Anybody using P5 (Project 5) w/ Live

I was goin' to get Reason but....
P5 sounds better
Has VSTi hosting
Rewire compatibility with Live
Plays ACID files.
(I'd use Soundforge 7 for acidising files for P5)
Reaktor Session
Live for everything else.
I'm shifting from hardware to software after 15 years

So I'm quite content learning a new interface.
What do you think.
My mind says YES ....
Reason for all it's bells and whisltes still sounds papry thin to these ears....
Comments please.

Papery thin? HAHAHAHA.

I've heard P5, and the demo sounds sound like Octamed or some shit

Although to be fair.. arseholes like you and me shouldn't judge a program by its demo tunes

Get Reason. Fat as fuck.

Hello!
Try out FruityLoops! It has the same possibillities as P5, is also pattern based and runs very stable. And you can typing keyboard to midi, for me very usefull for prehearing my sounds in different note heights when I´m on the road using my Lappi!
I tried out P5 and my first impression of the GUI was not so good. Too many big windows always on top.

Well actually arseholes like me where actually judging by the tracks done by end users

(which generally give a better picture IMHO)
And done fruity not my cup of tea ....
Reaktor I've been pretty impressed with.
Of course if Metasynth was OSX I'd go Mac but it aint so I gotta look elsewhere.

go fruity--cheaper, more flexible than reason and easier to use than P5

P5 works very well and allows use of Reaktor with Live. It is CPU hungry
so you will need a powerfull computer. Live, P5, Reaktor and Sonic Charge VST drum machine and you are sorted!

Hello!
And another plus for FL is that you don´t have to use a VST to DX adapter wich makes the whole VST thingy not stabler!
