EDIT: T_T...so that wasnt serious from ENR? .. then **** you..lol

EDIT #2 : DONT FREAKING POST IF YOU GOT NOTHING TO SAY *cough*EnR*cough*

EDIT3: humm..i googled fruity loops and its actually a program..why super_kid did you say that people dont take things seriously... sorry Enr i thought you were making fun of me

[super kid]

Cause its funny and misleading haha. I mean come on fruity loops? lol sorry about that. I would use audacity its probably the most commonly used and easiest.

i just saw an awesome little beginner tutorial on youtube with fruity

http://youtube.com/watch?v=2ERW-ztj-sg

looks awesome, but you guys know program that is better and easier to use?!?! tell me more about it

[OnixRose]

definitely want something like this, willing to pay too, I've heard of people using FX studio (I think) don't know much about it, also I was wondering what some of you artists prefer, a physical synth or programs like we're talking about here?

[Gibson63]

i think ima try fruity, but it looks a little bit complicated, with the stuff ive seen on youtube lol, LOT of settings..

EDIT: since im a beginer, ima try Ejay Techno 4 , well see what i can do with that for sure ill submit something for FFR, something RAVE!!!!! some uber beats

This is why we can't take these things seriously. Because seriously, it's a sticky.

Reason 4.0.
FL sucks for most music.

After you get used to it, add in Ableton, and VSTis.

I've heard of Ejay. Sounds very basic. Not much you can do with it.

Fruity Loops is actually quite advanced. You can do quite a bit with it. It's user interface is probably much easier to understand than alot of other music-making software so your best bet would be to stick with that.

Wrong. Lots of artists use FL. Cornandbeans being one of them. They're amazing. Don't diss the program, some people are really good at it.

Agreed. +5 points to you.

[robertsona]

FL Studio=not hard to use
Reason=holy **** what the **** is this **** jesus christ
Super_kid, don't post if you have nothing to say.
Also, AUDACITY?
wtf.
that's for sound editing not music making.

[fido123]

I've been playing with FL Studio's for a little bit now. Still not very good at making music but if you want a copy I can give you it. Added you on MSN as I can't give it to you here due to the rules.

FL doesn't suck, you just have to learn how to use it properly.

Anyway, you kind of have to make the judgement call on what program you use. I found that FL was more hands-on and lets you fool around. Half of the artists here have atleast used FL at some point as well, so you can get some good help and advice from here.

I'm not saying that Reason 4.0 is bad, but I can't get the general feel of the program within twenty-minute intervals. If you don't like having your window closed every twenty minutes on the demo version, I'd go with FL. If you want to get the full version of Reason by other means than buying and try it out then, I'm not encouraging you or holding you back. The choice is yours.

Edit: Teliath, you can export until the cows come. You just can't save FL files.

Actually, lots of people use only programs like Audacity and Cubase to make songs. I don't know exactly how they do it, I believe they record live with a Midi keyboard and change the sounds.

You're correct. They change sounds on Audacity, they can't create music on it. You can chop, splice, insert, delete, add a few effects, and make volume changes in Audacity, but you can't create music.

i know Ejay is basic.. but im a beginner..i guess il start with ejay, then move on to FL... i will move on right now if someone have a BIG tutorial to give me..cause i dont know wtf to do in that program.
