How to make music/sound, easily?

[unranked86]

Hello guys.

I know, that this question has nothing to do with SFML at all, so sorry about that.
I need a software for creating music. So far, I'm playing around with Rosegarden with the Musica Theora soundfont, which is nice and all, and if I click here and there, and press some buttons on my keyboard, I can generate some noise. In other words, it is not what I'm looking for. What I want is something really simple, and easy to use stuff, because I have no idea how to compose music.
This software should be really, really cheap, preferably for free (no trial, and shareware, and of course no illegal stuff), and I should be able to create some basic music in a matter of minutes, without any musical knowledge.

Also looking for something to create sound effects. Like explosions, shooting and so on.

Any suggestions ?

Code: [Select]

#include <math.h> /*** ---- viznut --- http://www.hytti.uku.fi/~vheikkil/ */
main(v,i,z,n,u,t){for(v=-1;;)for(n=pow(/* gcc -lm sig.c; a.out > /dev/dsp */
1.06,"`cW`g[`cgcg[eYcb^bV^eW^be^bVecb^"[++v&31]+(v&64)/21),i=999;i;putchar(
128+((8191&u)>i?0:i/8)-((8191&(z+=n))*i-->>16)))u+=v&1?t/2:(t=v&6?t:n/4);}

It works. Plays a cool tune on any Unix machine with /dev/dsp. Honest.

Are you serious? At least gave me a good laughter.

So you're basically ask for an application that has a button and when you click it, it generates all the wonderfull sound and music that you can use in your game and of course it should be for free?

Do you think programming is a hard job? Yes? Then why do you think creating music or sound is something that one should be able to do just by clicking some buttons? The music 'industry' is way bigger than the game industry and way more people make their living with it...

To kind of answer your question, you can search for 'sample library' to maybe get some usefull samples for sounds. If you want music, I guess you could browse diffrent music website like soundcloud.com and maybe some of the artist will let you use their music for free.

There are sound generators, this one is pretty nice: http://www.bfxr.net/

There are some music generators too: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2012/04/16/some-useful-music-generators/
Although personally I would prefer looking for free music.
