Which music program do you advise?

I know there was a thread similar to this before, but:

OK, so I was using fl studio 9 for a while back there, and made some alright songs.. and recently I reformatted my pc, and lost all my data, so i downloaded fl 10.. it was different and a little weird.. so i thought while i was at it, i'd download reason 5... turns out reason is completely different to fl.. like, i have no idea what the fuck anything is..

So i'm curious.. What would you prefer? FL, Reason, Abelton?

I'm looking to use something that is pretty easy to get.. and is similar to fl 9 in style of user friendlyness.. since reason isn't... at all...

Also, i had a sliced beats thing.. not entirely sure what it was called, but it had club kicks, trance kicks, lots of different drum sounds, and synth sounds.. no idea what it was called >

Spotify. Pretty awesome c:

Music maker, not listener.. sorry :/

FL all the way. FL 10 may be complicated, but its really good in the long run :D

fair enough, i'll keep to it... any reccomended VCE plugins? preferably drums and such for better sounding drums, as FPC doesn't work overly well :|

I use FL studio

FL Studio is great because it's not hard to learn.
I myself use it.
And if you want sounds have you tryed Essentials?
There are some great Essentials packs and if you get one you can just mix around with the sound to make it sound more like a self-made sound other than a pack sound.

oh fair enough, i'll have a look for that, and then get some good drums :D

Adobe audition =DDD

some people use steinberg cubase though

How good has Adobe Audition gotten? I haven't used that program in three years.

For a course I did a while back, we used Logic Pro 9, Cubase 4 and Pro Tools. All had their own benefits.
Logic and Cubase is more for using virtual synths, while Pro Tools is better for actual instrument recording. But to answer your question, I haven't used any of those programmes.

Would have said obviously free versions.. but then i remembered fl studio isn't free *coughs*
Pro-tools and logic and such are WAAAAY out of my price range lol.

I'd say Cubase, but that might only be because I learned to use it somewhat properly, it can be a real bitch sometimes.

On the other hand, if you want something good with a user-friendly interface, I'd say Logic is the way to go. (Just pirate it lol.)

Aight man, might try that then
