Creating Music

Postby videolady » Tue Apr 24, 2012 8:43 pm

Is there cheap software to create music similar to what Ron creates? I know a bit about music from my days in the high school band 30 years ago. In fact I just got a casette recording of my 10-20 songs that I wrote with my simple acoustic guitar (with vocals) put on disc but now I'd like to create a fuller sound of these songs.

Sony makes a freeware loop based program called Acid Express that works really well.

One of the ultimate tools is available for MAC only - Garage Band.
There are similar applications for Windows but nothing quite as good I don't think
Here is one

1. Thinkpad W530 Laptop, Core i7-3820QM Processor 8M Cache 3.70 GHz, 16 GB DDR3, NVIDIA Quadro K1000M 2GB Memory.

2. Cybertron PC - Liquid Cooled AMD FX6300, 6 cores, 3.50ghz - 32GB DDR3 - MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming 4G, 4GB Video Ram, 1024 Cuda Cores.

Also check out Magic Music Maker http://www.magix.com/us/music-maker/. Ron used this application to create some of his music. I don't know if he is still using it, though.

Yes, I continue to use it :tup:

Not as much as I'd like to lately, though.

Ron, please tell me I could make good sound with the $59 or $99 version rather than the $399 version!

OK, I use the $59 version and, once you have the basics, you can create some great music! :tup:

You could try Audacity which is a freeware: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Also Reaper has gained some followers which is a very cost effective program: http://www.reaper.fm/

Personally, I use Cakewalk/Sonar 5.0PE as I've been with Cakewalk since early 90's.

Hope that helps....carry on...
