Since I got my new computer I haven't found the time to reinstall Reason so I have been making beats exclusively on FL STUDIO 9 (version 9 is something serious, those of you still rockin with older versions, time to take it up a notch). Now there are quite a few producers/nay-sayers that still don't regard FL Studio as a credible DAW/Production program (not sure why though). Mainly because the stock sounds that it comes with are garbage (ok fine, good point).
Despite that minor issue, let us not forget how easily that problem can be remedied. Download some external VSTi's and add your own sample kits and "VIOLA!" problem solved. I personally think that FL STUDIO is a fully functional DAW (especially since they added microphone recording capabilities in version 8) and can contend with the best of them.
