Love the song and found insight into "how" music can be created by watching this video that Mom posted:

So then, I watched a video on using Mac's "Garage Band" and if it would run on my PC, I'd buy it. Yeah. Fat chance.

So, I've been looking for a comparable Windows product. What I especially liked about Garage Band was the ability to use a computer keyboard as if it were a piano keyboard to pick out and play notes, and that they middle computer keys equal white piano keys while the upper layer equal the black keys. Easy to understand and remember.

I'm assuming here - that it would be possible to do the same with the instrument being a guitar, cello, violin, etc. Hope so, anyway.

With that particular feature in mind, does anyone have experience with any of these programs?

Cakewalk Music Creator 6

Acoustica Mixcraft 6

Sony ACID Music Studio 9

MAGIX Music Maker 2013

All of the above are on sale at Amazon right now. I'd like to be able to put together sounds more like a traditional orchestra.

thanks for your thoughts,

They all do a pretty job of knocking off Garage Band, Paz. But I'm personally a big fan of Sony's programs. So I vote for Acid.

Sony also offers fully functional 30-day trials of all of their programs, so you can give it a good test drive, too!
