Hmmm, that reverse psychology actualy. I think if you're just startin out on a pc its more confusing to learn and gain result simply because its not as hands-on as the real thing. I was rocking in 10 mintues the first time I touched it and completly disassembled the initial setup. Interface was easy because I rock dem cubases long time on hardware, all issues are really the same on platforms. It's based on hardware experience which results in simply not needing the manual, you have a glance at the program and just know how to handle. I had the same thing with FL because I'd been on FT2 since a kid. To me it's almost the same but with better voice utilities and vst/dx support.
Take this in consideration, everybody has a pc of somekind meaning anyone by now can be a producer, but are in most cases not as eager/proactive to learn than someone who bought and spend money on, let say, a mpc. I also think the mpc user will advance his knowledge on all aspects od audio/midi in a much shorter timespan, because he pretty much depends on hardware and it's capabilities cuz it's the only way to get the best out of your studio. Most Reason users see the program as all you need in your setup, to which I believe is a mistaken given fact. If you dont want to spend some serious money you wont grow the knowledge. Logicaly because all the pc user at first are under the impression that you can get result fast the cheap way...Most experienced user by now know it takes more to it, the sooner you realise that the better.
I mean, a 9978628235 other products can't all be wrong and the more money you spend on a product the better it is, that's the rule. Take them Focusrite Red series, nobody can or will explain what they do. The user/owner just doesn't care simply because anything fed though the red series just sounds really, really good.
Really......
