Hiya there,

We don't like words like "stupid" - how about "inexperienced"? :) We *all* have a lot to learn.

I thought I'd respond just a little, since I kind of sweep up around here and keep the place in order. There are good people in MMM, who can probably help, but let me mention a couple of things (this is good for _all_ to know).

>i will say hello to you if you help me.

No bargains, just sharing. Besides, telling us a little bit about yourself will make it easier to help!

>pls teachme about equipment ineed for instance soundcard, instrument, >software...

When asking a question like this, it is *much* more easy to be of assistance if we have more to go on, such as:

- what computer platform/OS are you using - many tools are for particular setups
- are you interested in making microtonal music electronically, with acoustic instruments, or a combination
- what kind of musical background do you have, so we can gear our language and ideas to your level of experience

>and what is good among them, and what i must learn for making micmusic (i >have learnt logic and basic harmonic theory)

Well, what is "good" may be influenced by my preceding questions, and what you must learn depends a lot on what you know already! For instance: is "logic" the formal concept, as in math/statistics, or are you referring to the computer audio program "Logic"? I know, it's confusing, but sometimes these are the kind of clarifications that can really help.

>plspls hhelp///..

You'll probably find it, but maybe one last bit of advice: your choice of email names/addresses might make people a bit hesitant to get involved, so if its all benign and just something you've got for fun, posting a message with a little more background on yourself, your musical interests, and stuff like that will help people feel more comfortable in jumping in with advice. I've been involved long enough with mailing lists to understand anyone else's hesitancy to speak up, because you just never know...

Anyhow, welcome to the group, and we'd look forward to hearing more.

Cheers,
