Image Line Fruity Loops Studio 7 was easy to install without any problems or compatibility issues at all. Since installation, I have never had an issue with this software and it has always run smoothly for me. The interface of the software is easy to follow and is very user friendly. I don't have the manual for Fruity Loops Studio 7, so I can't speak to how helpful it is when trying to learn this software. However, there are a lot of ins and outs of this software and I can definitely see how having a manual around would be helpful.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I am currently running Fruity Loops Studio 7 on a Mac Book Pro that has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I have also ran Fruity Loops on a Hewlett Packard laptop, and with either of these set ups, I have never had a problem running as many tracks on this sequencer at once as I would like. It has always run stably for me, which is a big reason that I enjoy using this software so much because I never have to worry about it breaking down on me.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using Image Line Fruity Loops Studio 7 for about a year and have found it to be a great piece of software when it comes to using MIDI instruments and making drum patterns and loops. It is easy to use and its overall user friendly interface makes it a viable option for all users interested with all any type of experience. Even though it is user friendly, it does not sacrifice its capabilities and is still an extremely powerful piece of software. Whether you are looking for something to make full fledged MIDI pieces, or just to get ideas and make demos, this is a great piece of software. The price is extremely reasonable, and is great for home studio owners looking for a great MIDI sequencer. Overall, I highly recommend Image Line Fruity Loops Studio 7 to anyone interested in a cheap and easy to use MIDI software.
