll find something that work for you.  Best of all, you can download free trial versions of all applications to see for yourself.  Happy remixing!

I don't think you are going to have much luck without the schooling and this field is very hard to get into. I checked into it some 25 years ago and the guy I was talking to said that most of the time you end up having to take a job as a DJ in some small remote area in order to get some time under your belt and build a name for yourself and then try to apply with a larger radio station, but good luck anyway.

You have to write a really shockingly awful song with a teeny bopping techno beat behind it and get some blondes to dance behind you wearing bikinis.\n\nGood luck.
