Recommendations?

I have the Project 5 Trial Version, and with it I have made several songs to test it out (essentially MIDI files with different instruments).

I do have Live 5 on disc, but don't use it that much. The only songs I have made with it are a Bonus Stage Theme Remix (link (http://media.putfile.com/Bonus-Stage-S1-4S7-Theme-Mix))and a Pacman: Adventures In Time remix (link coming soon) using only samples of the music there. And they both suck, although okay for a first few tries.

I'm looking for programs that have good functionality and have a good manual, like I hear FL Studio doesn't.

Well anyway, what are you looking for in software? Easy learning curve? That depends, really. Just find one program and stick with it. Do you want good audio recording functionality? MIDI functionality? Simple interface?

Here are some wares [lol not warez] to check out:
Cubase
Sonar
FL Studio
Reason
Ableton Live
Tracktion

With the proper knowledge and enough experience you can pretty much make the same quality stuff in any of those programs.

and there are more but whatever XD
