@Smurf:
Depends on your style of audio editing, but there's a few free programs you could give a try.
Audacity is a rather well known free audio editor, great for cleaning up your recordings and lots of other things.
MuseScore is nice if you want to compose some MIDI music and you're familiar with traditional music notation and how to get the best out of it.
Anvil Studio can also be used to compose MIDI's and has an alternate "piano roll" interface if you're not so keen on traditional notation. It also can work with samples and other audio files, but you need to pay for upgrades to really do anything with them. The free version is still useful however.
Or if you're familiar with the old Tracker style of composing, you might want to check out OpenMPT, and search around for some free instruments to download for it. Renoise has a free version as well.
Of course there are plenty of other free programs, and if you're prepared to spend some cash there's myriad other options. Two that have been mentioned on this thread already are Fruity Loop Studio and Sibelius, never used them myself but they have plenty of supporters.
Many of these programs have some great Youtube tutorials to get you started too.
Hope this helps! And remember, only download anything from a source you can trust, never blindly trust advice on this forum that something is safe to download, even from me

I feel like people that actually put in a bunch of time and effort in writing something are gonna be overlooked by somebody who throws together a simple electronic-type song.
Absolutely not. Talent will shine through whether it's electronic or acoustic. I'd love to hear a fingerstyle acoustic version. I'm actually working on a vocal version of the theme (with lyrics) accompanied by ukulele, mandolin and acoustic guitar. It's really different and fun to play around with. I say go with what you like doing most

That will definitely be sweet though! I'd like to hear what you have finished.

I guess you got a point. I just couldn't shake the feeling of somebody throwing together this little up-beat electronic song that takes really nothing and winning, while there would be others that put everything they could into making something special. But I think I'll arrange a fingerstyle version. Should be interesting. It'll be tough trying to figure out the rhythm. It's for the party room, correct? So it'll probably have to be a faster paced song.
It doesn't have to be fast paced. The party room is an example of where it could go, but if it's a gentle or emotional piece then we'll find somewhere else for it

Oh, okay. I must have misunderstood. I assumed it was going to be just for the party room from reading what everyone else was saying. That's perfect then. Thanks.
