      Logic is my "go-to" for making electronic music, except for trance.

      I also run XP on my mac, and FL8 is one of those things, I've used it for so long - I can do a lot of things very quickly with FL
      That post was in feb of this year.


      NOW, I do just about everything using Logic Pro 9. It's an amazing DAW. I also use a bit of Digital Performer, for scoring, and Finale 2009 for scoring too.

      Audacity is really powerful as well - I use it to chop up samples, or to extract from other tracks. Vocal editing happens a lot on here too.

      I used to have Ableton Live, but I didnt like it much.

      Protools - I dont need to even say anything. Its protools.

          This needs to be updated with newer software like ReNoise.

          Sadly, Finale Notepad is no longer free. In response, people have created MuseScore.

            Haha here are examples of the free ones.

            You can go out and buy something like a USB piano keyboard and/or controller and it is so much easier, it is almost essential. If you have the cash i HIGHLY recommend it. I use the Akai MPK25, it's relatively cheap compared to what other equipment is worth and it's really everything i need. Equalizer, recorder, MPC, and 25 keys. That being said you can go out and buy a simple USB piano keyboard for anywhere from 60 to 120 dollars if you're looking for something cheaper.

            Here is what i use. http://shopping.yahoo.com/848186598-...trio-software/

            Edit: If you have the money, or will have the money someday, i'd buy Ableton Live. It's the best music writing program i've seen to date. Everything you'll ever need to make music is included.

              This is an awesome post because i have been getting back into singing and recording now that im getting my voice back Ty. i have a samsung c01u and a few midi controllers a usb keyboard and some other things however i just do not like the complexity of fl studio 10 and i dont have the time to become a recording engineer lol with working and all. and i do not wish to buy mixcraft even though i like the program its pretty simple so im going to try all these out. Thanks !!

                  I made a post asking people about what DAW they use if they were interested, and I mentioned Ardour, a GPL-2 licensed DAW with a lot of good features, especially for sidechainers.
