So you want to make music?
Don't know where to start in this sea of music?
You chose the right place.
In my early career I started my first productions with my PC and a program called Fruity Loops version 8, I would then edit the waves I created in a program to make them full length, the program being Cool Edit Pro.
After having mastered both these programs, I tried various programs such as Ableton, and Logic Pro.
Ableton is a great program,however it's rather restricting and first hand using this program is quite overwhelming. Ableton is a program unlike that of Fruity Loops, where as in you have one wave and create note by note your song, where as in Ableton is one wave (sound) that is already set to a particular scale (or tune), which is creatively limiting.
My favorite program being Logic Pro made only for Mac, which in this field of Music it is a must to get an excellent computer. Logic is amazing program because it's complex, yet it's easy to use and is really an all in one program for Music Production. You can create your songs, then edit the timing, even plug in directly for example with a keyboard,guitar, or microphone.
The sound effects that come with Logic are rather endless, I've been using this program on and off for almost 2 years and still haven't used every single wave sample or yet mastered this amazing program.
My Newest album which I am currently working on is made primarily with Logic Pro.
