Im looking for a music making software (hip hop preferred) thats not expensive and is compatible with a laptop.Some of the softwares (reason & fruity loops) are expensive and they need too much space so hence cant be used on a laptop.This software must have record facility as well.Cheers!!
ALL music making software is compatible with laptops.
For Mac you can use GarageBand which is the best in its class.
For Windows you can use Audacity or Goldwave – both FREE.
