What software to use?

Im sure this question has been asked millions of times on this forum so sorry to those who continuously look at threads like this...

But i really want to create my own trance. Right now im checking out Ableton Live, which seems ok but i need to download more samples ect.

What would be the best program to use?

Thanks

I think Live and Logic tend to be the programs of choice

I just had a look at Logic Studio it looks pretty awesome...Any chance i will get this running on Windows?

It's an Apple program so I don't think so.

ok fair enough. Do you do any producing yourself?

Not yet

Also, I wonder if any producers use Pro Tools to make EDM? BTW that's pretty much the mother of all sound production programs.

For a professional studio recording live instruments yes Pro Tools is amazing, but for a home studio producing electronic music, it is WAYYYYY overkill, and I think it doesn't handle MIDI as well, but I think they addressed that issue in their last update.

you'll also probably get a better response in the production forums as well

ok thanks for the posts guys...just one more thing.

Im new to all this...iv listened to trance for a few years but in terms of production and mixing, i have no idea. Is there a place where i can read about all the different things involved in it, rather than me posting random threads full of questions?

Thanks

Production studio stickies especially tutorial master list. Also, go download demos, of fl studio, sonar, ableton live, reason, reaper, and maybe cubase (not sure that there is a demo). Try them see which one you like the most.

for the productions side, go to the productions forum. as said, there is a sticky with a ton of tutorials to help you begin.

for the mixing and djing side, you can always check on this djing forum and ask questions. unless it's not a blatantly obvious question that could easily be answered by read the instructions, or by doing a quick google search (or search function on this website), then most people here are decently quick to answer and help out.

I'm amazed at the overall level of helpfulness in this redundant thread.

maybe it is because the guy is humble and has done some research before asking... but meh maybe people are feeling nice today...
