A lot of producers who have been around for years seem to be scared of fruity. But to me it is one of the best pieces of software available! Its ease of use is the main thing. All i can say is, mess about with it and u will quickly learn how to use it! If you have any specific questions to ask about it, im sure I will be able to answer them. But saying have u got a few pointers is a little vague to give an answer to.
