Have started messing about in a FL demo, and love it. I wanna get the full version or another DAW (I think that's the term!). I've heard a lot of producers (appleblim, benga etc) started with and still use fruity loops. Is it the best programme to start with, and if so which version, or should I save and get something like cubase/will this be to complex? Thanks.

I've used FL Studio for a number of years, and used many others also...Still using FL religiously.

just changed from Tracktion to FLstudio...tracktion is a top draw DAW and a simple learning curve, but FLstudio workflow seems to work more intuitively for me

If you like FL Studio (I personally like it the least out of everything I've used, only rivaled by Reason) stick to it. Eventually, any tool can produce a decent tune. So it doesn't matter to the end result, just the process.
If you want to try something else, I'll just recommend the love of my life. Renoise.
The way I see it, if you want to try another program to see how you would like it, you should go for the polar opposite to cover more ground and given that Renoise is a tracker rather than a sequencer, you'll get a different experience out of it. Just make sure you'll do the tutorials online when you first try it, since the environment is different.
