I Just Need A Quick Hand..., This is probably a silly question anyway Options

[Raydn Malachi]

I have been a Mac user for about a year now, and had Fruityloops (for PC) prior to that. Basically, what I am looking for is something as simple, yet intuitive as Fruityloops for the Mac platform. I've tried out Cubase, but I have a feeling that it is a little over the top for my needs. Perhaps I am wrong in that, but I just lack the time to really deal with anything with so steep of a learning curve.

Any suggestions that anyone could provide would be more than welcome.

Many thanks,
Rayd'n.

For recording audio and midi sequencing, I like Metro 6. Simple enough, yet powerful at the same time. For loop sequencing Ableton Live would be a good way to go.

I realize now that I should have been a little more clear when initially posting. What I was specifically looking for was something efficient for loop generation, not for audio sequencing. I think the one thing that really draws me to Fruity Loops is the insane amount of samples that are packaged along with it. Personally, I don't really have the time to create all of my own samples which seems to be necessary with something like Cubase.

I appreciate your help, and will check out Ableton Live, but if anyone else has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

Rayd'n.

Reason and Ableton Live together would fit the bill.

Reason would be your best bet for doing your loop based music production.
Samplers , synths - designed by (clavia).Drum machine with sequence control more elaborate than Fruity loops.

All the patterns that you create can be exported as loops individually or as multi parts.

A very stable program that is excellent for exporting your own loops
