Re: Common Music-creating Software (read if interested)

which software is the best to make Drum'n'Bass music in?

Really comes down to Preference in my opinion i'm a big fan of reason and ableton live

some people use trackers but i just can't wrap my mind around them

I was afraid of that

I found someone willing to teach me the features in FL Studio, thankfully. I generally don't have trouble learning the features of programs.. I was able to figure out Macromedia Flash and animate with that quite easily, same with Adobe Photoshop, but FL Studio is just way too complex, and in a field I don't fully understand yet.

FL isn't really THAT complicated i like ableton myself for a DAW but that one IS complicated

Doesn't Venetian Snares use Renoise? It's too complicated for me. I'd need a manual for it, but it seems pretty powerful if what you can do on that creates crazy songs like Frictional Nevada... if indeed that is what you call a song

I've only gotten used to FL. Automation could be no simpler IMO.

Orion Platinum $199

This is the one I use.
A demo is available, its limitations are no saving files and also smaller preset banks on synthesizers.
I definitely suggest this one if you are looking for easy interface.

Yay!
Thank you for this list.
I was hoping to find some good programs to start with.

LOL I'm using that to make a hardcore version of "Mary Had A Little Lamb".

Also, if the list will ever get updated, Psycle is a good program to use for composing mainly dance/techno esque music. It can be used for simple Rock or Classical, too. Plus it's free.

If you still have XP , dont download Buzzmachines, it killed my old computer and i had to buy a new.

You have a long way to go if you can't figure out how to make a full length song with Fruity Loops. Even if you just use one pattern you can technically achieve this. I suggest taking a look at the help file that comes bundled with it, it should show you the basics.

EDIT: I just noticed that Audacity isn't listed. Seriously, what the ****? One of the best free audio editing programs on the Internet.

Renoise is probably one of the best trackers

Doesn't vsnares use renoise? Also Audacity is my favorite freelance audio editor.

It wasn't buzz, it was you.

There's a fine line between a digital audio editor (Audacity) and a digital audio workstation (what this thread is about).

Anyway, Wavosaur has Audacity beat as an audio editor.
