What's good? What sucks? Free, not free, what's the best, give it to me.

I hear a lot of pros and noobs are using "Fruityloops", which has a steep learning curve to it.

Costs around 100$

From what I've heard it's one of the best. But don't quote me on that.

Compared to everything else, Fruityloops is the easiest program out there.

It really depends on what you want to make, though. Fruityloops is primarily for techno, Finale! is for orchestral and classical, and Cakewalk Sonar and some others can be used for almost anything.

I personally have experience with Reason from Propellerheads .

It's more expensive than the others I believe, but a very versitile and easy to use program.

edit: Oh wow, I just realized Reason 3.0 is $499, I think the first one was only $299. Still a killer deal for what you get, but if your just starting you might not want to make that big of a jump.
