How would you make niche/speedgarage type songs?

Hello

I was just wondering how do they make them! lol

Do they do something with a turntable - I literally have no clue

Is there any software that would let you do it?

Cheers

Lots of software would let you do it. Sony and Nintendo both have software packages that could manage it!

How about reading up on Ableton Live / Reason etc that people have mention and just playing about.

That's how it starts.

Start off with something simple to mess around with, like Rebirth by Propellerhead (I don't think it's sold anymore, but you'll probably find demo versions of it through google). Then move on to Fruity Loops, and start learning about arrangement, builds and breakdowns. After that, try Sonic Foundary's Acid, which will get you used to using samples and stretching etc.

If you're still keen after those, Cakewalk's Sonar and Steinberg's Cubase is next, but be warned. These are no toys, this is what the professionals use.
