As I really did not like Reason

there is a forum specifically for production...go ask this there....

seems like you're a bit confused there..

Fruityloops is an sequencing/arranging program like Reason, while Absynth is just an instrument, that can be used as a VST.

Fruity is simpler than Reason, and has support for VST's like Absynth, unlike Reason. However, people say that Fruity doesn't have the sound quality Reason has.

You can't make a trance tune only with Absynth cause it's just an instrument, it doesn't sequence anything.

You can make a tune with Fruity and Absynth, but it'd be hard to make a decent track with this setup. However, making a track is VERY complex, and you can learn gradually from using this setup.

I hope I didn't say anything wrong there
