    Yeah if u wanna make loops use Fruityloops. That's a pretty killer program.

    I find most music creation programs take a little bit of getting use to. If u decided to try Fruityloops, maybe download some tutorals as well.

    Just get a pringles tin, fill it with rice and sticky tape the lid down. Get a tape recorder, and your set to go Garth. You can play till the cows come home.

    I would also like to start making some sick hip hop beats. It requires alot of sampling though. And time. And brains.

    I have Sony Acid, one of the BEST music creation and its very professional, but very steep learning curve and its not free.

    propellorheads reason 2.5 or higher easy as hell to make music with this try out the demo only runs for twenty minutes but after twenty minutes you can have the meanest tunes happenning but you cant save them dont have any songs small enough to post .get the full version of this it is wicked.

    reason is pretty good, its the industry standard for the professionals. only thing i dont like about reason is that you cant actually record external sources, you need to re-wire it into pro tools or cubase,etc. to do so.
    this makes it hard if you want to do vocals or something over the song you've created.

    you can export audio to some other programs then record vocals pretty easily soundforge and acidpro by sony are very good if you want to record music.Even multitrack studio (free) is an allright program use it all the time to record our band when jamming.

    yeah, i just use pro tools for actual recordings, pro tools rocks. just saying it would be better if reason had the capabilty to record as well as construct music like some other similar programs.
