Default confusion with some music software :S

hello everybody. im toally new to music software, i just wanted to jump in there. so naturally, i google free msuic making software or something. i followed a number of links and this is the one i picked.

I downloaded this and when i opened it, found that windows didnt know what thingy to use for that file type. Did a bit of googling and found that it is a plug in for VST. Then i looked into that and i got even more confused , i didnt know where to downlaod it or if i even had to or anything!!!

So, help is muhc needed at this point and i thought i would turn to people who knew what they were doing. So i google computer forum, and thats how i ended up here :].

Aask any questions you want, i will respond as best as i can. Many thanks, jamie

Are you willing to pay for the software?

A good music editing software is Audacity. Good DJ type music making softwares are Virtual DJ and FL Studio. You can make your own beats with FL Studio and with Virtual DJ you can mix two songs together and actually DJ them.

The plugin would work with FL Studio and it would also work with programs such as http://www.cockos.com/reaper/

If you used Linux I'd have a huge list of programs for you, but as you are probably a Windows user I don't know of many (any actually) free apps that will work as a VST host.

Btw, there's some way better VSTs out there that can be found at http://www.vstplanet.com/Instruments...nthesizers.htm and http://www.vst4free.com/plugins/getf...p?lng=en&id=54

Hope that helps!

Any synth that is a VST should work.
