youtube is great. i use FL8 Producer Edition. Much more simple to start out with than many other programs. very user friendly and if you're ever stuck on something, you can always refer to the fruity loops faq included with the program or, as mentioned before, check out youtube! someone can probably explain it to you in layman's terms so that you'll be able to fully understand what you're doing. not the greatest but a very good program, all around.
