what program do you or other people use to create sound effects and music for your/their games? i'm new so i'm not sure where to begin. any name of a commonly used program would be useful.
On my PC I use: Reason Cubase Various harware and VST synths. Samples On iOS I use: NanoStudio Beatmaker2 (occasionally) iShred iVoxel MIDI Synth Filtatron
I have been using FL Studio for years on my PC / Parallels. Great for making short loops of music and editing sound fx or recording your own plus you can download more VST's for more effects or instruments. http://flstudio.image-line.com/
Don't forget the software you already have like Garage Band...it can do some nice things as well. Also I use Audacity if I need to modify and existing sound's properties and such
I was creating all my audio in GarageBand, then editing it in Audacity. I have since added iPad app studio.HD to my tools for creating the music.
On windows I use http://www.windowsgames.co.uk/effects.html to generate bleeps and whoops, on the Mac I use Audacity for editing sounds and Garage Band for music. Hope that helps.
