DJ software?
Reccommend a nice easy to use MacOSX freeware/shareware program so I can make some nice mashups!
Thanks!

yea there isnt much out there in the way of freeware/shareware that I know of. Traktor does have a time limited demo, with recording disabled. Traktor is pretty bad ass, and is the peice of software that most laptop dj's use (at least the ones I know). Its seems expensive, but compared to a set of worthwhile tables its a steal.
If you want a free sequencer you can check out rosegarden. I havnt tried it yet though. Of course all software is free if you know where to find it

Making digital music happens in two steps:
1) Make a bunch of sound samples. 2) Arrange sound samples in some sort of order. You'll need seperate tools for that. Audacity is a free, basic sound editor. Pro Tools is commonly used in professional setups, but it's costly. I like Tracktion instead. |

You get what you pay for. Freeware/Shareware is not the way to go.
You're probably looking for something like <a href="http://www.ableton.com" target=_blank>Ableton</a>. You might also look at <a href="http://www.synthzone.com" target=_blank>Synthzone.com</a>. They have lists and lists of resources for electronic music. What you're looking for is in the Music and Audio Software forum. I can't stress enough that you get what you pay for though. I'm not trying to tell you that you should go out and spend thousands of dollars ... Doug |

Looking forward to seeing the results of your work! I haven't done any myself, I'm not that clever. I checked the GYBO forum, but didn't get any hits on Mac or Macintosh, so I can't give you any advice. They do have links to a whole bunch of instrumentals and a cappellas, so that should give you a start.

There's always Audacity. It's free, open source software. Works well enough for my purposes, but I was never much into sound editing, so I don't know what it has/doesn't have.

Cubasis is good enough for mash-ups and isn't expensive, especially older versions. I picked it up for £10 English pounds in a bargain bin last year.
If you want to use free/shareware programs it is possible but you're going find it in unbearable pain in the arse to get your tracks in time with each other. #edit# Wow, this is an old thread. You must onto your second album by now, Sadistik. |
