I remember a week or so ago someone saying how stuff they make in ejay shames their stuff where they made everything... I was reminded of this at the weekend when I made an ejay track (hadn't used it for nearly a year) in about an hour that sounded better than lots of tracks I'd spent days on :(
I've decided I'm going to nick the samples and use them in Acid & Live along with my own stuff :)

Ah they're royalty free anyway and I legally own a copy. They can't complain :P
Still, I'm getting better at making several second loops using fruityloops for use in Acid & Live, so hopefully I'll be able to relegate eJay to the cupboard for good soon :) I really hate using samples apart from vocals or sound effects. Everything else seems like stealing.

I started off using re-birth when that first came out, then I used acid for a year or so. Then I had a break from music making for 2 years, before winning a box of 12 ejay CDs in a competition got me back into making music. Since getting floops I haven't gone back to ejay, but having it installed at my parents' house is good as I can make tracks there too (floops won't run properly on that machine...), albeit ejay ones.

I made my best track ever not long ago via eJay. But it isn't so much stealing because I alter everything (add FX, use samples, cut up drumloops), so it's all good.

Id recommand REASON 2 ! It has tons of nice samples, and you can at least say, you did the drum programming yourself

Yes, I add in my own loops etc, but just the fact that I'm using other peoples synth loops etc. makes me feel like a fraud :)
I think its strength is that it makes you focus on something that sounds good rather than is just technically good or has a complex structure. I think Acid is a good "halfway house" between creativity and simplicity. It'll be interesting to try out the video features of acid 4. I'll be able to link a soundtrack to bryce/poser animations etc..
