If so, is it any good? It doesn't seem to be as popular as Reason and Fruity Loops, but I think it might be just as good, if not better. Also it's not specifically not programmed for electronic music-making, so that also would give the user more creative possibilities. It is quite expensive though and has heavy system requirements, and I can't download it from Soulseek either, but I'm just curious. |

'It is quite expensive though' get kazaa |

I can't figure the fucker out. I don't have the time or the will to learn, either. Got it for free off Soulseek, too. Don't pay! Be bad. |

I use Soulseek, which is just as good as Kazaa. . . and actually I think I can get it from Soulseek, but that's aside from the point. |

buy it dudes, its well worth it |

Is it better than Fruity Loops? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Does it come with a Soundbank like Reason? |
||||||||
|

I wouldn't really compare reaktor to fruityloops. And its got a big 'soundbank' of presets with it to keep you happy. Very powerful |
||||||||

|
Is it good for making electronic music though? Do you suggest I start using it entirely, and completely forget about Fruity/Reason? |
||||||||

you'll probably need a sequencer like logic or something |
||||||||
|

OK, I think it's time I checked Reaktor out. *starts downloading it from Soulseek* |
||||||||

I wouldn't bother only use it if you really wanna put in the effort to learn synthesis. That won't come with any presets, to put it simply yuo'll be thrown in the deep end and probably unload a load of trojans onto your pc |

|

Hmmph. . . well I'll try it anyway. |
||||||||

It's a program to design your own synthesizers/samplers/sequencers and FX. There are thousands of presets included but in some newer cracked versions all the presets and macros are left out to save space. |

|
OK so it's not actually one of those loop-based music making programs like Acid Pro or Fruityloops? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, it's more like lego for making your own devices and afterwards you can sequence your creations with an external sequencer like fruityloops, Cubase, Logic audio, Sonar, Orion, Buzz, etc. But if you use the presets you don't have to build anything so you can go as "deep" as you like(and the program allows)... |

On the NATIVE INSTRUMENTS website www.nativeinstruments.com it explains its basically a whole studio, its a sampler. You can design your own synth's with it. It has filters, compressors, EQ's, effects. The specifications are amazing 32bit audio engine, build your own instrument from scratch etc. The thing is I think you have to be einstein to use Reaktor & Reason from what ive heard about reason its a virtual rack mount with like 20+ units you have to virtually hook them together with virtual cords? then figure out how to use them in combination with on another. Are you freakin kidding me ? who knows how to use these, i dont know? Computer's freeze and crash, and can easily get totally screwed up, i dont dare try to make music with them, very unreliable and scary. |

So I guess I had just better stick with good old, reliable Fruity Loops, huh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes. |

no WAY! reaktor is the bomb if you really like to make your OWN music! Its not _that_ intense on CPU - I had v2.0 running on a 200Mhz intel, and now I have v3.0 on a PPC 500 without huge limitations to what I'm doing (granular stuff excluding). I even made a few generative patches, where you press a button and out comes the finished track, and trust me I am NOT THAT CLEVER. |

Cool, maybe we can swap some patches? |
||||||||

it's very good. one of the most powerful software synths ever made. it's much more than a synth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

reaktor is awesome for creating your own synths. it is a modular synth, like the oldschool big ass synths with all the patch leads and shit hangin everywhere, but a software version. you just plug osc's into filters and stuff. its really quite complex, but is real good for learning synthisis on. if your new to this sort of thing i would recomend dynamo. never used it myself, but its meant to be a striped down version of reaktor. check the NI website for more details. another modular synth i would recomend is absynth. allot simpler, but able to create very complex sounds. |

There's also a modular softsynth called synthedit(PC), it can export your creations to VSTI so anyone can use it http://www.synthedit.com |
