# depends what you want to do
the full fruityloops package is getting pretty complex, but still tends to favour four to the floor dance stompers. If you want to pull together sample based music, you could go the acid route (much more satisfying results than fruity loops as a beginner) - a free cutdown version is at here and download the free cutdown version acid express, or buy a copy of acid music for around £30. If its just sequencing, get a free version of cubasis from the disc on the front of Computer Music magazine.

And er make music...

# I'm giving it a go downloading at home ..
... sadly at work - although we have nice quick connection, we don't have a CD burner.

Oh well. 12% done.

if this cuts out now... i'm going to go "grr.." and hit the keyboard - and turn off the PC too quickly. That'll show it.

# oh yeah
i forgot to say that i recomend friutyloops3 it can do some really amazing things with samples once youve got your head round it (which shouldnt be difficult if youve used an old tracker style prog before)
