is way over my head in technical difficulty. My jaw dropped at first sight of all the bells and whistles.
Can anybody recommend an easier program to manufacture original music on? Something that provides keys and drums (no plug-ins needed) and a simple user interface with a 4-8 track set-up?
If I donāt invest in a real microphone, Iāll have to lay my vocals down on my phone and upload them. A headache waiting to happen.
I dabbled in a small niche subset of these programs. I tried making chip music for a brief spell with a program called FamiTracker. It emulates the NES sound chip to produce authentic āchipā (8-bit) music. It has a little learning curve, but I got the hang of it.
Iāve always wanted to try out one of the big name DAWs (i.e. Fruity Loops Studio, Logic Pro, Abelton Live, Renoise) but I never got around to it. Theyāre probably all pretty intimidating at first. If you have a Mac, I think Apple GarageBand is supposed to be beginner friendly.
What kind of music are you trying to make and whatās your OS?
I actually liked that piece way more than I expected to, but more interested in 8 track than 8-bit.
Pop, inspirational, dark industrial. Iām trying to remember how many finished lyrics/melodies I have on my digital recorder (which I canāt find yet).
Okay, yeah, chip music trackers like FamiTracker are another world.
Cool.
Check out FL Studio, Mixcraft, and Bitwig - I donāt know if any of these are beginner programs but Iāve heard good things about them. LMMS didnāt look bad either, especially since itās totally free.
Maybe if I can find the little things I made. The song above isnāt mine, btw, itās what I aspired to make. I may actually get into this stuff again.
