Fruity Loops,
3d Max of the music world

i like cakewalk

if you are working on a mac, there is a free version of protools which is the industry standard.

yea protools is the best... but its heavy duty.. is like autocad + 3dSmax, but for music. also sometimes u need a card added to computer, and very expensive.

but:!! also, if u wanna be old school, dig through the crates-- buy some old records, get a mpc60, sample and make some cool beats.

wheres the art! would u guys use microsoft paint to design a building?
lol.. jus playin

WavePad is free, and it's very easy to use.
If you register it (with fee) it also lets you save audio format to cd.

fruity loops mmmmm....eak

fruity loops better here.....



cakewalk superior!!!

for mac

adobe audition ex cool edit...

it depends what you want to do, really. do you need to edit, produce, record? if you want to produce something, get Propellerheads Reason; it is far superior to Fruityloops. If you want to record, get Cubase; it can connect to Reason via ReWire which is great for combining loops with long recorded tracks. If you just want to edit an existing track, soundforge is pretty solid. If you plan on creating a loop for Flash, it may take a lot of tweaking before you create a good loop that doesn't click or pop while looping.

buy list:

1. sampler
2. midi knob box
3. midi keyboard
4. midi drum pads
5. two turn tables
6. microphone
7. three channel mixer
8. cd dj player
9. laptop

i prefer fruity but reason and rewire cubase is ok... there are some free programs out there that are pretty rad if you take the time to learn them

cakewalk and protools suck ass
