Sign in to disble this ad
does anyone know of any good software that is geared towards creating this sort of music? I remember playimg MTV music creator on the PS1, and it was a lot of fun. But I would like to seriously get into some real electronic music.

| | | | FLStudio (formerly Fruityloops) is kinda geared towards electronica. There's also Reason. |

Are there any open source ones? I like using open source if possible.

Fruityloops was what I was going to recommend, I used it for a while and it was pretty easy and had some good sounds. They have a demo if you want to check it out.
And here's a link to their main site. http://www.flstudio.com/

If you check out Hitsquad you can find all manners of programs to make music. You can probably find an all-in-one program for free, or piece together something.
I use Cubase. I like the sequencer and other aspects of the program, though there are some things I'm not crazy about.
Also, you can check the Harmony Central forums. They always have good stuff there. |

This is a thread I made a little while ago - if you get into using VST instruments, you'll find some cool free stuff in there. |

| | | | Reason has some very good sounding soft synths. however, i'll also suggest Project5 because of how easy it is to use.
