While on that vibe whats the best program to master with thats easy to download off the net? Mastering is not my strong point.
As for producing I have the most fun with Acid Pro. Unfortunatly I can't run the latest version because my computer is like ~5 years old running win 95. I've pretty much given up on playing with Acid Pro because I can't master anything I make.
Ejay Zestie!! haha
No, seriously.... ummm
I take it youve got Fruityloops? Get your hands on a sequencer (Cubase, Logic, Sonar - You can even get some cut-down versions for free on the net) and try using the two together. Make your loops & a track blueprint in Fruityloops, export them & make your tune in the sequencer.
frooty is perfectly acceptable for sequencing. then you export each track to wav and load them up in vegas for mastering. youre going to need a few decent plugs too. Get the sonic foundry ones and all the waves bundles.
or you just make the whole thing in nuendo logic or cubase.
junglist naturally and vsampler but i reackon halion and battery is just as good. juno is wicked and so is absynth but i really think you should have a look at junglist.
