Thanks for the help everyone. The 400 page Reaper user guide is a bitintimidating but I found all the stuff I need in about 15 mins. I willpay the reasonable Reaper fee and let you know how it goes.

I don't want to use any acid style loops.Products like Apple's Logic and Propellerhead's Reason seem to includeloads of preset loops and phrases. I don't want any of that. Ableton? I'mnot good at learning new stuff. Cubase? MOTU's Digital Performer? I thinkI could probably figure them out. Pro Tools just scares me for somereason.
