How hard is this software to use? I'd like to start creating my own techno tapes. My friend said that this is the best software to use.
Acid is so ridiculously easy to use- Trust me, you'll be fine. You're probably also going to want to check out Rebirth and Fruity Loops if you want easy-to-use techno creation tools. If you want a piece of outbaord hardware that's super-easy to use, the Korg electribe series (I have the EA-1) should work for you.
