Can't go wrong with FL Studio, I have mates that are pro with it, and it's pretty easy to learn.

Hey man!


This stuff is my specialty...

The programs I use on Windows are;

ProTools - A more premium program, VERY costly if you're paying for a full license.
Reason - Very user friendly and easy to use.
Ableton Live - Similar to reason in terms of user friendliness, limited in comparison to other programs.

The program I use on Mac is;

Logic Pro - Very complicated, but well worth teaching yourself. Very complex and detailed recording tools, including mastering and mixing capabilities built in. I use this for most of my music production work with Obsidian Radio.


Also remember that the programs are just the beginning. You must also get all the plug-ins you desire and any hardware required, such as synthesizers, beat pads etc. In the past three years, my co-producer and I have spent a combined effort of in excess of $40,000 on studio equipment. That is for full professional and commercial use, however!

If you're looking for a starter program with some easy sh*t in it and pre-recorded sounds already included, try Mixcraft. $100 for a full license and easy as piss to use Similar to Sony Acid Studio!

Any music production Qs you have, feel free to ask me Feel free to check out the sh*t I make on;

I use FL studio, have been for a good year or so. Its good fun to use, especially if you can get some good packs for it.

I have a friend who uses Cubase, it's pretty good! Brilliant for mastering and mixing as well.

It's a bit hard to explain it verbally... I reckon you should look on youtube for tutorials, they make them pretty clear on there! That's how I learnt a lot of stuff, although I attended the SAE Institute for 12 months and earnt myself a diploma in music production Not much use to anyone though, at least I can use ProTools

Oh wow you went to SAE to! I did the degree but still no job in the industry at all

Yeah the new cubase is pretty cool how it can create a instrument track to along with what already record.

Pro tools is complicated for first time starting, but ableton should be alright if you get used to it.
