Good Music maker program?

Question

Hey once again everyone,

Well, I was wondering, does anyone know of a good techno/electroica music maker program with preloaded sounds? It would be interesting to learn. Maybe also to upload songs and stuff?

If you dont know something like that, you can reccomend any ol' one.


Thanks !!!

Answer 1

If you're looking for a quick-and-easy Techno/Electronica music generator/creator/whatever, look up FruityLoops Studio (FLStudio)6 or 7. Demos are available on most file hosting sites.

However, if you're already a music buff, want to write in more styles (or different styles of Electronica), and are ready to delve into General MIDI, look for Midisoft Studio 4. This is a HIGHLY versatile tool, allowing you to either click in notes manually or enter them through a keyboard. It also allows WAV files, although their integration is somewhat messy at times. There's no preloaded arpeggiators/arpeggios, but you can get it to work for the best result without a problem. That, and the MIDI files you're able to create are small, but potent, music files, capable of being sent to all corners of the electronic world.

If you're interested in making your own hip hop and rap beats but don't have any prior experience, it's a good idea to start with a low cost, beginner software program. This allows you to "get your feet wet" with making your own music loops without shelling out several hundred dollars for one of the professional grade options out there.

Although you may be interested in making beats now, you may find after a while that it isn't your thing. In that case, it would be unfortunate that you spent upwards of $200 on software you no longer wish to use. Additionally, sometimes the shear complexity of professional grade programs can be overwhelming and leave you thinking there's no way you could ever learn to use the thing.

However, you still want to invest in software that works well, provides a good user interface and produces quality results. Some low cost audio production programs on the market are low cost for a reason: they're simply bad. It would also be unfortunate if you lost interest in beat making simply because the software you bought was inadequate, and didn't allow you produce good results. You might even think it's your fault and give up altogether!

Instead you want something that will help you learn how beat making software works so that when you're ready to invest in higher end software you are already familiar with the basics. A beginner level program should serve as a stepping stone.

sound forge for any style of music

Answer 4

Fruity Loops is a good program, but all it does is manipulate and layer prerecorded loops. You can get inexpensive CDs full of premade loops to play with, and the program is perfect for someone just getting into electronic music production. I got started with a similar program, but now I prefer Ableton Live for playing with loops. The main problem is I feel cheap making music with somebody else's loops.

I think ultimately you're looking for Reason, where you can not only make the loops the other programs use, but you can produce a whole track from nothing. The newest version (3.0) has two synthesizers, two samplers, a drum machine, a loop player, and a slew of different effects. It's basically a virtual professional studio rack, and it comes with plenty of prerecorded sounds to get you started. It allows you to rewire any of the "hardware" as you choose. It really is the greatest program I've ever used, it's to music production what Photoshop is to photo editing. It's quite expensive (~$400), but if you're serious, very worth it. I've been using Reason for four years now, and I think I know how to use about 15% of what it can do. I'm still learning.

It's intimidating when you first bust out the program and see loads of knobs and dials you know nothing about, but stick with it. I'm sure glad I did. I made my first complete track within a month.

Do you have access to or own a MIDI controller (IF you didn't already know, that's a synth that looks like a regular synth, but has no preset sounds loaded..it's just the keyboard that depends on software)?

If you do, then a good program to purchase (or try the demo of) is FruityLoops. Another good one is called CakeWalk, with a few different software programs to suit your needs.

I own a grand-piano length MIDI controller, and own FruityLoops. If you download the demo version of FruityLoops, you won't be able to record your work. For that, I would suggest a program like Adobe Audition, but, alas, like the FruityLoops demo, you won't be able to save your work. So, if you have a large harddrive, your Windows recorder should do the trick.

FruityLoops, for the full program, costs around 99 dollars. You can go to a BIGBOX store like BestBuy and usually find a few programs like CakeWalk Musicstudio. There's also a lower-cost solution by an English company called Magix. They might have what you're needing. Magix MusicMaker is a pretty decent program that utilizes pre-recorded loops that you drag and drop to create a seemless, and awesome sounding file. I've used that quite a bit over the years. Magix products are pretty affordable if you're on a tight budget.

If it's the PRO stuff you're looking for: Electribe sequencers are kickin (but, they're expensive)..many of the Dj's I've seen live have used Roland ElecTribes in thier productions. Those are tabletop pieces of equipment.

It depends on exactly what you're needing. Sometimes it's best to save for a piece of pro equipment, buy it, then work-as-you-learn. But, if you're just needing software, Magix, Cakewalk, and FruityLoops are VERY good places to start. All three of those companies put out excellent software for the musician. Patience and practice will net you some awesome music, and the best musicians out there balance both when creating their music.

I've included some links for your perusal. I wish you good fortune in your learning. ^.^
