Anyone here ever write any techno?

Hey folks, I was looking to buy a loop-based music creation program. Any of you ever use any? I've got no experience writing loop-based music, so it'd have to be pretty user-friendly. Thanks in advance,

No man.
It's like this

Bar 1-4 Instrument 1
Bar 4-8 Instrument 1 + Instrument 2
Bar 8-12 Instrument 1 + Instrument 2 + Synth
Bar 12-36 Instrument 1 + Instrument 2 + Synth + Voice Sample
Bar 36-40 Break in music with slow build up to All Instruments + Synth + Voice Sample
Bar 40-End All Instruments + Synth + Voice Sample

Done.

I'm not looking for style bits, though thanks for the thought. I'm looking for what program to put that kind of info into. Thanks,

Sorry, missed that bit El Farlo. I've tried Fruity Loops, but I suspect there might be something better. It'll do in a pinch though. Thanks,

Acid is pretty popular.
Reason was used by Front 242 for their last album.

Fruityloops is much easier to use though, so if you're learning, I'd go with that. Otherwise, Acid seems pretty useful if you have the samples or softsynths to run in it.
If nothing else, harsh noises get your attention.

there are some great programs out there. How much you willing to spend?? You can get some basic entry level programs that won't do much for ya for free or some really great programs with lotsa options for close to $1000.

i have acid pro, but i have no idea as to how to use it, so i basically just fuck around with fruity loops when i get bored. Im a guitarist, so the only real reason i use either of them is to get some ear practice in.
I will obey the Forum rules for sig image size.

Reverse the order for other types of electronic music.

It's all the same.

You need to listen to some of the stuff from Subconscious Studios.
Download's The Eyes of Stanley Pain manages to avoid any formulas.
