The whole time you’ve spent chatting shit on here you could have made a couple of tunes at least. Log off mate.

dj_feend · June 10, 2015, 12:48am

I assume youve read the part where i said i didnt have software? And just in case you skip this post as well where i clearly repeat that i dont have software i will repeat the fact that i dont have software, again. Ok. Here goes me telling you why i cant make tunes (because i have no software): I DONT HAVE SOFTWARE.

you have a smartphone. get a beatmaker app or whatsoever. download free daws, use online browser daws, do just something.

Reaper is shareware (pay if you want), and there’s free plugins out there like Synth1.

dj_feend · June 10, 2015, 2:19am

I Was doimg that last year but i got frustrated with the small amount that i could do with the free apps.

dj_feend · June 10, 2015, 2:20am

Whats this reaper stuff about?

Uncle_Jonno · June 10, 2015, 2:21am

Also, it really ate me up that i was makimg little tunes with soumds created by other people. It was so horrible. Made me feel like a shit wannabe.

dj_feend · June 10, 2015, 2:25am

So its not software itself, but its something to go along with software?

Uncle_Jonno · June 10, 2015, 2:25am

It’s a complete standalone DAW (except for a good synth).

dj_feend · June 10, 2015, 2:26am

So i download this on my phone? Is that what you are sayimg? And i can save my creations?

Uncle_Jonno · June 10, 2015, 2:28am

You’ll need a computer. And yes it can save.

dj_feend · June 10, 2015, 2:32am

Oh my god. I dont have a computer dude. I was actually just going to start with FL when i got a pc. I wasnt trying to think about software until i could get to work with it firsthand. Are you implying that i should read up on stuff anyway? Not a bad idea. How much content compared to fl does reaper have to work with?

Uncle_Jonno · June 10, 2015, 2:33am

FL probably has better stuff. I use Ableton Live.

dj_feend · June 10, 2015, 2:34am

So you dont know much about reaper? Just that its a free software?

Uncle_Jonno · June 10, 2015, 2:35am

I have used both Reaper and FL before. I prefer FL if you don’t use third party plugins.

dj_feend · June 10, 2015, 2:41am

Whats the license thing about? Says you can pay for two different licenses. That mandatory?

Uncle_Jonno · June 10, 2015, 2:44am

“The evaluation version of REAPER is fully functional, even without a license key.”

If you’re not making money, they do prefer that you pay the $60 after 60 days, but it should still work. That’s their policy, so…
