Fruity Loops, Reason, Cubase...

[theledge]

Fruityloops is great

It was written by a lifelong games programmer rather than a musician, and it feels like it

Wonderful to use, quick and powerful, intuitive interface, totally controllable via keyboard and midi, stable..... etc etc

If you want to use time varying compound time sigs or whatever, then fruity isn't going to do the job, and I'm not really a fan of either the sampler or built in synths, but hook it up with Kontakt and a couple of decent VST synths, and you really shouldn't need much more

The only sad thing is that it's never, ever likely to be released for a Mac, and it's the one good reason I can think of to keep on using a Windows machine.
