nothing wrong with fruity, if you find it easiest stick with it
you can make exactly the same quality of music on fruityloops as on cubase imo....

This is true but sometimes its worth trying out other sequencers to see what works best for you

The best thing I found to improve my production was sitting next in with mates who write tunes & asking questions.
Watching is the best thing you can do, I learnt so much stupid shit
about the sequencer (Cubase) that makes life so much easier.
Bigup Spherix / Cubist / Livewire
I found Cubase the easiest thing to get my head around and
would recommend it. But everyones using everything so yea *shrug*
Here's a list of things I would start with getting:
Cubase SX3
Waves Diamond Bundle v5
Audio Damage Dub Station
Antares Tube
Camelphat
Sonalksis bundle
Elemental Audio Inspector XL ( I prefer this graphic analyzer to the waves on)
Have a look for some synths like albino/blue/hydra.
Don't download 100s of plugs either, waste of time.
Learn one or two inside out
If your comfortable in Fruity, stay in Fruity.
Give Cubase a go though, if you have any problems, just ask in here?
What exactly are you having problems with in Cubase?
Im not an expert at production, but Im sure I could help with things
Easy

Well i think i need to watch the rest of the 60,000 hours of video tutorials i downloaded for cubase to save askin any stupid questions lol! i tried reason aswell, fruity i understand how to get some noises out of, and had a good play, made a couple of (amature) tracks. reason and cubase i can barely get noises out of and defo cant get them racked up into any kind of structure lol, as you do on fruity with the little *highlight box for sound method* back to the tutorials then i guess lol
