Audacity.

Hello to all, I hope you are fine today! So, I ask you if some people, here, use Audacity to make some music ? If there are amateurs of trip hop? I would want to make it, but I would like that a person explains me it works of audacity and samples etc. I don't think that a person can give me the specific help which I need but I ask, this isn't the ideal place, I know. You never know!

Audacity is good for a lot of different reasons and for different uses, however, music production is NOT one of them. Audacity is good for recording podcasts, converting vinyl music to digital (when combined with a USB turntable), recording voiceovers (i.e. for videos or gaming), or other similar tasks. But as far as making and producing music from scratch or from samples, there's a lot of much better free alternatives (or, if you're willing, cheap limited versions of premium paid software). As someone who's been involved in music for more than 20 years and involved in production for half that, here's my recommendations (all have Windows and Mac versions): PreSonus Studio One Free Pros: Easy for Beginners to Learn On Super Stable and Reliable Simply a limited version of a top-end DAW Unlimited Number of Tracks Despite being limited (it's technically a demo), it can still churn out polished recordings Cons: Cannot export MP3 Files Cannot use third-party synthesizers or FX (it only comes with one instrument and 8 FX, which is very limiting) Cockos REAPER: Pros: Free version is actually full version of software (albeit, for 60 days) Paid version is only $60 if you like it It's quickly becoming a favorite among producers (the entire Hotline Miami soundtrack was done on Reaper) It's VERY open-ended and supports third party instruments alongside its own built-in instruments The code is fully modifiable to set it up however you want The program is highly customizable Cons: This program has a SUPER STEEP learning curve. Prepare you scour the interwebz for tutorials Free full-feature usage is limited to 60-days, after which you'll have to purchase Zynewave Podium Free: Pros: Lots of features in free version, with very few limitations in place High level of customization (not on part with Reaper, but pretty darn close) Won't Be In-your-face about buying the full version Stable and Reliable so long as you don't push it too hard (see cons) Constantly stays updated with patches and bugfixes Cons: Somewhat steep learning curve Doesn't have multi-core processor support (slows down when put under pressure) No surround sound playback for free version Non-standard DAW MuLab Free: Pros: Simple and fairly Intuitive yet still very powerful Has its own native built-in FX and Synths Cons: Limited only to four tracks per composition Limited to only 8 instruments per composition No MIDI support for free version Makes a sound when you go outside the free version's limitations, reminding you to buy the software Soundtrap: Pros: It's 100% Browser Based (No installs) It's easy to use Free for personal use Good built-in instruments Collaboration capability with other people around the world Cons: Too simple sometimes (no deep editing features found in other DAWs) Requires an Internet connection Limited to only 5 projects for free version (paid version however is a cheap monthly subscription) LMMS: Pros: 100% Free Full MIDI-style DAW with a layout similar to FL Studio (one of my favorite and one of the most well-known DAWs) Loads of MIDI-controlled instruments (synths and drums) Compatibility with third-party instruments Nintendo, Gameboy, and other video game sound effect emulation Large community in forums to help you get started Cons: Not the most stable program No recording capabilities (at all, it's all MIDI based) Support can be difficult to reach sometimes So those are my recommendations over Audacity for music production. I suggest you check all of them out, play around with them, then move from there.

I should probably preface that I don't really use any of the free ones. The DAWs I tend to use are Pro Tools, Logic, Reason, and Ableton. :p

It's already been said but yeah. Audacity is good for podcasts and basic audio recording. Not for making music. My DAW of choice is Ableton but it's kind of hell to learn.

Any of the good DAW's that are expensive (I use Reaper, FL Studio, Maschine, and Ableton kinda) have a steep learning curve to them. But, then again, they're also very expensive. Some of the free ones are fun though. I know Linux has a lot of good ones, but I don't remember any of them.
