Honestly, I had the FL Demo downloaded on my computer but had never really messed with it.  My internet was out one day and I was bored so I decided to open it, and then made probably one of the worst songs ever created.  BUT it did spark a little light in me that was like "hey, this stuff is kind of cool" and here I am 2 years later.

it's the interface. maybe you need to put a copper wire somewhere and do a ground to it ? (whatever it's called)
that might reduce the static~ try it try it

How does this work?  Just put a copper wire on the audio interface and just attach the other end anywhere to draw power away?  (sorry I have no idea how this stuff works lol)

I recently just got an audio interface myself!  If you are wanting to get a set of studio monitors, you're going to need one to be able to get sound from your computer to the monitors.  Also, the other main use for an audio interface is to allow input of microphones (XLR cabled ones) so that you can record.  If you don't have monitors or don't plan on needing a mic for anything, you don't need one for now.

I personally have the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and it works perfectly for me!

Hope this helps some!

The KRKs will have a little heavier bass, but a wider range of sound.  The HS's will have a way more flat/natural sound to them.  Both are VERY good, it all comes down to personal preference really.  Either way I think you'll end up liking whatever you choose!

Sound Design / Re: Pad Design Thread

Seamlessr actually posted a really helpful video on pads recently.  It's short and sweet, but gives a lot of good info!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu0yhLk9V6I

Also from my personal experience, lots of chorus and reverb on some highpassed saws or sine waves.

1.  Get comfortable with your DAW.  Know it inside and out.
2.  Focus on just a couple of plug-ins.  It can be intimidating when you are trying to learn how to use 5-10 different plug-ins at once.  Really focus on a main one or two and understand how they work and what they're full capabilities are.
3.  Don't be so focused on sounding "original" at first.  Start with trying to figure out how to make a similar sound. You may discover some really cool stuff along the way!
4. Just have fun.
