      Help out a bit?

      I'm looking for a good computer program (preferably free) that I can use to create and edit music with. Anyone know of any? Maybe someone who makes LD songs...?

      For editing, Audacity is generally regarded as the best free option. Creating... How do you mean? There are a multitude of MIDI music creation freeware programs out there, and for percussion I quite like Hydrogen, which I think is available for Windows now. Try searching for music creation software on SoftPedia.

      What kind of computer?
      MAC- Garageband(Included)/Finale Notepad (Free Download)
      PC- ???/Finale Notepad (Free download)

      Finale requires knowledge of music.

      search some up in google, i'm sure you will find something. What do you need it for? Recording live music, or what?

      Hey guys, I'm back. Feels good man
