Lots of good producers here use Reason. Only problem with it is the lack of plugin (VST, DX, etc.) support, which Fruityloops does have.
For most musicians, Reason seems to be the most natural choice. For some of the more tech-savvy musicians, Cubase is also easy to get the hang of. Fruityloops is better optimized for DJs and other non-musicians. and it's also dirt-cheap, therefore it has a much wider audience and is more popular.
Insert standard disclaimer here about FL being perfectly capable of making tracks that are just as good as what comes out of Cubase or Logic or any other sequencer and yadda yadda yadda - the point is that the appeal of Fruityloops for many is its workflow, and if you don't find that workflow natural, you'll hate it. |

Fruity loops is without a doubt the easiest piece of production software I've ever used.
Reason seemed to take ages to get anything out of it because the sequencer was and is just terribly over complicated.
Personally I'd recommend Fruity Loops 7 with Reason 3 rewired.
The best advice you can take from all this is that 10 mins even a full month on these programs is not going to make you sound like the dogs bollocks. You need to read, take tutorials and put some effort into it. |

You buy v7 and you will get v8, v9, v10, v11 etc lifetime. About the Producer XXL edition: it's the same thing as the Producer edition with more instruments thrown-in, if you're interested in those particular instruments, go for it. But if you're not and plan to use mainly other plugins then go for the Producer edition, it will give you the exact same functionality and cost you less than half the price of the XXL package. |

I'm also looking for a program to make my own songs on. I worked on ableton and I just starting to learn it. I made one song that I like. It came out all right but its no great piece of work but its cool to me. I just take the samples that are given and mess around with those and put them in sequence. I have a keyboard, but Im no where near to working that into my music yet.
Is fruity loops a good buy for a novice? I've been just a dj for along time and I want to start to make my own stuff.
Fruity a go? or should I stick with learning ableton?
Thanks, SC |

Especially if your main focus is a DJ/live environment!
Thus it's called Ableton LIVE!!! |

So stick with it for production or move to fruity? |

Move to fruity, it's much more flexible. |

Try both and choose whichever you like best, sir. |

Quoted for truth :) And don't be afraid of using some time on trying because you need to give the program a bit of time.
I've used Fruity for a long time now and I like using it so I haven't spent very much time with any other programs. |
