    I've been attempting to produce music for a month or two now, and I feel im getting into the swing of things. I'm actually quite uneducated on music software and was wondering which program do most people professional/amateur use? Atm im using FL but I don't really like it that much.

    Cheers,

    Richie.

    The 2 most commonly used DAWs in the pro audio world are Pro tools & Logic. Reaper is also a program that a lot of people have great time for. It's inexpensive and customizable.

    I reckon Logic and Pro Tools is way too complex to begin with. If you just want to get a few tracks down and get into using software, get yourself an Apple Mac of some sort and start with Garageband. When you get used to that and if you think you need more from your software then start looking at Logic and Pro Tools. (Both of which will also work on a Mac)

    then again, FL Studio is a pretty nice program to help you understand the mechanics of using software to create music. The learning curve is not too steep and you quickly understand how things happen and why. There's plenty to recommend it for a beginner and beyond.

    Once you've got a handle on things then you can move on with more objectivity. That was my experience of it anyway.
