: What software do Electronic musicians use to create their music?
A friend of a friend has been making music himself using a software (or softwares) that my friend doesn’t know.

Do you know what software that can generate artificial musical instruments sounds and mix them up like the DJs do?

Hai….

A famous term of your question is looping, looping means you have a standard basic music loop for drums, bass or other instrument, and modified the beat, tempo, sound or style, mixing it together to create an electronic song.

Nowdays there are many software for loop, like Fruity Loop, Nuendo, Sonar, Protools, Magix,etc.

All you need is a PC, a sound card with midi controller, and a midi instument. But you can also create your music with out midi instrument by editing existing loop, transpose it, change the tempo, modify the drum style, etc. But if you use a midi instrument (Creative Labs produce a cheap mini midi keyboard like common PC’s keyboard) you can create your own style easily.

You can learn it yourself, by downloading the relevant books of the software on internet.

It’s easy, only took 1 week to learn and become electronic musician, but you also must have musical skill.

Good luck for trying

All you need to do that is a computer. With a program like FL Studio, you don’t even need a MIDI keyboard (piano). You can use the keyboard on your computer to tigger the instruments in FL Studio. Of course, if you can get a MIDI keyboard it would be best though.

All you need is a USB to MIDI cable, about 30-40 bucks and start up FL Studio and you are good to go.

Check out the demo of FL Studio here: https://www.image-line.com/downloads/flstudiodownload.html

Make sure you read the F1 help manual to get started. You can import any VSTi (virtual instrument) into FL Studio. Image-Line makes several, the flagship being “Sytrus” which comes with the XXL version of FL Studio at a major discounted price.

If you end up liking FL Studio, here is a link I used to buy my FL Studio with a 10% discount on the ENTIRE first purchase, anybody can use it:

Once you buy FL Studio from image-line’s online shop, you get FREE LIFETIME updates..meaning you don’t pay a cent each year they release a new version (9,10,11, ect.. for free).

Good luck and have fun
