I have just begun to explore the art of production after DJing for 5 years and being a musician since I was 10. My tool of choice so far is Reason. I downloaded a basic tutorial and have actually created some tracks since I started. Now, I have only begun to scratch the surface of the art of production but I have come up with some decent results considering how little I know.

Reason has worked well for me as a complete beginner. All I have is my ears...
