Music Software Programs - Have Everything And Really Try To Do Everything
I've been playing with music production software programs ever since I downloaded a trial version of Cool Edit back in high school. It was sort of clunky, but I absolutely adored it. I suddenly had an effective program in my hands that could do all sorts of musical things that I had never ever imagined possible.
I could synthesize my own tones, give them different ambiances and effects, layer various tracks on top of one another, play things backwards - you name it. By the standards of today's most effective music production software programs, it wasn't very powerful, but at the time it definitely blew me away.
Creating music was a dream of mine at that time. I even contemplated going to college to start a music industry career. One of my brothers was heavily involved in the music business as a local performer in LA.
Even though he wasn't actually generating a career out of it, he did have a nice tidy supplementary income from his shows. I didn't have the skills to become a musician, but I did possess an ear for music. I could take a great track and make it better - a skill that all music producers need to have.
I decided to get some serious music production software program once I left high school. I was a realist.
Although the technology wasn't quite up to what it really is right now, I still knew that music production programs had been the wave of the future.
Purchasing racks and racks of studio equipment was prohibitively pricey - especially for a beginner sound recording engineer like myself. The software program for music production cost several hundred dollars, but this was absolutely nothing in comparison to the costs of good sound recording equipment.
What I didn't realize at the time was how many different types of music production software programs there are, and how different the outcomes had been between them. A standard music production program could run from 50 dollars to 500, I know to have the exact same features.
A few had been basically music recording and mixing programs, created to do several tracks and clean up the sound quality. Others were made for electronic music recording artists.
They had music sampling, advanced effects, and MIDI capabilities. I slowly and gradually realized that if you wanted to become a recording engineer, you needed to have one of almost everything and be able to do it all.
You could not very well have someone come into your recording studio and not in a position to access the equipment he necessary. I chose to learn it all.
So, I did my research and checked out rock artists and radio rock online by searching: rock music listen.
