operative451 Posted June 4, 2024 Posted June 4, 2024 Hi! Like it says up there, any recommendations on a really easy to use (like, REALLY easy) simple and free or cheap program i can use to lay down some drum patterns, drop in samples and make synthy noises? I used to use an ancient version of fl studio but i've actually forgotten how..! I've used Reaper for recording but not for ages, and i've seen a guy making drum patterns and synth tracks with it, is that doable? I used to be quite techie but have switched career and have had a few nasty bangs on the head since and my tech skills have dropped through the floor! Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks! :3 Quote

Thanks! :3 There are probably others but maybe give 'Waveform' by Traction a go. The free version comes with a couple of free Synths, FXs and a Drum Sampler, so need to download any other free Instruments and FX while you getting started. Links: Waveform Free There are plenty of free tutorial videos to get you up and running on their website as well. Tutorial videos | Tracktion This is what you get with the free version.
