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. This post has been edited by Raydn Malachi: Wed 5 Nov 2003, 20:45 |

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
