Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] Mac - M-Tron Pro

I would recommend Reaper. It's less than 12meg, works on practicallyanything (old, new, OSX, PPC, PC), is stable, well supported, and isincredibly powerful.

Hi Clay,  Ableton is really easy to use and is a very versatilesequencer/launch platform. I got the basics working in an afternoon-it'svery intuitive and has user friendly graphics. It's the easirst one I'vemessed around with. There are lots of things it can do as you get used toit but the basics are a breeze...

I took the advice and have M-Tron Pro. The Streetly tapes are fab. I didnot know that other sound samples were included as well. (The ARP ProSoloist fuzz guitar - Nice!) I was surprised to find all of the presetsand 'artist' presets.

I am now looking for a good, easy to learn Mac host app. A good sequencer/ recorder / editor. I don't want to use any acid style loops. Productslike Apple's Logic and Propellerhead's Reason seem to include loads ofpreset loops and phrases. I don't want any of that. Ableton? I'm not goodat learning new stuff. Cubase? MOTU's Digital Performer? I think I couldprobably figure them out. Pro Tools just scares me for somereason.
