Hey Everyone,

I want to start producing, mainly for the purposes of live playback. Mainly in a band setting, but I would like to eventually move towards thowing down some beats solo. I would like to be able to use software instead of hardware, because I tend to find it easier to work with visually, plus there seems to be a bit more that can be done digitally.

My question is, which programs will suit this purpose? I definitely need the program to be versatile, in that I would want to be able to change stuff on the fly. Maximum tweakability is an asset.

I've been told that Reason is a good program for both loop based, and sequenced programming. Is this true? Would anyone trust this program enough to use it for a live show? I also like that it can do what thousands of $$ of hardware can do, and it'll all be packaged on my laptop.

Oh, one more question. For the software that I would be looking at, would a G3@600 be sufficient for live, or would I want to go with a G4@550?

Thanks for the help, right now I'm completely clueless when it comes to this stuff, and I don't really trust the guys who are trying to sell me this stuff...

For use, instant modification of audio bits and pieces (no midi sequencing) Ableton Live is impressive. You can use VST plugins with also.

www.ableton.de

A quick glance at the site told me Reason and Live can work together (rewire tech)
