Garage is a awesome program for music editing and making raw little loops and cool music.
Unfortuantly as most of you know it is only for macs! RAWR!
I don't use macs often nor do I own one!
Anyone know of any freeware(or not) programs for windows?
"Hi I am a PC, and I am a mac!"
Mac: I have garageband!
PC: *Knocks Mac out and pours water on HDDs!*
PC 1 Mac 0!
lol
Thanks

It may not be freeware, but the programmers say it'll never be for Mac or Linux; though i could really use it for Linux... However, although it is not freeware, the demo allows you to export the songs you made, you just can't save. Anywho, the program is called FruityLoops. One of the best (although, in my opinion, it is the best) music-making programs out there! Also, you're not allowed to sell the songs you make with the program without their license.

Well you might try with some emulators but I don't know how good it will work because ususally such things doesn't work good aand even if they do they crash often and as you are working with sound which in fact takes a lot of the system resources then you might end in trouble using it on your system and having damaged some part of equipment even.

Replying to Damen
I have been wondering the same thing for a while, Damen.
The only thing I've found is called Ableton.
But I guess that is for more intermediates.
I don't know what kinda program you're looking after, but you chould check it out.
I downloaded a freeversion for a month or so, so it isn't free.
I just wanna let you know...

Check out Mixcraft 4 which is made by Acoustica. That's what I use instead of garage band. I've heard it's similar. The bad thing is that it's only a free 7 day trial and after that they let you buy it for $65. Still, you get a free 7 day trial so you can see if you like it or not.

Whats a program like Garageband that you can use your keyboard for making your own instrumentals?Garage Band! Windows Version?
hey, I just joined an upcoming record label and we're are trying drastically to make some beats, but I don't have a mac! I'm looking for a program that you use your own keyboard as keys for making instrumentals...Any Ideas?

Try Audacity. It's a free recording software. I have recorded a number of my own songs with it. There are no restrictions. You can find it online.

I really like Mixcraft as a GarageBand for Vista, the interface is almost identical and you can use your GarageBand loops in it too. The latest version has an onscreen keyboard and musical typing like GarageBand and you can even edit Video with it. The only difference really lies in the shortcuts which are different from GarageBand, but personally I was up and running on it within an hour or so and I am certainly no genius when it comes to software! This review I found pretty much covers all the bases:

You can use mixcraft instead of garageband, but you don't have the magic garageband files like roots rock, blues, rock and the other loops. If it could be a way to download the original loops, found them at youtube, but in very bad quality. Maybe if someone in the forum that use mac could upload the files here. If you have the files from garageband you can use Mixcraft, and Audacity (but if you're using audacity you must have each instrument in separate channels in mp3 or wav so i don't recommend it, but it works.)

There are actually a few decent options available for users who love Garageband but only have access to a PC.
Newbies to sound recording who are on a tight budget can't go past Audacity. It's very basic and doesn't have any loop libraries or special effects, but it's open source, free and pretty decent quality for a freebie.
Acid Music Studio 8 by Sony is another solid contender. It is a more upmarket alternative, though its interface is very "PC". It can be a little frustrating to use because it's nowhere near as intuitive as Garageband, but the functionality is fairly similar once you get a handle on it.
The closest Garageband equivalent for PC though, is definitely Mixcraft 5 by Acoustica (you can download a free trial at Garageband for Windows). It not just does what Garageband does, it LOOKS and feels like Garageband too. Very much an Apple-looking product disguised for PC use. It has a very "Apple" interface, similar ease of use, an impressive stack of built in loops and beats and loads of groovy little features just like Garageband. It's the closest Garageband for PC alternative I've found, by a mile.
