Question for music "geeks" Fl studio equivalent

Post Reply New Topic

Through odd paths I have ended up with a setup where I use Reason, Reaper and Audiomulch.
Reason because I know it intimately and can work out stuff quickly.
Reaper for when I need tricky external routing, VST support and semi-advanced MIDI, and
AM for crazy fun.

I decided many years ago (mostly because of KVR peer pressure) to pay for all my audio tools, so I haven't bothered with the expensive ones. I'm just an amateur. But some times limited tools make you do creative stuff...

Reaper isn't very limited, btw. It's just butt ugly and has the highest amount of annoying idiots in its user forum. (only partially kidding). Some really helpful ones too. I use it a lot and it can do pretty much anything.

Reason is great, though. But closed. Self contained. No VST, no midi out (biggest on my annoyance list).
