You all know ejay software, right?
Is there any programs as simple as that (or close to that), that will allowe someone to compose music other than rave/techno/hip hop? Perhaps orchestral (sp?) music? |

philharmonik
can be used as a standalone, which i guess in there mind justifys the price tag. altho on the same site check out sampletank, which you can get in a more orchestral flavour. either that or sample cds and a budget version of acid maybe. |

then a good sample cd and a cheap audio sequancer. u can get a version of emagic around that allows up to 8 audio tracks for like 10 - 20 quid. or there should be a version of acid around for like 80 - 100 and i personally recomend acid for dealing with audio due to the way it auto timestretches. however i havnt been following them scince they went from sonic foundry to sony, the latest versions are becoming a bit jack of all trades and i always liked it becuase it was a pure audio sequencer. so i use an *abandoned* version of it i suppose. having said that using the old version of it means i can get 40 tracks of audio running on a gig machine no problem, the modern versions though i cant get anywhere near that if i want it to work.
oh yeah and sample cds start from around 20 quid but for a good quality orchestral one expectt to pay something in the region of 60 quid. or just go out mugging untill you raise 600 bucks... |

Hmm, what about programs like Music Maker Deluxe 11 from Magix? (there is a demo there but I am not sure what to make of it yet)
It is cheap 29.99 from Amazon and it comes with 2500 samples. Kompakt looked very nice but it is 150+ so that is off my league. I think I saw Acid Pro once some time ago and I found myself just looking at it having no idea what to do next LOL. |

i havnt checked out the latest version of music maker but i had an older version of it and i was very impressed. it uses logics core without the enviroment level and the fact is most people dont actually need the enviroment. as a next step from the horrific ejay i reckon you could do worst.

Do you know in simple terms what is the difference between music maker and music studio? I have looked and looked but I can't figure it out.

i thnik music maker has 8 audio tracks, up to 6 virtual instruments. and tons of midi tracks. music studio is like a 12 track audio multitracker or something. you have to start knowing about your sound card config as well. check on there site as to what the latest versions are compatable with.

I am also considering Sonar, Cubase SE, Fruityloops. So many choices, so little time, so small budget for the year.
