Fruityloops? Magix Music Maker? Mixcraft? EDIT: Oops they're not free, but you can't really find good free ones nowadays.
dang guess it's time to go on bittorrent o well gotta ask my friend to do some illegal stuff for me XD
'best' is a subjective term and really depends on exactly what you are doing. I use Adobe Audition for most stuff.
i use magix music maker. i've used nearly ever programme and it seems to be the easyest to use but depends on how good you are at it already as reason is probably the best music programme ever but it is complicated
Someone just submitted a comment to this PSX game. PSX ISO: MTV Music Generator - USA Sounds like it's a solid program.
Ha ha, my little brother used to make songs with Music Generator for PS1 years back. We recorded it on tape and thought it was soo cool.
