There are many production software available.

I will analyze and compare the most popular music production software for reference.

1. Cakewalk

When it comes to music production software, cakewalk cannot be ignored. Before 2002, it can be said that

cakewalk became computer music Synonymous with production software. If you don't know this software, then you

don't talk about computer music. The original version of cakewalk only supported midi editing. Later, the audio processing function was added, and the name became sonar, which is commonly known as sonar in China. The current highest version is

sonar 4.0.

Advantages: Includes almost all the computer music production functions that musicians need. If you are a professional musician who understands both English and musical notation, it can be said that sonar has almost become your inevitable choice.

Disadvantages: Only the staff version, not the simplified notation version. Only suitable for professionals who spend all day in the studio.

In addition, because there is currently only an English version (there is also a domestic Chinese version, however, the Chinese version is incomplete and prone to errors

), so you have to choose this software. Before, you have to weigh yourself. In addition, you cannot use sonar to produce a complete song without a midi input device such as a

midi keyboard.

2. Cubase sx

Cubase sx can be said to have pioneered midi and audio mixing production. It is because of the emergence of Cubase sx that

It shakes cakewalk’s absolute leadership in the field of music production. Because of the emergence of Cubase, cakewalk is like a lazy rabbit. It catches up and launches sonar, which also has audio functions. This is a tortoise in the field of music production software

The outcome of the rabbit race is still unknown.

When it comes to the advantages and disadvantages of Cubase sx, you can completely refer to cakewalk sonar.

3. Fruit loops

It is what we commonly call fruit, loop, which means loop. Add an s to form loops. I understand it to mean continuous repetition.

Repeat what? Repeat the rhythm, repeat the melody. If you are a DJ, then I tell you, you must learn fruit loops.

Otherwise, you should be unemployed.

Advantages: Very suitable for DJs, especially suitable for making drum rhythms

Disadvantages: If it is used by DJs, it can be said that there are no disadvantages.

4. Composer Master

This is a domestic composition software and one of the only domestic music production software. Composer Master is a midi production software< /p>

Without audio processing function. Moreover, there are simplified notation and staff versions. The simplified notation feature of the simplified notation version is a preferable part of the software. If you use

five-line notation and compare it with cakewalk, which is also a five-line notation, it can be said that it is not on the same level. Therefore, what I am talking about here is mainly about composition

The master’s simplified notation version. Moreover, I also hope that the composer master will make the simplified notation version first and make it more refined.

Advantages: It supports comprehensive musical notation symbols and the operation is relatively simple.

Disadvantages: For music amateurs, it is more difficult to make music. For music experts, it cannot be compared with cube and sonar. Feeling

It's a bit too high and too low.

5. Genius Musician

Genius Musician is a software that I only discovered last week. The software is not publicized enough, and it feels a bit like being raised in a boudoir and unknown to people. I can describe it as joyful when I discovered

this software. It's not that the software is very professional, but there are several shining points of this software. Let me discover genius

The unique market positioning of musician software. I have a distinct feeling that Genius Musician was made for amateur music lovers and was definitely not developed for professional musicians

. The biggest characteristic of amateur music lovers is that their musical professional level is not high. In the process of making computer music, orchestration can be said to be very important. Simply knowing a few do re mi cannot solve the problem. The unique automatic orchestration function of talented musicians solves this problem very well for amateur music lovers

You just click the mouse, enter the main melody of the music, and it will add chords and percussion instruments to your song. Although in the eyes of

professional musicians, these can be said to be dismissive. However, for the majority of amateur players, it is undoubtedly the biggest highlight. I just downloaded this software

and was struck by its rough interface. There is almost no urge to continue using it.

However, after I continued to use it patiently for 5 minutes, I felt that this was a super fun musical toy.

Advantages: Simple simple notation, automatic orchestration, automatic accompaniment, super fool

Disadvantages: The interface can be said to be too rough.
