Reason is a really easy "sound bank" to pick. Listening to a track you can tell if it's been produced in reason (well a trained ear can anyhow).
Cubase is a bit harder to learn, but you'll get a far more unique sound out of it, which will make it stand out further.
But Reason vs Fruity; Reason :)

Lol, yeah forgot about what you did in college, whoops :)
My production app/studio of the moment is what Holden uses... www.buzzmachines.com it's not for everyone (it's a very technical app), but I love it :)

Hey Jace,
im liking it.
few things, it sounds very "naked Angel-ish" but maybe thats a good thing, just reminds me of the track thats all.
but yeah my main point is for a long track it sorta doesnt have a climax, you may want it to be like that, but its like anticipating something that never happens...
thats the feel i get.
i couldnt do better though hehe, thats my opinion as a listener :) |

My thoughts and impressions randomly(keyword here:D) thrown down:
0-28: I like the percs(too loud tho). Congos/Rimshot, good. The kick is a bit "undefined" and muddy. It doesn't provide any drive, rather, everything is being driven by the percs and that congo/rimshot.
Okie, is the basslead that comes in @.29 the the sample basslead that comes from the Naked Angel remix comp? :D Either way, I like it. Reminds me of Naked Angel.:D
That little on beat congo/rimshot you have going with the kick I don't really like. I think you should fill the space it takes up with a better kick and maybe make the congo/rimshot off beat. I think with a better kick(one that fills up more head room)and an onbeat snare, this track would have alot more drive and oomph.
Ghostvoice vocals: Okay, these are out of the naked angel remix comp. Gives the track and eerie feeling.
The first breakdown comes @ 2:22 : The lead isen't really to my taste but I'm sure there are people who like it. I don't really like the buildup tho :( I was waiting for little pieces of the track to slowly come back in, like the percs, and that bassline! Instead it just hits you at 2:57 out of the blue.
Noteing the sweeps you use @ 2:58 and 3:20.
Overall,I don't like your choice of synths for this one, sorry:( The basslead/line is pretty good. And it's melody is good. But I'd work on another melody for your main lead. And fix that kick up. Also work on getting your levels and eq'ing right inside of FL instead of doing anything later in soundforge. From a mastering perspective, there's WAY to much in the mid, mid/high end. Keep at it tho! :D
