Brother, rule #1 is that if it sounds good, it is good. I've done some killer loops in Hammerhead in the past. Nowadays I use the sampler with the RM1X, but it's really only because I'm not in the studio all the time (no PC), and I have a real drummer who's gonna throw out my programming anyways

99's got it right. I have a buddy that does entire live sets out of his lappy with fruity. Well respected artist and producer, to boot. I don't do it, myself. I prefer my hardware, but sometimes I look at him going wherever with just a little book bag and his lappy in side, and wonder why I'm carrying these gawdamn heavy cases every time I play out. At the end of the day, if it works for you, that's what counts.

i LOVE fruityloops. i write most of my beats on it, then export the midi and samples onto CUBASE and my hardware smapler to record/tweak etc.

if only fruity were a VSTi *sigh*

well it's going to be a VST compatible so someone said - great!!!!!!!!... one of the best groove s/w's can now run inside your fav' sequencer !

Sox will like that!! - he used Fruity all the time for grooves and then imports them.

Yeah, I mentioned the fruity vsti thing a while back... It looks nice... I've been a supporter for awhile...

For those of you who aren't up to speed with the Fruity of the last few years, heres a rundown:

VST and DX compatible, ASIO (with really good latency, I get about 8ms with SBLIVE hacked drivers, on a good day), tons of included synths and fx, (3 delays, compressor,granular synth/sampler, 3osc synth, ts404, mdapiano and epiano, buzzmachine compatible, an fm synth, soundfont player, internal beatslicer,formula (math) controller, peak controller, chorus, 3 filters, phaser, reverbs, phase inverter, flanger,scratcher, 2 eq's, x-y controller etc etc etc) LAYERED channels (tidys things up), channel groups, you can finally assign drums up and down the keys, multiple outs (as of 3.5)...

Piano roll for all samples so you can get a groove (no more sticky 16th note step sequencing, unless you want to)... all kinds of crazy ways to automate (knob to knob, knob to volume peak, knob to lfo, knob to math formula, knob to midi apreg... whatever....),

Its all very fast and cpu friendly, great tutorials.... and very intuitive, once you get used to working in the environment made for software, as opposed to hardware (ie, reason, which seems rather silly to me, emulating hardware...)

Anyway, it's not a "pro" track per se, but you can check out my track "kind of automated", which was done almost completely in fruity (i sampled a juno).

People have had a stigma about it and stayed away for awhile, but its come leaps and bounds since then... especially when you consider its FREE updates (about 1 every 6 months, sometimes more) which are usually STUFFED with new things and you get those FOREVER... Once you buy it, thats it.... Great fucking deal....

Anyway, if you havent tried it in a while, give it a shot... You'll be surprised.
