Just got a mac-suggestions for cool sites/programs?

[XZit]

Whatsup guys?
I got a mac labtop for graduation from the family.
I really want to get involved in Software production.
I'm more interested in programs I can make songs on--reason related for example.
However I do like my vsts.

Ok I dunno if this is the right forum to post this in...
but I'm pretty new with the mac when it comes to music production.
I have a few questions:
Does anyone have any suggestions for programs I should go check out?
So any software recommendations?
Cool site recommendations?
File Sharing programs for macs? Torrent sites (sorry if its wrong to ask that...lol)
Games?

Once again I apologize if its the wrong forum to ask these questions in.


Thanks for replys!

Btw...I don't have a program to run vsts in (yet) is there a free program that I can download to run vsts in?
In the future I plan on getting abelton live.

What's with people saying labtop? Some kind of strange lisp?
