What Kind Of Software Do You Use To Make Beats?

Yeah, by definition using them as controllers to tweak parts of the digital instruments, que samples, and manipulate your production is what I'm talking about. Changing the rate and amount of a synth's LSO can be keymapped to a knob or slider and can be changed in real-time. You can create music in these programs without external controllers and can use your computer keyboard to trigger notes, but these are the toys I never had.
This doesn't have any traditional piano keys, so the concept of an "external musical keyboard" only goes so far. Not to say I don't use and love my 49 keys(which have sliders, knobs, and pads too) but the controlling capabilities of the APC or any of the MPC line, MPC5000 *drooool* is far beyond what most external midi keyboard/controller combos can accomplish.
Fruity loops isn't really that bad. Its great for drums and for a sequencer for just starting out. Just don't use the FL sounds. I use a bunch of VST's from sampletank to native instruments. I use a roland drum machine, midi drum machine, midi keyboard, and motif x6. I mostly use Sony Acid Pro for the sequencer, hopefully ill get pro tools soon. For vocal recording I forget what specific kind of mic I have since I've had it for almost a year. Also use a behringer 21 channel mixer and an equalizer for fun.
I worked with someone at one of my old jobs that was basically running a professional studio as a producer/engineer and he helped out a lot. Try to get like a mentor, it helps.
