I've found FlexiMusic Composer a music improvising software really useful, and easy to operate, give it a shot.

You should look into Sony's Acid. It has a great loop engine that should integrate well with fruity loops. _________________ Post and look at home studio pictures for free! Show people what your space and gear looks like, or get ideas from others.

If you want to use Vocals with your loops, Sony will not quite cut it. Cubase 5 has a new Audio engine that is excellent!
The other program widely used is Pro Tools, and is very clean and easy to use, albeit a tad more expensive than Cubase.
These 2 programs make the vast majority of what the 'pros' use.

Acid will work great. Its the only program i use. I primary do electronic down tempo stuff and add tons of vocals. It works perfect. I've also multi-tracked drums, multiple voices, and many other multi-mic set ups. This program does a heck of a lot more than loops! _________________ Post and look at home studio pictures for free!

It works, but it is not near the same quality.

How so? As long as you have a good A/D D/A converter you should be ok. I'm not trying to compare Acid to a Pro Tools HD system. _________________ Post and look at home studio pictures for free! Show people what your space and gear looks like, or get ideas from others.

There are plenty of articles on the net about your q. Acid is really loop based, designed for electronica and techno etc, but the audio engine is not well suited. There really IMO is nothing special about Pro Tools, especially when compared to Cubase 5. Acid does work for audio, but like I said prior, it is not near the quality of recording compared to either Pro Tools, Nuendo, or Cubase.

Protools is just a big name. People think they can just buy the best package and all of a sudden be able to make great sounding music...it is not always so, in fact pretty much the majority of the time it isnt so.
