Mix music on PC with free DJ programs

Mix music on PC with free DJ programs One of the first things I tried to do when my first computer was given to me was music programs, programs to create music without knowing how to play. It was not long before my aspirations as a DJ and music producer vanished into thin air because, even if it is true that these programs are well usable even by those who do not know how to play any instrument, it is also true that to create their own music it takes a lot. patience and attention.
In fact, it is the same patience that it takes when you intend to use programs like Photoshop to edit images and create new ones.


Multitrack programs


These software can be used to combine musical "loops" - short combinations of notes or simple sounds - and arrange them on a striped interface to create a composition. For example, if we imagine breaking down electronic music, we see that it is made up of a more or less regular bass, a monotone background sound and a three or four note melody; by placing these three tracks in three different lines you can make it so that, during playback, the song created first begins with the monotone sound, then the regular bass is superimposed on it and finally the melody is inserted.
Among the best multitrack programs to create music and mix audio starting from scratch there is Fruity Loops or Magix Music Maker which however are professional level programs and which cost.

1) The best free multitrack program to create music from scratch but also to mix the existing one it is therefore the free version of Fruity Loops, the opensource program LMMS.
It is a professional (not easy to use) studio to download and install on your pc to produce music with your computer, create it, and mix sounds. LMMS also includes a MIDI keyboard and interface, similar to Fl Studio, it is simple to use even if it is very varied and full of possibilities. I am not an expert so I remain brief by listing some main features even if it would take a whole page to dedicate to this excellent program. The music editor allows you to create music without being experts and musicians and without needing to know the notes, just using your ear and composing the loops and tracks made available as you like. The creation of sounds and rhythms is accompanied by the piano roll to modify the bases already included in the program and create melodies. The mixer is 64-channel and there are many sound effects with which you can create a remix worthy of the best producer and professional DJs like David Guetta, Bob Sinclair and Dj Tiesto.

6) Reaper allows you to create songs and music from scratch with absolute simplicity of interface (remember, however, that it also takes a lot of patience).
Reaper works as if it were one virtual music studio and allows you to import any type of audio sound or track, both mp3 and Midi with a wide choice of sound effects. Everything can be processed, edited and customized and the song can be recorded or saved.
I could now pass myself off as a music and composition expert but I prefer to report the Reaper guide and features page (in English). In my own small way, more than to create music that I am not capable of, I have found this program very useful for mix mp3 tracks dance music and compose a mixed music playlist like the one that professional DJs do, which is the main function of the professional Traktor DJ program. Reaper is not actually free but the current version, at the end of the 30-day trial, still allows you to use the software in all its features, even if, every time you start it, a warning will appear asking you to buy. the program.
