Some exclusively on macs.

btw, macs don't break. period. so what could you possibly need to "fix" on a system that has no downtime?


mpc are no where near the best piece of production equipment... what so ever... especially here in the last 3 years... LONG way away... ask Just Blaze... <---baaaaaahaahhahahaha, just blaze swears his life on an mpc. youtube for "justblaze" and you'll see him making one of the illest beats i've ever heard on one as he dickstrokes it. but yeah.... just blaze also uses a mac soooooo.........what does he know, right? apparantly you're the one thats got it all figured out.


the best combination as far as programs... reason rewired into fruityloops... fl has a better sound engine than reason now... reason has better sounds... fl supports vsts... which reason doesn't... now you're saying fruity loops is the best.... dude, you gotta be jokin. fruity loops was designed to make beats for video games and ringtones for cellphones. unless you've used it for decades and your name is 9th wonder, you'd be a fool to use fruity loops like it's the shit. as a matter fact... i can't think of 3 producers with a name that use fruity loops what so ever. if you swear by fruity loops, you might as well be using MTV Music Generator and calling that the best.

garage band is overrated... good... but overrated like the mpc. GB definitely isn't "production software" it's built for recording and also produces. but i wouldn't all GB overrated. its named the greatest free audio program period, even better than a lot of high-buck programs, and it is far and away.



the best pieces of gear production wise now... in order...


1. Korg Oasys...
2. Roland MC808...
3. Yamaha Motif ES8...



Darkmanner... you aren't missing out on anything with the Triton... really... it's pretty overrated... overused and completely out dated...

The Motif has better flutes... and strings... that's about it... well and the pianos sound better... more life like... not that the roland doesn't have great piano sounds... the motif sounds alot better...
