Looking for a program

[Rivfader]

I need a music program for making better metal sounds rather than techno. What do you recommend? I want to try mixing folk metal with the remix melodies. The program should have good opportunities for both good power drums and electric guitars.

Thanks in advance if anyone knows about a program I should check out.

No, you need a guitar with a distortion.

What do you recommend?

To do what Nineko suggested.

Also, to get rid of the following ideas:

- programs aren't "meant" for a single genre

- they're not programs, they're sequencers and plugins and sample libraries.

I want to try mixing folk metal with the remix melodies.

The program should have good opportunities for both good power drums and electric guitars.

Those don't come out of a program, those come out of stuff like this:

http://www.beladmedia.com/lyrical2.htm (for the guitar)

http://www.toontrack.com/superior.shtml (for the drums)

http://www.sampletank.com/ (for the typical choir, church organ, piano, etc. sounds)

That's a sampled drum kit and a sampled guitar, and an all-purpose library. Those are things called sample libraries. You load 'm up in a plugin such as Kontakt. You then use a sequencer with a VST host (just pick what's in your budget and what you like working with) and play them via that.

Before checking out anything, hang around for a while and educate yourself on a few matters. I don't mean this in a condescending way but chances are that if you label everything as "program" checking out is not going to get you far and you'll return with more questions than you came with .
