hey all i am not to sure in what direction to go in...

i have been using ableton to sequence my stuff... rewired with reason and record any auido directly but i have been in 2 minds.

would fruity loops be a better option? is it fairly easy to use etc.

can you rewire with reason using fruity loops?

i have heard that fruity loops has better effect and stuff like that... any help would be appreciated

Download the demo version of FL and try it, it has a very "own" approach, so it might not feel right for you.

The name thing is a disaster indeed...
Sounds like something that kids throw in their milk in the morning.
The company making FL is called "Image-Line", another boring and inspiration-free name. I like FL though.

Haha! Big Grin That's probably closer to the truth than most people realise cos Kelloggs have something called Froot Loops.

Agreed. The name Image-Line is complete wankness. Puke

I used to use Fruity Loops. It was the first sequencer I used. I ended up going over to Reason, basically because I paid for reason and it gave me more determination to learn it.

Yesterday, I had a go on FL8. It is so quick to get a tune together with. The sound is good, depending on your samples obviously... I have tried Cubase and various other programs, but Fruity I think is the most user friendly. As mentioned above, the name lets it down.

I have just tried doing a remix using FL8 and Reason rewired. They work well together. Just need to make some banging tunes now Big Grin

fruity loops is only good for making or creating loops... the rewire application sucks, but for loop creation its great... then import and resequence those loops in either acid, logic, cubase, and i suppose you could do it with ableton im not sure...

i made these tunes using fl, so im diggin it... fuck anyone who says down with fl lol

not under-rating... the sequencer sucks and if you use too many effects for processing the cpu gets eaten up and just overal isnt a good render.. plus its only 16bit where as acid and everything else is 24 or higher... giving you more headroom for louder mixes

sequencer some find better then reason or cubase

cpu gets eaten up on any fucking platform, but most of the effects and synths in the fl studio don't use much cpu at all and are opotomized nicly

it gives you choics for rendering AND gives other choices like to acidize as part of the rendering

and in blind test is usually said to be better then reason

and it does 32 point float .24 or the adobe audition one 16.8, (why anyone would use that when yuo have the 24 bit? i dunno but the choic is fucking there).

so i just want to clarify, we are talkinga bout the FL studio and what is higher then the 24 bit? you said some do higher, as far as i knew it was 16 bit or 24 bit as a 32 bit point float. :/

I do everything in FL Studio (except, ok, orchestral instruments and stuff for which I use VSTs) and I think I don't sound bad at all.
