Right now you don't need to get anything else. Start learning the production software you have it will take awhile. When you feel you need something else you will know what you need. But you can definitely learn production and bang out decent tracks with what you have. Just read read read and read some more and make a bunch of crappy tracks that is how everyone else got started.

i like fruity...

Dear god...don't tell me that you think Fruityloops is a bad program. Most people who don't like fruityloops do not understand what it's capable of. Yes... it does take some practice and lots of creativity/exploration, but if you stick it out, you can make a lot of good shit.

Well there seem to be some technical aspects on which fruity doesn't seem to work perfectly

To Topicstarter: But why work with fruity when *you* think it isn't working for you? I see you have Cubase 3 as well so why not just use that.

Just get some drum samples off the net and start working. There is a lot good stuff to be found online.

Yeah if you use Cubase you won't really need anything else ( and take that with a huge grain of salt because you will want more after awhile) But yeah with Cubase you can learn about production in general you know EQing tracks and mixing down and all that technical stuff you need to know before you can translate the sounds in your head onto the studio. But just keep at it it really takes year and years and years I've been doing it since 2003 and I suck terribly. But like I said you have everything you need and then a whole lot extra for a beginner. And yes Fruity is something I don't enjoy using but people who produce much better and I mean MUCH BETTER tracks than I do use Fruity so it can't be all that terrible.

have a go at all production software to start with and see what you find the easiest to navigate around.

Get some samples - look at either the vengeance sound banks or there are loads online.

I would say at first don't focus on making a track but focus on layering up good sounds. Learn more on EQ and compression, sidechaining etc.

Once you feel you've got some good layers together then focus on making a full track

Too many people focus on getting a track finished that isn't going to go anywhere.

Listen to loads of tracks in your chosen genre, how they're layered and build etc, that should help
