Good Beat making program?

I have heard some pretty neat stuff made on FL... It is just limited compared to some of the more high end programs...

Reason is good, but but the Orkester Soundbank gets annoying after a while. So get a midi controller if you really want to use it, and a sound rack too (trust me). Fruity Loops is easy to use, but the factory samples are paper thin. So you'd have to STILL get a midi controller and buy some sample disks to run it. Basically your best bet would be to get a nice keyboard with midi capabilities, and an Akai MPC...ftw. Roland Fantom X8 if you were wondering which keyboard to get //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

i use FL studio if i'm bored or somethin, can make pretty cool beats with that software, takes a while to get used too, took me a week to finally get a feel for it and the patterns and shit like that

I tried FL but I didn't like it... nobody has mentioned Sony Acid yet. Even the basic one is great and very visual.

A long time ago I used to play with Sonar... Do they still even make that?

Yeah, it definitely depends on the person. I've tried a few different programs and Acid seems to work best for me and it's a plus that I can use it to record my songs too. I prefer it over Cool Edit Pro or whatever Adobe changed its name to.

i could give Sony Acid another shot, how long did it take you to get a feel for it? a week or so?
