There are a number of variables here.

What kind of music are you looking to create and how do you want to make it? Do you want to write sheet music? A good free program for that is the trial version of Noteworthy Composer (it's a trial, but it doesn't expire). Another is Finale Notepad. I use Sibelius 4, which is amazing, but is not free.

You could use sampling and use a program like FL Studio to make your tracks. You could also record what you want live with a microphone and (optional) and free editing software (like Audacity).

I'm most familiar with sheet music, though, so that is why I haven't gone in-depth to the other methods. I'm sure others here can give you some good information, though.

Cool. Thanks

Is it hard to make music with these programs? I've always wanted to try a hand at making music, but I could never be bothered to because I assumed that it would be difficult

With most sheet music programs today, it's very easy to get started right away. Most of them are very user-friendly for the basic stuff.

The most difficult part is trying to make something nice. That is why you cannot force it. That's why these music competition are so long. You just have to get something and just roll with it.

I recently submitted a composition for a score call for the Orlando Philharmonic. My piece was a little less than 5 minutes long, but it took me about 2 months to write it. That kinda puts some things into perspective.

I suggest you go for it, though. Go for it and see what comes out of your fingers.

I don't even believe in conflict diamonds. That's just a movie. Think about it. Ain't nobody thought about nothing about no conflict diamonds until the movie came out.

I don't have the program in front of me right now, so I can't help you there, but just keep fiddling with it and look around in the Help file and I'm sure you can find what you're looking for.

Can you submit more then one song?

If you want to do a multi-movement thing, I think that would be fine. You can only enter one entry, though.

Standard Member Group: Members Posts: 39 Member No.: 5590 Joined: 6-August 08 Status: (0d)	Hey can I enter this music comp? If so, the song I'm entering I call Tetristorm V since when played at a less-spooky tempo, or different instrument, it sounds kinda like the tetris theme. (Which was the inspiration of this song) (My name on deviantart is vsaadam, I decided that I wanted a knew name here... it says so on the description of the deviation that I submitted it in, I'm just pointing that out so people don't think I stole it...) I think I might have over-done it a bit with the thunderbolts... But it's suppose to be spooky, so I don't think it's too much... --------------------
