The rest can be obtained from either 'demos' or as updates.
Just use a key generator to register the product and you have a fully functional music creation program.
Personally I use Acid Pro because it's the easiest to figure out how to use.
FL Studio is basically all eye candy, but it does have some cool features, that is if you can figure out how to use them.
(I couldn't figure out how to get the darn thing to even play :P
)Cubase is another difficult one to figure out.
Logic I am unsure about as I have never used it. But apparently it is one of the best.
Native Instruments makes some nice programs such as Traktor, Reaktor, and Kompact, but I think you still need a 'main program' in order to fully use those tools.
Oh I almost forgot, Guitar Pro can be useful at times. I find that the visual music note editor is convenient especially when trying to get those drum and bass beats to midi.
Of course there are countless others such as Garage Band and Finale, but I'm trying to save you some time by naming the best. At least from my experience.
Here's the link to http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/download/step2.asp?DID=662.
Now just Google a key generator. (I'd get in trouble if I showed you where to find one.)

Oh, and I forgot to ask - do any of these work on Linux? It's OK if they don't but I'd really prefer to work on my Linux computer.

MTV music is very easy to use, but if you messed a lot with FL studio you may say it sucks. I don't think it does that much though because I managed to make all the songs here http://omnimaga.unitedti.org/music/ with it, and on top of that I used the playstation version which didn't let me import my own samples since i used an emu

There's some pretty complicated music going on there.
Dark side of the moon is Awesome! :king:
http://www.2shared.com/file/2292686/73917670/beatz.html that I've been working on lately. It starts after about 5 seconds, so just be patient.
I'm using Acid Pro and Sytrus (a vsti plugin)
Just letting you know I'm still working on it, so that's why it will stop so abruptly :P

when finished let me know so I can add it to archives with the other onesEDIT: Also make the hi hats louder :)
as well as the blipping/acid effect

I can provide a link to one if you like. (i just don't want to get in trouble)
Fl Studio can be downloaded using Ares. (that's how I got it.)
If you register the product correctly using a Keygen, you will have the real thing.
Just to clarify, none of these products are meant to be free, but with a Keygen they can be free. ;)

Not in public like on a forum or IRC channel. We can't do anything if you do it privately though

Best tracker-based music composition software I've ever used.
It is really easy once you get used to it and you can write a whole song in just about 30 minutes.
You can also use WAVE and SoundFont II-format instrument sets which you can find at places like HammerSound and there's some fairly large instrument sets at http://www.personalcopy.com/sfarkfonts1.htm .
It can read almost all tracker-based music formats and MIDI and export as all those and also Wave and MP3 formats.
Unfortunately it does not work on Linux yet, but on Linux there are two tracker-based music composition softwares by the names of SchismTracker and CheeseTracker, and are usually in the package repository (or are in a third-party multimedia repo).

Cool! I've never used tracker-based music before. Exporting to MP3 is definitely a nice feature to have. It seems like most programs would do that, but you'd be surprised the number that don't (Guitar Pro for example)
I'll have to check this out. Sounds like it could speed up the process of creating drumbeats.

EDIT: nvm he didn't. Actually FL studio, Cubase and resaon are the most used by Hardcore Producers forum users

I've named the song Omnimaga since this is where I got the inspiration from.
It uses 9 tracks in all, 3 of them being midi tracks that I composed.
All of the synthesizers were done by Sytrus.
http://www.2shared.com/file/2299697/ca8cf0a6/omnimaga.html
It's sort of large (13MB!) so it may take awhile to open.

I'll add it to the archives now after saving it to my PC :)
I would have two suggestions if you plan to make a new version though:
-I think the kick drum should be made a bit louder
-You should add some bass in the song during the parts where there's beat, it would make the song even more better and dancy :)
Example attached below:EDIT: btw make sure to backup your song though even if I add it to Omnimaga, because everything I add on Omnimaga is converted to 128 kbps, due to disk space concerns (around only 150 MB left :X
)
