reason

Most of my Mash Ups, Remixes and Original work is done in Reason.
The big down side of the programme is that you can’t send midi out from it. Not a massive issue, just sometimes takes longer to get a desired sound/effect.

As mentioned earlier, get hold of Recyle for sample/loop preparation. Once you get your head around it (best settings to use etc) you’ll find you can do so much more with your musical creations
