How to... Record your tracks
Recording: Buy music software
04 eJay
eJay is all about getting a feel for the basics of arranging and producing.

How to... Buy music software
You move big, brightly coloured blocks of sound around on the screen and your tune makes itself in front of your eyes.

It comes with a selection of demo tunes to experiment with, so you can get creative straight away.

eJay comes in a few packages, depending on what kind of music you want to make. That's because it comes with a CD full of samples you can use to make your first tunes.

Choose the hip-hop version and you'll get a selection of breaks, scratches and bass loops.

Every version has facilities to write your own drum parts, lead melodies and basslines.

eJay is also reasonably cheap - less than £30 - so it's not too much of a risk to buy it as a starter kit and then move on to something more serious later on.

Uniquely, e-Jay is available for Playstation as well as stand-alone computers.
