Fruity Loops is not great. If you're looking for a DAW, get Behringer's energyXT 2.5. It's free, and it works pretty goddamned well. I use Logic and Ableton Live myself. Can FL even host vsti's and audio units?

Fucked if I know, but I can make a bunch of racket on the sumbitch.

VSTI's, I think so. Are audio units a Mac thing? There's no Mac version of FL. I like it because it offers a fuckload of virtual instruments and the piano roll is easy to navigate, unlike GarageBand. I should mention that I don't do any actual recording, just sample sequencing. Of course if you're recording vocals or live instruments FL is not the best choice.

Audio units are indeed a Mac thing. You should check out Ableton Live though, it's the tits, and comes with a shitload of instruments as well. I do a lot of recording, so having that available to me is necessary. That's why I use Logic for most stuff. You might want to check out this website too: createdigitalmusic.com. Good resources there. Do you have any sort of set up, or is it just the computer?

Word. Use what works then. Check out that Ableton sampler video, you can do a lot of cool FM stuff with it. You might want to check out the Korg Nano series. I have the pads and the keys, but I'm selling the pads (my MIDI keyboard has pads on them already). You can do a lot of cool shit with them, and they're not very expensive at all.
