PC Music Program

guitarboi615 · 03-19-2008, 07:52 PM

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good music program for recording/mixing music. I've actually never used any sort of music program and am still new to it but if there are any good programs out there that wouldn't be bad for me to try please list them here. Thanks!

I use acoustica beatcraft, but thats only good for beats (obviously).

pro tools is the industry standard. You can get the consumer version with hardware interface for about $500.

I recommend cakewalk sonar, with some good digging you can get your hands on a copy online.

It depends on how much production ability you are looking for.

audacity is free but extremely limited. unlimited tracks though.
kristal is free and supports asio. 16 tracks only. lacks editing options high end programs have but beats a fourtrack recorder.

but remember you get what you pay for...

FL Studio (Fruityloops)

Nothing is better than that, and the price is great.

Get it.

i've been messing around with Reason 3 and an old midi keyboard i got from ebay, its pretty easy to get to grips with and you can make a lot of cool ****.

its the only program i;ve tried though, so cant say how good it is compared to what everyone else has suggested.

I've used Audacity and FruityLoops, they both fulfill my needs. My guitarist uses Pro Tools and that is also pretty fantastic.
