Question

I want to buy a music software which enables me to play music on a piano and mix with it on my computer? I would like to download a music software that enables me to play music off my piano and mix with it on my computer and add effects to it like bass, guitar, high, low ect. I have heard of like FL studio and that but I want to know which one I would benefit off the most. And if you have any like video tutorials of them which I can watch and learn about that would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

Alex

Answer 1

Yes, FL Studio can do that. You can download the demo to try it out here: http://www.image-line.com/downloads/flstudiodownload.html



With the Producer Edition you can either record from a midi keyboard or record live from a real piano if you have a mic.



Here is a tutorial to get started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQDvnfleST0



If you like it and decide to get the full version, here is a promo link to save 10% from the official website: https://support.image-line.com/jshop/shop.php?offer=Default&promo=EDAJCI416



Good luck on your music!

Adobe Audition or Garage Band might work for you. You can also find tons of music software on downloads.info. They have software you can download for free and some that you can try a free trial. This is a great way to find the music software you are looking for.



You might be able to find an all-in-one program or find one for percussions, one for bass, etc. They also have DJ software and music management software that might work. Both of the above are user friendly and you can find tutorials online.

There are many to choose from. Pro Tools is the industry standard. It is used from home studios all the way to top of the line studios. The full version is a bit pricy, but you would definitely benefit from it. You can search Pro Tools tutorials on youtube. You can pick up limited editions on ebay for pretty cheap.

Cubase is another good on to at least learn on. You can find it on ebay as well fro pretty cheap.

I would recommend Pro Tools, but it's really up to you!



As far as videos go, just search Pro Tools or Cubase Tutorials and you'll get a good feel of what goes on.



Hope this helps and God Bless!

Take a look at Reaper as well. It's a fantastic program, has all the features of a professional-level DAW, and you can download it for $60.
