Been playing around with music for a little over a decade, since my older brother detected my creative interest and I inherited an old keyboard and Reason 3.0, an arguably ancient version I still work with today. In spite of some past adventures (under a different band name) music has always been just an outlet of expression/imagination for me, and I was never really motivated to upgrade anything or invest in a different program.
Yet it's been very inspiring over the past year, coming to SC and now being introduced to this site and listening to the talented artists who compose worlds and stories and also - noticing how polished music programs have become!! I think, I finally might be able to more accurately, tangibly create the sounds in my head. Excited to work toward that step! - but feel a little lost at the moment, for which I know I'll be doing research on music software, but wanted to get recommendations if possible as far as what programs are more user friendly, economical, etc. (I tend to gravitate toward strings, choir, heavy beats and empowering synth samples, in case any of this info helps)
So what do you guys like to use? :) (Also, sorry in advance for genre squishing 'cinematic' artists; I know you're all much more than that!^^)
