for making beats and melodies, Fruity Loops Studio is the best I've ever used. FL studio in conjunction with Adobe Audition (cool edit I think now) is perfect.
yah i have heard alot about this Fruity Loops Studio.... gonna have to check it out. I bets its expensive..not that it matters....but yah. I bet its pretty hard to use to.People at work . (cust) are always on the macs playing with garage band...
any good guide on how to use fruity loops? Trying to find some now. I need like the idiots guide to it lmao. Pretty tough cuse i don't know jack shit about music.
Couple of my friends used to use Reason (I think the latest is Reason 3.0), with Pro Tools to record/edit. Some of the beats they made sounded very professional.
