07 Reason
Propellerhead's Reason is based around a virtual studio with a desk and a 'rack' full of gear.
You fill the rack with a choice of synths, drum machines, samplers and effects processors which come with the program.
Then you put it all together with virtual leads and programme a series of sequencers to make your tune.
Reason does a good job of simulating the old-fashioned synths that the house, techno and trance producers like.
It doesn't have any direct means of recording sounds, but you can play loops back through its virtual samplers.
It's another package that will sit alongside the bigger audio-based programs.
Like Fruity Loops, it's also a great way of getting experience of how synths work.
It costs just over £200 so check it out to see if it's right for you before you buy.
