The problem with fl8 is that it makes things too acessible and it is easy to botch together a 'track' that will come out full of flaws but still look like a track. Reason's learning curve means this is much harder to do. i.e. LEARNING to produce on Reason is probably more helpful. Once your where you wanna be though, i find fruity loops just as powerful as reason 4, it just takes a little know how how to get that ADVANCED functionality out of fruity loops. It is there however. ive used reason and ive used fruity loops 8. i now use fruity loops 8.

We have to take time to develop our skills. Skill as musicians, as engineers and as listeners.That's where good music comes from. Lastly, if you give a professional artist a pencil, you'll be amazed at what they can draw..Give that same pencil to a person with no skill at art and they draw stick figures. Both had the same tool. One had developed their craft. Choosing software is kind of like that. Practice your craft, gain knowledge and listen. It won't matter what you use. Matter of fact, you might use all of these software depending on what goal you were trying to achieve. Peace Great Site!!…..All software are just tools…..the skill of the person using the tool is what matters in my opinion.

It is the first piece or hardware/software I've ever used that does not seem to lose it usefulness. The sound mastering capabilities are astounding; I can't tell you how many top engineers in my city have asked me 'at what studio do you record?', only to tell them I record, mix, and master at home, on Reason 3.0. Do bear in mind that though it is only software, it is pushed by your computer's CPU (duo core in my box), the same way any outboard digital compressor, limiter, gate, maximizer's, (etc.) cpu works. If you read up, partake in forums, pick an engineer's brain every now and then, you can do serious industry level stuff with Reason. Reason 3.0, 4.0 brings in the new millenium for home based guys like your man here, Timmy2Tymes. Peace, One! Yeah, I prefer Reason too.

I've used Reason and FL, but I still come back to P5. It's so user friendly and it's open ended (you can use it with other types of software)It's an excellent investment for beginners and pros alike.
