i also brought myself up on fruity loops... and have many many good things to say about it. that programs definitely got a special place in my heart
but for fucks sake people... get the girl on reason or even better.
although i'm a dedicated Cubase SX2 user i know a little bout reason and i think, Cari, that its definitely your number one priority bit of kit to get into.
yes, fruity loops is accessible, easy to get into and can make some good stuff, i suggest Reason because although the early days mite be confusing, in the long term you'l get much better results and when the step comes to Cubase or Logic, i.e. going all the way, it wont be such a massive leap because you'll be used to PROPER sequencing and good synthesizers, plus descent automation.
dont start at the bottom, no matter how luring, get urself into reason or even cubase. i started a guy off on cubase the other day and he's already well into it, after like a week. and you say you're good at adapting to technology. though daunting at first, with a good teacher (and hey, i taught myself) you'll be writing good music in no time, in a program that has infinite possibilites.
in the short term it would be best to get Music for your PS2. in the longterm i reccomend taking a little extra time to learn a proper program.
