And damn me for asking HAN some advice on such a venture. I'm sure 99% of you responding haven't even dealt with the program nor the issues at hand...
So, uh, eat a dick?

I've worked with Acid Pro, Audition, FruityLoops, etc ... I've even made shit off an old school Akai board.
I never said you couldn't, I'm saying you need to understand the proper counts, the proper buildup of tracks, how to decompose for the break, etc. If you know the basics, then go and find your samples and loops.
Working with these programs is cake ... you start with a basic screen that maps out a 1 count wave.
Imagine the " | " as being the bass
|...|...|...|...|
Imagine the " x " as being the high hats
|.x.|.x.|.x.|.x.|
now you have your "oonsa oonsa oonsa oonsa"
From there you create even more layers to dress up the original beat track
(line1) |.x.|.x.|.x.|.x.|
(line2) |~~~~~~~~| (some sort of vocal? some sort of synth?)
:thinking:
If you know a girl with a good voice, first thing to start with would be the track. Make sure to leave it flexible enough to remove elements while maintaining the the core of the track. It's important not to over power the vocals with a complex composition.
Does the girl have any recording hardware? Do a little research on how to capture voice on a budget. The slightest change in a room's environment will alter the sound. (carpet vs tile, closed doors vs open, drywall vs covered walls)
