help. best prog for music creation ?

Post by tomtefan »

what title says.. and aimed for games. pc, phone, ipad etc.

i have a "budget" at around 30 euro.

iam thinking about ejay. its simple to use. (tried one from piratebay).
but iam thinking i want to buy the thing now instead, as i aim to use it commercially.
thinking about ejay virtual studio. (should be a mix of all others. i think).

or are there any free progs ? with alot of sounds, and easy to use.

I used something called FL(Fruity Loops) studio. I think it is free and it's quite good.

FL Studio (what Fruity Loops is now called) is still commercial software as far as I can see. Here is a page that lists some alternatives to FL Studio. Some are commercial, and some are open source, so look at the open source ones.

FL Studio is pretty much considered the bar for music creation software that is accessible to newcomers with little music-making experience (such as myself), but also scales-up to be quite complex and flexible for professional production.

eJay is pretty much just a toy program to play around with, and has nowhere near the tools to be a serious contender. I would put it more in line with those music making "games" on the PS2. There are open source alternatives that are much more serious and more usable than eJay.

It will take some time to wrap your head around, so I suggest checking out some tutorials on YouTube (there are tons of them). eJay may be simpler to use, but FL Studio is a real, professional music production tool :)
