Hi Parsis! Good to hear from you. I am not that familiar with Ableton Live but since you already have it and like it, well, might as well use it. Have fun! Hey, even Mozart had to start somewhere, right?

Hi! Parsis!Here’s your chance to grab a free copy of Forte Basic Notation software, available until September 14. Go to http://www.fortenotation.com/en/lp/giveaway/

For your information (FYI): you may see some music programs referred to as DAW's. This stands for Digital Audio Workstation.

Hi Parsis! Well, Ableton Live and FL Studio are both Digital Audio Workstations -- meaning,they will take in music and alter its sound before outputting. However, Ableton Live will allow you to also compose music. Unfortunately, Ableton Live is a little expensive and difficult to learn - as is FL Studio. I did some checking (google) and found a nice free download that I think will be just right for you: http://www.fortenotation.com/en/ You can also purchase Forte notation at Amazon for $34.00 if you decide to keep it. Of course, you'll have to learn to read and write music (from http://www.wikihow.com/Read-Music) but, you can input examples from wikihow.com into Forte notation to hear what they sound like. I think,in time, It will all come together and you'll be off composing like Mozart! Keep me posted on your progress.

Hi Parsis!
I downloaded FL Studio to study it. Well, I can see it has a steep learning curve. I'm thinking you might spend more time learning it than actually composing your music. I would not recommend it for you. Let me ask you this Parsis, do you want to compose your own music or, do you just want to combine some tracks that are already installed in the program? Each method would have different music programs to accomplish your goals. Once you let me know what you plan to do musically, I might be able to recommend a program for you.

Hi Parsis!
Learning to read and write music is just like learning a new language: It takes a lot of time and dedication. But, the rewards will be worth it!
I found a website that I think will show you the basics of reading music (and, if you can read, then, you can write!). Check it out here: http://www.wikihow.com/Read-Music It would help if you have access to a guitar or keyboard. There's a lot of information on this website so,take your time learning all you can. Feel free to email me---I'll be here to answer any questions you may have. Good Luck!

Hi Parsis! I'm not sure what you mean by " I want to learn making music".
I've been using a program called "NOTION 3" for about 4 or 5 years now and am very pleased with it. I do know how to read and write music so what I do with this program is write the music for each instrument I choose(there's a full orchestra to choose from!)then, the computer plays it back with the sounds of the instruments I chose. I know there are other programs out there that you just combine different tracks already configured and the program plays those back to you. You should be able to find what you're looking for by doing a google search. Hope this helps you out.
