I say go and give it a real whirl! The key is Session View... you get to play around on one "side" before getting to the stress of finding the perfect arrangement.

Swiitched to Mac and then back to Cubase 4 and now V5. Phew! Along the way I've looked at Logic (just can't get into the flow of it), glanced at Reaper (coming along nicely BTW) got fleeced by digidesign... and heard of Abelton Live LOL. I'd love some comments here (not a war...) about how well Live *really* works for multitrack recording, MIDI, virtual instruments etc. What *is* it about the interface that I hear is so intuitive? Given a prod I might even try it! Best Lee HI

I stuck with Cubase through an Akai S950 and then with a Yamaha A3000. I moved over to Cakewalk when I got a second hand PC, and after dabbling with Reason I tried Ableton and I've never looked back. Back when I was in XP8 we'd use Pro Tools, but for what I want to do, I'm happy with Ableton, though my humble PC is only happy with Live 5. I don't notice the limits much, well, apart from the biggest limit which is me. ;) Now if we want to talk about how I started sequencing then I am very happy to say I still have my SH101 and my TR606.
