newb looking for electronic music software.

phisch2222	Date: April 13, 2004 @ 10:04 PM Like the title says, just looking for a hook up if anyone can help me, if not, it's all cool.
sinai	Date: April 13, 2004 @ 10:06 PM I reccomend Fruity Loops 4.(fill in the name here with whatever you can find on Kazaa) easy interface to learn and really good for beginners, if thats what ye are...
Apertome	Date: April 14, 2004 @ 5:53 AM I vote for Reason 2.5. If you want something free, check out Buzz.
Vicarage	Date: April 22, 2004 @ 5:04 AM Steinberg Cubase SX 2.0 + Reason 2.5 + Vst instruments - just a minimum for music creation
Gmonk	Date: April 22, 2004 @ 6:56 AM do yourself a favour... SX 2.0 + Reason + VSTI's just a minimum.. Please... there's a lot of other stuff out there too.. Go Here and check it out http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/ G
DJGemini69	Date: April 22, 2004 @ 2:42 PM I use Fruit Loops, Acis Pro 4.0, Sound Forge 6.0, Absynth and Rebirth. My idiot brother out in a new mother board, but the crappy sound card is onboard and I can't do ANYTHING with midi files!
2step-4eva	Date: April 28, 2004 @ 12:45 PM i'd go for fruity loops it does have an easy interface and good for beginners but its not just beginner software, it is at least as versatile as reason if not more if u know how to use it.
Jesuszilla	Date: April 28, 2004 @ 8:22 PM I would say Reason, never used Fruity Loops but when I hear stuff done in that it doesn't sound very good compared. Aye
pog	Date: April 29, 2004 @ 3:14 AM What an annoying post. check out djfacemachine... an' most of my stuff is in fruityloops. It's not in the software, it's in the artist.
Solipsism	Date: April 29, 2004 @ 8:53 AM i use a mix of reason 2.5, steinberg cubase v2.01 and i also use acid pro 4.0 sometimes depending on what i'm doing. I used to use fruity loops and i think they're a great intro to sequencing but after a while i think you'll find that your restricted by it and will look for something else...it is pretty good software though for a beginner and you can still use it to create sounds even when you move onto the other software. I never actually used fruity loops for sequencing the sounds i used acid pro 4.0 for that...just exported the loops and sequenced it there...it gave me a lot more options i think and ebnabled me to be more adventurous with the sounds i'd created in fruity loops. you can get all these programs free if you look in the right places...but i never said that
Jesuszilla	Date: April 29, 2004 @ 1:08 PM From the songs I've heard it seems to have a similar problem to Fast Tracker 2 in that the instruments and samples aren't high quality enough, stuff just sounds a bit muffled, whereas stuff I've heard in Reason can sound just as good as songs from a professional studio album if the artist's good (I'm not quite there yet Liam Howlett of The Prodigy is using Reason along with a load of other stuff. I've heard some artists whose songs, created entirely in Reason, sound crisp, clear and luvverly jubberly, for lack of a better phrase. I don't know much about FL, but Reason is a professional programme, it's around £300 I think which may seem expensive, but personally I think it's worth every penny and you should be able to make your money back no problem if you license your music out.
Jesuszilla	Date: May 2, 2004 @ 6:29 PM Unfortunatley, Pog, software can limit you and I feel it's a shame because with better software the songs would sound a bit nicer I think! I used to use Fast Tracker 2 and if you heard my songs in that compared to my ones in Reason you'd see what I mean. Still, doesn't mean you can't make good stuff with what you have.
