FL5-FL8 / some Ableton Live occasionally.
FUCK THAT, nothing wrong with FL if your used to it and you know how to use it, Skream and Hatcha have both said they use it still, as well as many others. Hmmmmmmm.
It may have some limits but if u use it well, haters can eat one.

Sorry Ben in deepest Dorset - I can't help you there. I have Logic on my Mac, but that comes at a price ... you get what you pay for.
I can only suggest you read the blurb on the Apple site for each product and try a few out. Sure, there are 300 apps listed and it's hard to know where to start. But you may find that one of them does just what you need, if you can find it.
Free software has it's drawbacks. Limited in features, support may be difficult, and can be buggy.
Depending on what you want to do, Audacity is well established so give that a try. Garageband may be pre-installed on your Mac too, but I can't recommend it, really.
Unless you are 7.

FSTZ wrote:most people make fun of FL because FL stands for "Fruity Loops" (I had to laugh while typing that)
but the bottom line is that it's made by cakewalk and anyone that has been using computers to make music for more than 10 years know that cakewalk has always been on the top of their game
just wish sonar and project 5 had some legs
in the end...
the result is a finished tune
your ears and soundcard play a larger role in the quality of your mixdown than your sequencer
FL is not made by cakewalk. Cakewalk distributed it for a bit but to my knowledge they had nothing to do with development of it.
I think it's sad that people feel the need to justify their tool of choice. Many of my favorite tunes have been made with FL. i think a talented producer could crank out a tight tune with almost any of the modern apps.
Personally, I am using Sonar 7 PE (will likely upgrade to 8 soon). I have used Acid for years and still use it if i need to crank something out quick.

Alot of people saying Ableton Live, i tried this back at version 4 and liked it but went back to fruity - maybe worth another look

I used Reason 4, until about last week I switched to Ableton Live 7, which i'm not greatly familiar with yet, but I have to say it is really good and pretty easy to pick up. I still use Reason for an occasional Rewire which seems to be pretty effective.

Surprisingly, not a lot of you are big on Cubase. Hearing mainly Logic and Reason. I'm running a mac, and I'm gonna pick up some new software soon. Price isn't a major concern. Can anyone offer a quick pro's/con's rundown regarding these three pieces of software?

In particular, I'd like to know which of these programs will give me the most control in the most intuitive and user-friendly way possible? Just assume price is not an issue whatsoever.
