• by Peter Webber

You know we exist in exciting times when anyone with a spot of talent can create, produce and broadcast their own music and make it big without having to win a record contract. By merely downloading and studying some package and samples you can go from bedroom DJ to hearing your own tracks being played in nightclubs and getting people coming up to you asking "Hey is this your track?!"

Hence the question is how and where do you start?

There are so many options ranging from free to very costly, obviously free is good but what's the downside? That pricy big name piece of software seems very good but do you know what most of those particular characteristics are and more significantly do you need them?

One thing you can count on is that whether you spend nothing or $500 you will be putting some time and exertion into learning music mixer software so how much is your time and effort worth?

There are pros and cons of free and pricy software packages. You need to establish your priorities and particular necessities before investing any of your time regardless of money. Ask yourself the following questions:

How user-friendly is it to learn, does it include samples you can use?

Are they royalty free so you can produce tunes that you can sell for money?

Are you inclined to read a 400 page ebook manual before getting started?

Before investing any of your time and exertion you need your own personalised rating system. That is a system of rules that lines up your demands and priorities with what the various options have to offer.

A good method to achieve this is to draw a table of features and put each option in. That way you can line them up and score each feature out of 10.

Then you can make an educated decision around which selection is best for you and will get your music out there being downloaded by your fans and perhaps even making you some nice cash as well. It all starts with making the best decision at the onset. And that starts with a proper system to properly measure your options.
