I'm thinking SoundForge or CoolEdit (or another wave-editor) is a must since manipulating samples is something you'll be putting some serious time in.
Reason is good but IMO it's simular to FruityLoops so I wouldn't _buy_ it if you already have the other. It's never a bad idea to try Reason out before you make up your mind though, you might feel more comfortable working with it's user-interface if you are more rack/hardware minded. Reactor I can't say much about. If I'm not mistaken it's a tool to build your own soft- synths, but I have found it too complex to put a lot of time in it. Again here, I would try before I buy (read: warez :)) About sequencer. I dunno, I'm using Fruity as my sequencer of choice actually. Nowadays it can be used for a lot more than programming the drums. hope this helps, see ya! ------------------------ On 25 Apr 2002 at 11:53, Jimmy Lewis wrote: > I have a lot of questions about setting up a studio.
