FLP kicks ass...
I use FLP almost exclusively for all my beats...it kicks serious ass -- I disagree with WallyCleaver that it's just a starter program though -- It can be immensely powerful if you take the time to learn to use it right, and to it's complete capacity. I haven't had a chance to demo v. 3.0 yet, but I'm sure it can't be any worse than 2.76 -- and looking at the list of updates and features, it's probably quite a bit better. If you don't have it already, get the demo -- you will be pleased. Any questions, let me know,
Later,
