secret society uses Logic 8 and 9, me on 8, kevin on 9. planning on switching to 9 myself when the album is done.
been using ableton heavily for live, obviously, but also using its warping periodically to make sounds to take into logic.
i love the butteryness of logic, the sound engine is gorgeous. not gonna say anything bad about the others, they are all different, cept for reason and FL, i don't like them one bit...

ejay all the way baby 
Up until now I've been int he Cubase camp, but I'm trying out Ableton now to see what comes out of it. I like it a lot so far but I don't think I'd have a clue how to make something sound good if I hadn't learned on Cubase first.

Word, thats how it went for me.
I remember tring out Live like 5 or something a long time a go when I was still looking for my DAW and just made my self crazy for a few days on abletonended up giving up about 2 minute in(Thats affter the few times I wrote over the audio I had just made, Gererr!!!) Finally just exported and brought the sounds in to Cubase.
I watched a ton of Tutaorial videos on how to do a dj set and a few Tom Cosm's production videos and mess around a bit and bam!
But imagine if we had learned on Live and how much more profishint we would be on it. I watch people who "really" know Ableton and they just fly around and do all kind of shit, I have no idea what all is possible but I know its a masive list of features.

i think for serious production, live is lacking. its sound engine, probably due to all the real time processing it does, just has an aggressive feel to it. and my biggest complaint is the lack of changeable key commands and extra features.
i have been thinking for the last year or so that ableton should have a specific version called the 'producer version', that focusses much more on the little gnitty gritties that make a program a breeze to work on. i was really really surprised at the lack of flexibility in ableton, especially in regards to the key commands.
other than these 2 complaints, i love ableton in every way, and i do think it is THE MOST brilliant piece of programming that i have seen in, well, ever! they really pushed the electronic genre forward and opened us up to becoming live musicians, and that just plain kicks ass!

ahh. so youre one half of this secret society i've read about.. (sadly never heard of you )
The music I've heard produced on Reason has always had a fake, tinny sound. Is this normal? or are my friends just amateurs
(Im a complete noob at this stuff, so excuse my ignorance)

though some people have been able to pull a professional sound entirely out of reason, it is not really made to be a whole studio production DAW. SOOOOO limited by itself, with audio triggered only by midi and very little audio manipulation tools.
i can usually point out a reason track just by listening. plus for some reason, people who use reason tend to always use the sound bank percussion, which is sooooo easy to pick out of a track.

its the effects in reason mostly. you cant get the wideness that you can in other programs...really subby bass is tough too. but if you take some of those synths make sounds with em then export and eq and arrange elsewhere you get some really nice sounds. i like that the synths in reason arent affraid to hurt your ears if you tell em too. that can all be tamed later. most of the effects in reason are not even as good as cheap guitar pedals. two band parametric eq (why stop at 2?) i like scream and the reverb but you cant make a song out of that combination. youd think since they dont allow you to use plugins that theyd make sure theirs are sufficient first.

Cubase 5.1, cause I don't have a Mac.
The TerraKroma kids have an Access VirusTi, but they're more of the proggy folk.
Reason always sounds thin to me, but Bodhisattva 1320 seems to be able to do some killer stuff with it... |

anyone know of any program similar to MixMeister Fusion that runs on Ubuntu 9.10? I've tried several and can't find anything close to an analog. I like MixMeister, but my laptop runs so much faster in Ubuntu than Windows.

My history of music production software in chronological order:
Impulse Tracker
Modplug Tracker
Buzz
Reason
Acid
Fruity Loops
Cubase SX2 - SX3
Logic 8 - 9
I'm using Logic because it seemed like logical choice (pun intended) after switching to Mac. Logic is a murderer, but I still miss Cubase dearly.
I only use Ableton Live for performing, never actually finished a tune in it.
