# You got me there.
They do have the odd good film on there.

Oh and sorry to TJ guys, but which music production software would be best to start out with, Reaper or Ableton? And where would I get either one for the Mac?

It's free for home use.

If you really like it and make money from it go ahead and register.

# Ahh, so not too different from a trial of Photoshop.
I might register after a while then, if, or course, I make money from the music I make.
