Where can i download a program where you can make techno music for free? Like fruity look, acid, reason3.0, but for free and you have full limitations
I need to know an easy, free way to make techno music using only my computer. I’ve tried MadTracker 2, and buzzmod synth, but they don’t seem to be working out for me. I do not want trials, or limited versions. Thanks 
Hey i want to making kool techno music like the stuff basshunter makes.
i need to no the site, the name of the program and if possible how ezy it is to use
Ty =)
I’ve recently been wondering what kind of programs I need to make techno music, but I’d prefer not to purchase anything. Are there any free techno music programs – preferably some that I could also record myself singing or playing an instrument along with it? I don’t have a mac, so garageband or garageband-related programs won’t help.
Before you buy more digital music from iTunes or similar sites, consider the cost savings of accessing free MP3 music. That’s right–absolutely free. There is no financial obligation, no credit card authorization required. You can build your own custom library of country, soul, jazz, and techno music all without spending a dime.
How Is Our Free MP3 Music Different?
This is not a file-sharing system. In fact, we highly discourage the use of Kazaa-like systems. Piracy is hurting our music industry–instead of downloading free MP3 music illegally, MPFree.com is helping consumers and our sponsors through the creation of mutually beneficial relationships.
Rather than stealing music from the recording industry, we are bringing some of the profit back. However, the expense is not in the hands of the consumer. Although you get access to a library of 500,000 quality sound files, there won’t be any direct cost to you. Instead, our sponsors buy digital music files on your behalf just for completing offers from our advertisers.
In this relationship, the music industry receives a portion of the proceeds from the transactions, the sponsors learn valuable information about their products and services, and the consumer has access to free MP3 music. Thus far, our efforts have been extremely successful as evidenced by our growing membership. Join today and start earning free MP3 music files instantly.
Not only will you be able to listen music free of worry, but you’ll also receive unique offers from our sponsoring companies. Free products, services, or discounts can further save you money. There’s no cost to join, so sign up today by entering your name and email address. MPFree.com is the most affordable way to obtain new music safely and securely.
I sometimes don’t like to admit it, but I am nostalgic. I like 80s music, old type computer games (Street Fighter, Defender..come on!) and classic techno making machines.
Why?
I think they forged through and made todays music what it is. Machines like the TB303, TR909, JD800 and the famous Moog- what an effect they have made on dance and techno music! The rise in popularity of techno, i.e, with the makers and in the audience, was down to the cool sounds and the general compatability (sound wise) between the machines were the key.
In some cases limited numbers were made and the increase in popularity only meant two things. 1) An increase in the same old songs, rehashed versions that sounded similar in everyway, and 2) The price went into overdrive. Machines like the TB303 were selling for silly money. This trend is still being seen today. You can buy one of these machines for between $600-$1000.
And why?
The old favourite answers are “because you can see the lights moving”, “Its just great twisting those dials”- and so on. This is where to me nostalgia stops, especially when you want to make techno. Sure they were great sounding machines, sure if you didn’t have their sounds in your music you were classed as old fashoined…but for $1000!
This isn’t ravings from a person who never had one at all. I have a Roland MC202. I love the little box of tricks. The little rubber keyboard is novel and the sliders are cool. However, once all the fiddling is out of the way. Once you have gone oooOOhhh…there isn’t really anything left. Thats the problem for me.
Once the coolness has worn off, you have to go through extra work to hook it up into your set-up. Do you sample the loops off the machine? Do you buy a synch box? Do you MIDIfy it (costing extra cash)? I don’t mean to be all doom and gloom, and if you do have one, keep it- they are cool to work with. But if you don’t…well, look at the other options.
There are two great alternatives out there in Internet land that can help us out.
1) Sample sites. Nowadays they house great sample loops, and single hit sounds from the various machines. Housed in sample packs, you will notice that the sounds sound similar to each other because the sampler has twisted the dial a little and then sampled the sound. Now you have loads of sounds altered slightly. These are pretty cool. The only problem is that you get the samplers idea of a good sample. Also you don’t get all the dials being twisted together- too restricted. However as a free source of nostalgic sounds they can’t be beat.
So we have identified one sound source (for free), however we have also noticed some problems- a lack of freedom, and because we are a creative bunch, we have to find another way.
2) VSTs. Wow, what a revolution to the music world. A fantastic resource that should help musicians who are looking to make music with little, or no cash. VSTs are either effects (like distortion) or they are some sort of music sounding device (like synths (called softsynths), drum machines etc). Some are stand alone programs, or some need a host program. The most well known softsynth has got to be Rebirth, the TB303 and TR909 emulator. It is really cool, emulating the machines really well, however, the best thing about this softsynth is that it is free. Now there are plenty of VSTs out there that are free, offering great synth sounds or great effects.
The possibility of sound creation using VSTs has now become infinite. The actual sound of the sounds has become endless, so now there should be unique sounding musics out there. Are there any disadvantages? Well not really. Some sound the same, and some of the pay for ones are expensive, they are cool, but too expensive.
So what you can do, is add VSTs together, add an effect plug-in over a synth VST. The cool thing is. Nostalgic sounds can be processed through these plug-ins to bring them more up-to-date, and to add a flavour of your desire.
So, going back to our original question do we need a $1000 techno machine. Well as every diplomat states, yes and no. If I had a TR909 I would keep it, sample it, and then add VST effects to give the sounds more spice, because they are good, no doubt, but music moves on and you have to follow. If I didn’t have a TR909 I wouldn’t be upset, I would search out the samples from the various sample sites, add again the VST effects and get the sound that I want…for free.
If you have a low budget (or no budget), there are now no obsicles to stop you recreating those sounds that make your music sound like it was made with a $1000+ set-up.
