Aw, come on, making backings is half the fun.

I use Fruity Loops for all my drum sequencing, and half the time, when I don't pull up a backing track I've already recorded, I'll use it as a practice tool, as well - do a simple trance drum beat and then sketch out some chord changes with one of the synth pads - the orchestra pad owns, IMO.

When I get a new computer and get online again, I'll gradly toss you a few of my backings, simply for the fuck of it, but learning how to record your own is a pretty valuable experience, IMO, and fruityLoops and a cheap bass will get you there and teach you a lot about arranging.
