However, there are some reasons you may not be able to get the software and gear needed to make music on your own, the most common being a lack of budget.
So if all you have is a smartphone or basic computer, you can still make music thanks to online music-making tools. This, fortunately, levels the playing field, allowing anyone with a basic computer and an internet connection to make great music.
