I need something more than Audacity.
« on: 02 Apr 2008, 16:48 »
Are there any programs for PCs that are similar to Garage Band?  And what I mean by that is, all the different instrument samples and possibly the musical keyboard feature?  I'm probably SOL and really have no choice but to lay down the money for Garage Band or something like it, because there probably aren't that many quality freeware programs like that.

You could try FL Studio, that comes with quite a few intruments/ VSTs and it's quite easy to use.

Wikipedia has a few freeware Windows-based sequencers.

FL Studio is the way and the path.

Wait so you're letting something that happened 10 years ago ruin your quality of life? What are you, America? :psyduck:

Expect lots of screaming, perversely fast computer drums and guitars tuned to FUCK

Not really. The standard edition is only about £50.

The standard edition sucks though. Just pirate the producer edition off of Pirate Bay. If you ever make half decent music out of it, then you can buy it.

how are the samples that come with it?

or should you get those from other places? (for both the producer version and the standard)

EDIT: you can get the producer version for 160 off amazon. That's not really that expensive (not that I can afford it right now, but it's cheaper than a new guitar, or a drum set, or etc.).

The instruments you get with it are okay, I recommend downloading as many free VSTs as you can get your hands on though. Also here's a good website for free samples
http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/index.php You can just run them through a default sampler in FL.
