Asking for a friend who has a birthday coming up. She had a rough year in 2023 and I really want to surprise her with something to record with, but I don't know really anything about recording any kind of audio. She's got an electronic keyboard and a bluetooth speaker & microphone but thats it. She also really likes to freestyle!

    Depending how cool she is, potentially a video game console (ideally would already have) and one of those either licensed or homebrew tracker softwares/games for it: i.e. Mario Paint, Korg DS-1, LSDJ, etc.

      LSDJ on a gameboy is super fun and pretty easy to get into. I use FL Studio 10/11/12 on a PC and was composing mostly in general MIDI and video game soundchip-emulating VSTs for years.

      there was a great tracker app on the R4 chip for the Nintendo DS - honestly it probably did more for my interest in electronic music production than any PC app.
