Music Software
Hi , looking for free music software to create music, downloading acidXMC now, If any of you know a better 1 let me know, alot of the free stuff I have found is either limited or focuses on 1 style of music. I want something that can sample, loop and create beats for a varity of music, the library dosnt have to be vast, as long as I can upload my own samples and sounds. TY

Re: Music Software
Audacity is an audio recorder/editor. Not really for making music. I doubt you'll have much luck with free software.
But who pays for costly software these days...?In Order to Dance

Re: Music Software
Audacity is nowhere near as easy to use as Acid. No comparison on simplicity. Audacity is great, but really terrible looping software, just not fast enough to get things done.
IMO Reason is the best looping software. Has a bit of a learning curve over Acid but is much much more flexible. Though better than the two of them combined(since it pretty much is them combined, and with stuff similar to Audacity) is Cakewalk's Sonar. That's the best software I've ever used, though I've heard Cubase is really good too. Cubase is also slightly cheaper(though the comparison between $500 software and $650 software is what exactly?)
The main thing is that you wont find any good free music software. I guess it's just not really a focus point in the OSS community. Another problem is that good music software is expensive, so really just take what you get cheap and only front for the good stuff if you're really serious(just note, the last thing you want to be doing is actually releasing tracks produced on cracked software).
Though one thing on free software, PowerTab is great for composing music to be then played and recorded.
