Making music is a creative process in which many people are involved. The composer gives life to the melody, the arranger gives expressiveness to this melody, the musicians sound it, and the soloist leads the melody. But it is possible to unite all these people in one person thanks to computer programs for processing and creating music.
Instructions
Step 1
1. The Internet offers many programs for making music - both paid and free; both simple and quite complex. Start with simple programs for beginners, with a simple interface, but by no means primitive content. You will get great pleasure working in them, and the desire to develop in you will only grow. Here are some of them: https://cjcity.ru/soft/90-1.html, https://www.promixing.ru/programmi/1-sekvensors/103-fl-studio-10-new.html. And if you decide to become a DJ, then first you need to go here:
Step 2
Free programs, unlike paid ones, do not contain descriptions. If you already have a lot of experience with sound, this shouldn't be a problem. But if you are just entering the world of creating computer music, problems may arise when working on your own. In this case, first learn how to work with video tutorials or in a text version for beginners. Links to them are here:
Step 3
Download programs that you rarely find in free distribution in an abridged version. It can be either a demo version in which you can only work for a certain period of time, such as Cakewalk Sonar: https://www.sonarmusic.ru/index.php/2-uncategorised.html; or a free version, which will lack some functions of a full-fledged program, like MuLab 4.1.8: https://www.bestfree.ru/soft/media/making-music.php. The purpose of such a release of the program for free download is clear: after working in the program and evaluating its capabilities, you will pay for it in full.
Step 4
Choose on sites offering software any audio editors for cutting and combining musical fragments, various effects, converting a recording, overlaying sound. There are a lot of them. For example, on this site:
Step 5
Find special programs if you need a narrow focus. It is necessary to correct the intonation purity of a vocal or an instrument - choose Antares Auto-Tune, you need to create a mix - Virtual DJ will do; decided to work on music with virtual instruments - you will do just fine with Sample Logic Synergy; orchestral arrangement required - go for it with ProjectSAM Symphobia; you are a professional and you need a studio - work in Cubase 5.
