Beats and Loops

Are you into music? Do you create songs yourself?

Music and PC’s have come a long way since the early days when Atari pioneered midi composing on computers.

There are many programs which will allow you to compose music in a lot of creative ways. There are lots of types of equipment to help too.

You can build songs using construction kits of beats and loops for example. You can even use segments of music in the form of loops and connect them together in a program such as Acid or Ableton Live. It’s pretty easy and a lot of fun!

Of course if you want to create music from scratch you can do that too! Simply record musical performances with a midi sequencer or record the actual audio from an instrument or vocal performance.

One exciting new software program and controller is Kore 2 from Native Instruments. It helps you find sounds fast! (more…)
