i learned with a demo version of fl and audacity. i manually looped that junks.
then i got the full version of FL, and the story took off from there. just hours and hours of messing around in the program, dreaming on musiciansfriend.com, and googling a bunch of things. that's how i learned.

yes, 'tis i! i've been "playing" piano for a long time..classically 5 or 6 yrs, then i just started jazz about two years ago, still a newb at it. i've always palyed piano, though, even if it weren't really anything constructive.
