   I wanna learn to make music
  Could someone please help me out here.  I want to learn how to mkae music and sound effects for my games.  I have no experiance with this, would really appreciate some help. 
  I know the different types are WAV MIDI SGT and more but I have no idea how to begin trying to make them. ;  Well, my first question to you would be: what music experience do you have? If you have very limited experience, then programs such as Pro DJ, or any of the eJay series, would be great for you - you can drag and drop samples, play with volume and other effects, and then create a wav file of it at the end. All of these prgrams are very cheap (I think Pro DJ is about £5 (US$8).The main downside to this is that you''ll only ever make dance music from these programs.As for sound effects, that''s a bit different. All you need is a sample editor (windoze tends to come with a simple editor anyway, but you should be able to get a free/cheap one on the web) and some ideas. It''s usually a hell of a lot easier to edit someone else''s sounds, so be on the lookout for ROYALTY-FREE sounds. With no royalty attached to it, you can use them freely in your games. As a start, you can visit http://www.mtlc.net/freesamples/freesamples.php - they give away a free sample every day.There are loads of people on boards who can help you with any specific problems. Though I can''t stress enough that music composing and sound design are two separate jobs (usually...  )and come with their own set of skills to learn.Feel free to email me if you want a chat about any of this.
