Well Fruity Loops is what most people start on, but if you really wanna go all out then I'd suggest Reason 4.0. It's the most powerful production software available, but it's like $550-$650. Then there's protools, but that's like $400-$500 I think and you have to get a MIDI keyboard either way. You don't have to do all that with fruity loops, so that's probably the most sensible.

You're right. Plus I got a GREAT site with some really in depth tutorials


Ummm... FL Studio you could probably get on here if you request it. But to buy it it's probably like $80-$100 or smtn

If you go to download requests and request FL Studio 8 or w/e the newest one is then chances are someone will upload it for you, yes.
