SNOWY_FOX'S PROFILE

I've been pondering what to do next after the town track is finalized, and a temple one might be a good one.

I wonder if anyone's made a choir sample pack or device for Reason. I'll have a rummage through the store later and see if I can find something suitable. If it's not too expensive, I'll pick it up and have a crack at this. I've been wanting some decent choir sounds anyway.

I ain't no money to be throwing away right now so i'm (hoping) that I can find a way for the demo to work to my advantage....
Oh and thanks for the advice...

It is a sad truth that making music is expensive business. If you're serious about getting into it, another valid starting route to take is to see if you can get ahold of a cheap workstation keyboard, second-hand, with an on-board sequencer. I've heard some good stuff people have made with just such things. The learning curve varies from machine to machine, though, and getting the finished song from the workstation to your computer may be equally as simple or complex. If you know someone who already has a keyboard with a built-in sequencer, have a fiddle with theirs and see if it's for you.

Another good option that will keep your work inside the box and your wallet in your pocket is tracker software. You can find many music trackers for free, but they tend to be less user-friendly than DAWs like Logic and Reason, and you'll often have to find your own sounds. They were popular throughout the 90's, and produce MOD files, which can sound a bit dated these days, but for the purpose of RPG Maker games, that's actually quite ideal. Google around and see if you can find one that appeals.

Finally, it's not a music program, but Audacity is an excellent audio editing tool, which you will probably want sooner or later, even if only for converting audio files from one format to another. Furthermore, it's free!

Hope this helps!
