Reason everytime, i use that and cubase to run any bits of hardware and use the mixer in cubase and rewire to throw it all together.

I don't know why you'd want to leave orion or fruity etc. out (because they are professional products, just because they don't have a hefty price tag means nothing)... for a software studio you can't beat them. I hate it when people say something like fruity is a toy because these comments are made by people who do not know how to produce. "The software is the problem, not me." If you really must, you can use cubase as your sequencer "because it's professional", but I'm telling you, there's no difference. Why would I use cubase when I can do the same thing 100x faster and easier in fruity, and end up with the same result in the end? If you have to add A LOT of hardware to your setup with some complex midi setup cubase is obviously a better choice, but if you're using software you might as well use a more integrated solution. But whatever... I hope I get flamed for this, just shows your ignorance, not mine.

Anyways, to answer your original question (with fruity, orion, storm, reason, etc. out)...

Sequencer (all include mixers): Cubase, logic, massiva, sonar, ACID, etc.

Drum machine or drum sampler: DR-008 or battery, dr-008 is better according to many ppl... you can even use fruity as a VST for drums, which gets my vote

Synths: too many to list... lots of amazing VST's out there

Samplers: Kontakt, HALion, etc.

Wave editor: Sondforge, wavelab, cooledit

And that's about all you need.

lol i never meant to leave them out form the users, just asking a question. how would a studio be made out of software. excluding software studios. i m curios, didn't mean to diss those programs.
cause usually if i had asked the same question without putting reason,fruity etc on the post. most people would have answer reason.fruity, orion and i allready know that. i was just corius to know more software that does the same kind of stuff as the racks on reason or the other software studios. so chill out man.

I agree with Mike and Senor Congo. Fruity is great and easy to use. I've seen tracks like Out of the Blue and Ayla produced with it. It all depends on the producer b/c if you know what ur doing, then it works great. Pro TOols is just confusing to me IMO. I think is is used mostly used to add vocals?

vamos a la casa de congo
