    Hate to break it to you, if you want to make your own songs you would prob. need like a recording studio or something along that.

    I'm positive that there's some suite available for download... what type of song recording are you intending on doing? If you're recording your own music from physical instruments, Audacity is a good open-source editor. However, if you're intending on using software instruments, you probably will have to pay some money.

    Too bad the AR code for 999,999 Poké doesn't exist in real life :P

    Try looking into one of these music orientated Linux(which is completely free) distributions;

    Musix: https://www.musix.org.ar/en/index.html

    64Studio: https://www.64studio.com/

    dyne:bolic: https://www.dynebolic.org/
    will these work on windows?

    Linux is an Operating System, so if you're not careful it can actually say GTFO to your Windows :P.

    To make your own songs in reality, all you really need is a recording system. Audacity is one of the best (*~!~*FREE*~!~* *shot*) audio editors and recorders. So if you got all that recording stuff up and have Audacity ready to record you pretty much got it.

    You can also take the pathway of MIDI music. It's like digital music. There is plenty of software that makes MIDI music and I believe the best ones are Guitar Tab orientated softwares such as Guitar Pro (*~!~*NOT FREE*~!~* *headshot*)

    It would, but it would be more of a lo-fi style. Some people love the lo-fi style of music, so if you don't mind then you could. But if you want better recording style invest into a mic for your computer.

    thanks ^^ how much would a good one cost rougly? could you recomend a good make?

    Thanks alot for the help guys. I really apreciate it ^^

    If you don't mind running Linux, you might want to look into the programs Ardour, Rosegarden, and LMMS. LMMS is great for a quick splash into music making on Linux (It has some cool Game Boy style synths too :D).

    If you want a budget make(Roughly 100+, or lower dollars), then this is a good model. Although, I'm unsure whether or not you can buy them in stores. (Note: this is a model my friend uses, so I asked him)

    Just one thing to keep in mind here. Any real mic that you look into getting will have an XLR connector which your computer has no way of accepting. You can pick up something like this adapter but now you're adding a bit to your total price. The only other way to do this, however, is to get a professional audio card or get a cheaper, USB-based mic.
