I can't figure out who said this originally, but I respectfully submit
that they're completely full of shit.  Fruity loops and Rebirth are great
tools for producers.  They're just one tool among many in the digital pallette.
The fact is that nearly everyone I know who produces, even if they have
a studio full of gear, is getting more and more into doing work with
software.

The thing about producing music is that you have to ideas and the skills
to realize them, with whatever tools happen to be handy. Computers are
getting VERY handy.

Nahh... it's all about building a comfortable working environment, and
finding what works for you. The people with the "cans" and "cant's" aren't
the ones doing it -- you are. The only "can't" is you can't suck and expect
people to want to hear it.  And not sucking is a life's work.
