Try it out, it's hours and hours of addictive fun.

I don't think you can download any loops you create, though, and that's the only soundboard you can use, so no making it a bass or anything, sadly.

But it's still oodles of fun for the whole family. Enjoy!

Oh shit! I had a great time messing about with this...

...when Greasy posted it about three years ago.

...Shit.

I didn't hear about this 'till last week...

Anyway, if you like simple loop fun, get yourself fruityloops. Not that difficult and loads of fun. Now if you want difficult, get Propellerhead's Reason

Still a lot of producers use FL Studio. For anyone who's interested, you can find a load of information and reviews on this page http://audio-production-software-review ... views.com/ .
Don't look at the order, that's highly subjective for what you want to do with it. It's also highly subjective as people like different things or are used to different things. You can create complete songs with a redrum computer or use 50 hardware components, or 1 program that has all the hardware components, or loop your ass off with FL or whatever. Having fun yourself is important and the definition of good music is very vague

Cubase is missing from that list as well.
So far I've used Fruity loops, Orion (which is awesome for strings) and reason. Mainly concentrating on reason right now.
Probably gonna go combine it with cubase later on and use orion for strings. Pro tools probably also nice to take a look at when you really gonna set up a propper studio.
For the rest Logic on the mac is also a program that a lot of propper producers like to use. Abbleton is nice for live producing, never used it myself though.
Traktor by the way is nice for mixing music.

Here are some more review pages for recording software and "loop" software for the die hards:

P.S. Reason has it's own recording software program as well now, Proppellerheads Record 1.5 , looks pretty good as well.

FL? HAH!

Reason!

Although mostly I just hook up my MIDI keyboard and fuck around with synth. Oh well.
