I need help. What's an easy-to-use loop sequencing software comparable to "Fruity Loops" for PC?

Ableton "Live"
Fantastic program. It works in OS9 and OS X. You can download a demo from their website. http://www.ableton.com/ |

Yep, Live 1.5 will do you nicely.

Well...
hate to step in here, but in my opinion this is like Apples and Oranges. Fruityloop is fairly cheap, has a shareware version and makes heavy use of software synths. True, you can do audio sequencing and looping, but it's on another level than Ableton Live (which I happily own). Fruityloops Full is $99 (or $49 for the "normal" version) and Ableton Live is €349 ($340) Live is awesome for remix work and for purely loop based work - if you want the best in that area, by all means, check out Live. For more of a Fruity Loops - style program I'd rather recommend Reason 2.0 (which is even more expensive, but more like FLoops imo). |

True, Reason and Live are both expensive (at least compared to Fruity Loops) but they're both excellent and they both offer a lot of creative options. I don't know anyone who's disappointed that they bought either of them.
For a more Fruity Loops-alike program, in terms of both price and features, how about Arturia's Storm 2.0? Billed as a budget alternative to Reason, it costs about £100, I think. There's a neat "turntable" feature in it, too. www.arturia.com |

yeah unfortunately there is no real fruity loop program really for the mac. Reason and live together are probably the closest but will cost you. muzys is a cheap program which might be an option and i believe radial is a new program coming out by cycling54 which could be an option as well.

I use fruity loops, Reason 2.0, Live 1.5, and Arturia Storm 2.0... Live shouldn't be lumped in with these, so I won't address it. Storm is more like Reason because it has no VST support. Fruity Loops has VST support which makes it very versatile. That said, Reason is the best one as far as sound quality is concerned and is simple to use. Storm is $99, which is its main draw. Reason and Storm come as hybrid discs. Fruity Loops is PC only. I would go for Reason 2.0 first and Strom second if you can't afford Reason.
