Music creation software recommendations?

15 years ago General

So I know nothing of actual music making skills, i.e. reading, writing, playing an instrument but music is till something I had a great appreciation for. So I have decided I am willing to delve into music creation. Of coarse I need a decent program that I can get started with that isn't too difficult and free to use. Anyone have any recommendations?

The most common an versatile free program is audacity, or so I've heard. Personally I use GarageBand, but if you're looking to make loops don't even bother with that program. Another two I've heard good things about are Sony ACID Pro & FL Studio (aka "fruity loops"), though I'm not sure if thsoe are free or not.

fruity loops is the easiest to use if you don't play instruments but it is not a free program

Audacity is a good beginner program but if you want a really really good program then get Ableton Live 8 I use it for making stuff and live performances. It kinda advanced but after messing around with it then you get a better idea. It retails for about $900 but you can torrent it fo free

I know of a program that I used forever ago called Music Shake. You don't really have to have much expertise in the music division. It has a bunch of prerecorded melody and rhythmic lines, even vocals. It has the option to record your own stuff but I think it's fun to mess with if you have some free time.

It's a free download but I haven't used it for years.
