Need some help guys...

I have a dilemma here...

In development on my game, I must ask, while I have some very decent free pieces of music to work with, should I try to write my own music as well? I've extended my engine for .ogg as well as while I was at it letting me use hand-drawn .png art as enemies-so it's very quickly becoming personalized.

The art is moving apace, but the music gets me-I'm a musician from way back, but I've composed very little. I want a game that sticks in the mind, and I feel custom is the way to go, but I am afraid of what that will take...

I'm not quite sure what you're asking here. Are you looking for music help? Software advice for writing your music?

[Kayin]

Just wonder if I'm taking on too much being a one-man production.

Also, what software WOULD I use...

FL Studio (fruityloops (http://flstudio.image-line.com/documents/download.html)) is good for getting your ideas down. Do you have a keyboard?

Can lay hands on one...

KB was never a requirement when I was in theory, so it's not a major issue to me. FL I was using in college, man that was a long time ago...
