Software for creating sound effects/ music tracks

[Dr_O]

Hi All

Keen to hear about anyone's experience or knowledge of software that can be used to create sound- or if it even exists. I've used Adobe Audition in the past although not sure they even make it now and although that was great for editing music/ video soundtracks I'm looking for something that will allow me to create the sounds myself.

I know you get royalty free music and there also also sound effects you can get but I'd like the freedom to create something myself. What does everyone else do? Do you just use what's out there or take a sample and build over it or create from scratch? And if so what do you use? Some sound effects I guess I just create and then record them electronically. For music tracks over the top of video am I straying more into the realms of DJ type stuff- not that I mind that I suppose but I'm not wanting to mix records and all that carry on- happy to play around electronically

I could be completely off on a tangent but hopefully I've not found a unique problem

Hi

I use Logic on my mac for creating and editing music. it has loads of samples, loops and instruments built in with some amazing synthesizer plugins.

Not sure about sound effects though I'm afraid and Logic is mac only so that may be a limiting factor...

Thanks- yeah Mac only is limiting for me and looks like no PC plans at the moment (or no public ones) but it has given me a new acronym to search on- DAW- Digital Audio Workflow which has given me an article on 16 of the best so potential closer to what I'm after

ta- I'd only looked in their product listing from their menu bar and could not see it listed hence thinking they may have ditched it
