Hello all,

I am looking into some Music Mixing software for my computer:

- Cost would be below £200 G.B.P.

- There is no need to worry about Spec for my computer(s)

- I want some good software, nothing cheap and nasty also somthing that you people yourself use.

Ideas or links I can look into please?

Many thanks,

Rob

Hi Rob,

Are you looking to create music tracks or mix tracks a la Peter Tong?

I have had (limited) use of Sony Sound Forge for editing and knitting together tracks and I am about to start using Fruity Loops for creating some music.

Traktor for DJ style mixing, or Cakewalk Sonar 7 for recording "real" instruments, or Reason for all digital instruments

- Thanks for the help here, I have a few ideas on mixing a few tracks so Traktor sounds a good choice atm.

Im looking to stat by mixing some tracks, then advance to creating my own overtime. Thanks for the help and suggestion.

Might be worth looking at Sony's Acid Pro as well then.

Cubase SX is the boy for recording.

Cool Edit Pro 2 (old version of soundforge) great for wav editing and creating samples. It can also be used as a piece of recording software.

Thanks for that.

I think that I may be getting some decks in the next few weeks so would be great to record somthing and put it up online to get some feedback.

Many thanks,

You have PM!

You also have a PM

You'll need a decent soundcard to record with, the analog to digital converters of normal soundcards can't really hack proper recording.

PM if you want more info on recording.

Thanks for that - I have sent you a PM.

Thanks for your reply was really helpful,

A little late with a post I guess but meh, I use FL Studio, it's pretty awesome, and I'm sure I saw some guy hooked up his decks to the Fruity Scratcher and he could control it from there..

Anyways my music is on myspace: Tom Phillips on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Videos if you want to hear pretty decent results from FL Studio (I'm not being big headed or anythin.. :P)

cubase for making the music. i use mixmiester studio on my pc for making up mix compliations and does the job. really depends what you need it to do for you.
