OK so im on a 1.5 Ghz G4 Laptop with Tiger and I've been using Garage Band to make music with software instuments but i can tell it is hindering me from my full potential as an artist if you know what i mean;). I don't record really, but I do need to make beats and such. I'm a newbie to this whole thing, and really, i just wanna be like aphex twin... There's a class i can take that uses Reason, but i don't want to have to end up buying something else later because reason isn't good enough.
What should I buy?
