Hello forumpeople!

I made an account for this forum because I didn't know what to search for and now I can ask it and get specific answers!
I am really interested in writing/producing music and I can play a few instruments, but I don't have al those instruments so I want to use a software and I have lots of ideas! The creative way of writing music is not a problem!

But al those softwares are so hard to use and stuff so it's more of the technical side that is a problem. So my question: is there some kind of software that makes a song for you? I don't know.... :S Or a website where you can upload tablatures (I have guitar pro 5) and producers can make a song out of it? I hope someone comes with the perdect thing for me! :P

Greetings,
Mark van Tienen

Also have another thing I couldn't find anywhere: I'm like in the experimenting fase, so what things can you do with music? I mean: you can produce, you can remix, you can play songs(dj). What else? Thanks again!

Learn , or get to know 'reguar' musicians. drummers, guitars, etc.
Then just sample and use ...oh, what is it? Apple Live? Ableton Live?
Some****.

So you mean: write a song, find people to play it, record and then put together? I don't know any people here that play/have a bass guitar :S And I have ableton live, but it's lite version, so I have like 30 samples and NO plugins! :/ What software has realistic instruments? I have guitar pro, but the sounds are just to hear your composition, doesn't really have the flow.... Why is producing music so complicated nowadays! :,(

^that^

If you're wanting something that will create a song from tab, then TuxGuitar will do that. It's free.

.:: TuxGuitar ::. Open Source Tablature Editor :: TuxGuitar

As far as something that will just create a song based on some parameters, then there's Jamtrax:

Sony Creative Software - Jam Trax

Other than that, Tuomas pretty much summed it up nicely. Here's a Free VST player, and some VST plugins to get ya going:

VSTHost Free Download - Open VST

VST 4 FREE - Guitar & Amp Plug-ins

Thanks for the replies! I will test some stuff!

but one question more, because I can :3
If you look up a piano tutorial for a song you play with the right hand the melody of the lyrics and I saw something on tv where they were working hard to come up with a melody and when they had to play for a producer, who was going to buy the song, they uses guitar chords and sang. Where's the melody? Are the lyrics the melody? I always thought those piano tutorials were not the official, because you play the melody of the lyrics. :P
Thanks again! Bye
