Yeah. I'm slowly "updating" to version 6. Sytrus 2 is awesome and I've been playing around with Wasp XT, which is just as good (certainly much better than Wasp).
I've fiddled with Reason but it's too detailed for me to do anything quickly on it at the moment. I'll be taught how to use it in a year's time at Uni (would have been this year but I took a year out). My friend, who is a DJ and producer, used to use FLStudio but now he swears by Reason and recommended it to me (although he understands my reasons for not using it).
That idea I had involved a load of Metallica sound clips and perhaps some longer instrumental selections from their songs but I can't be arsed to do it at the moment. I'm currently 32/40 hours through my working week and am really tired so I might give it a shot over the weekend (unless my 40 hour week turns to 48....).
