I started out when i was about 13 or 14 with Acid, putting loops together, making horrible trance music... lol then i decided to pay more attention to guitar, started a band, that fell threw of course... then met, now one of my best friends, in highschool, he played guitar as well, but was wanting to cater to more of a hip-hop vibe... so he introduced me to fruity loops, I used it non-stop for about 2 years, then I got the guts up to try to mess with Reason, though it looked like it was going to be hell trying to figure it out...
that was about 4 or 5 years ago now... Even the first crappy track i made in reason had amazing sound quality compared to the instruments in FL.
I fell in love with reason and its very low latency and low CPU usage, which allowed me to use more than 3 instruments and not start going CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP like in FL.. HAHA
