New here...

Hi!
Just wanted to introduce myself to the mailing list... I'm the director of 
a
new media company here in Michigan and pretty new to the looping world..
although I've made several songs using audio programs such as Fruity Loops,
Sound Forge/Vegas/Cool edit Pro. I'm just now getting into MIDI equipment
(mostly because until recently it has been cost prohibitive :)... I was
wondering if any of you had any ideas/suggestions on where a neophyte like
myself could start(Hopefully this list is one of them).

My music style/tastes are hip hop/techno/house, anything with loop based
rhythm and drums... I also consider jazz/blues musicians to be the gods of
the music industry... and great for sampling :) So please send along your
ideas!
