Pretty misleading title there...  

 

Anyways, what do you mean? Do you need someone to make a song for you or help you make one? I don't really get it.

I do believe you will need a music program.

I don't know any,but i also want to make MLP music or

attempt to.Google music making programs or google how to make music.

Find out what some of the best brony musicians use.

Hope this helped.

 

My favorite Brony musicians typically use FL Studio, although that'll require some bits.

 

I've also heard Abelton Live is very good.

 

Although, both of those will cost money. I don't really know which free DAW is the best. Best to find out yourself.

Well, i guess you could say i do need help writing a pecie of music. I mean i can write music, but how would you make it MLP music?

Aah composition. I spend months composing music, slowly refining it and replacing bits and pieces until it's just the way I like it. I compose using something called a pencil and paper. Sometimes I use a program called guitar pro 6. As for writing lyrics, I occasionally get random outbursts of creativity and if I don't get stuff on paper quickly, I end up losing my ideas. Recording is a completely different story...

Think about what you want it to relate to. Per example: A song about Octavia would usually be slow and relaxed whilst a Pinkie Pie song would be full of energy.

 

The song can be any genre you want it to be. Heck, most Brony songs I make are just plain, normal songs until I slap MLP on it.

 

Hope that helped.

Oh, did i say that i write orchestral music? But, i do want to learn how to write guitar music. Oh, and feel free to e-mail me, its in my profile.

I use FL Studio for my music. What is it that you are looking for? Ill help compose it if you like.

Personally I just sit in front of my computer with a guitar in-hoof and transpose any riffs I write into Guitar Pro 5 (a fairly decent midi sequencer, especially for guitarists). The benefit of having your stuff in midi format is that it makes the arrangement process quite a bit quicker, as you can copypasta sections wherever you please. That, and...well, midi sequencing is just about mandatory if you plan on writing anything more intricate than simple guitar ditties, such as orchestral pieces. GP is okay in that regard, though Sibellius would probably be a better investment for that kind of music.

Easiest way would be to set pony-themed lyrics to it, but if your music won’t have vocals, then it’s a bit trickier…which begs the question, what genre would you  be going for, anyway?
