This is completely subjective and not a valid argument, for example I don't like cubase's interface but that doesn't mean cubase is shit.

I don't understand this, when I render a song or loop I can render up to 32 bit.
Or do you mean the real time playback of samples? If so you simply change the interpolation settings, make they higher.
Again I would say this is subjective and depends entirely on your computer, I have vstis that use more cpu than flstudio does.
As far as I can tell the main reason people don't like flstudio is simply down to snobbery, they just don't like the fact that a program that cost a quarter the price of their "professional" daw can do almost everything that it can, and sometimes more. |
yea it uses 32 point float, i mena you can use 16 bit, or 32 bit both standard and cool pro/adobe audition 32 bit format. 192000Hz actaully. with several types of interpolation. somethin reason doesn't give a choice for.
everything eat's cpu up. hell running Explorer in the background eat's up cpu. that's not a reason it's bad, infack the plug0in's it comes with are fairly cpu free, but now they have included high quality ones that do eat up a lot, but there just as a choie tot he lo quality ones.
so i have used every program out there, and the onyl thing that i would switch over for, is logic, and een then that's just because of ti's interface with the mac os, it's ablity to hook up to hardwarre easily, and the fact that you can do some crazy time strech things with it on the fly, including wav to midi and auto-tune pitch of recorded wav files.
it's arguably one of the best programs, just pro tools is a more stable sound recorder, but lorigcis quite good at recording small snippits.
FL is obviously popular with artist on here like Nick and many others because of it's easy of composing and powerful sound. you want a sample to to hi once, you drag drop done. cubase, you have to dedicate a whole channel for it. reason a whole plugin and a mixer slot.
that ist eh appeal of FL, easy of sample use, and DnB i don't know if you realize but is pretty intensive with sample use.
i am done arguing, if you've gotten the experince with as much musical equipment as me you'd understand, but i mean there's no program better or worse, except Logic. everything else has its ups and downs in comparison with ANYOTHER PROGRAM.
they wouldn't be in business if there wasn't something they offered that no one else does.

I personally consider FL Studio to be a legitimate sequencer that is slowly gaining professional tools and plugins in its becoming of a all-in-one audio software studio. FL Studio 4 was the first version I used, and it was nothing special in comparison to the newest one, the 7. A lot of things were added these years that make it a really capable software studio. I really don't believe that anything that can be done on other programs can't be done on FL Studio!

Yeah true but they won't be using Logic nor Cubase either, in recording studios it is Protools all the way, with some using Nuendo.
But that is not the goal of FL, it is not designed for recording and mixing, it is a fun composition tool for electronic music. It might not be top of the line but it surely gets the job done.
Take Protools, it is arguably the best quality software in existence but it simply is not well suited for composing dnb, in that regard FL is far superior. |
not a word wrong bro

the right answer is on what program you got used to,
i used FL 3.5, THEN 4.2, THEN 5
and that is the platform im doing stuff on since i know myself as some tunemaker
i tried reason and made some awful things in it (so i stopped to worry myself)
the point is that my friend works everything on reason for a long time
and have same mirror expirence about fruity loops...
its all about how long and how hard you learn everything on the music platform youre on...

Why, yes, yes it does.
I have used it for about 3 years and it has met up to all my needs. Not entirely VST wise though. It can be just as powerful as any other program, you just have to know how to use it right. I mean the FL6-7 versions kicks ass. The Multiband Compresser, EQUO, Fruity Parametric EQ2, Wasp XT, Edison, ect.
I personally belive that you can get a professional sound out of it, although some would disagree. Fruity Loops is stepping it on up.

Totally agree. I've been using it for 6 years now. I tried reason, cubase and some other programs, but either they don't have the required flow of work or I didn't got deep in them...
in either way, I believe FLSTudio is becoming one of the best sequencers/DAW studios in the industry, and also is becoming one of the industry standards as many many people now start using it... and also it has a great price, some really good synths (Sytrus for example)... dunno, I guess we all shall see what will happen...

many quality tunes made by many established producers came out of fruity loops, so you can't deny it's quality.
I myself don't ever use it but I do respect it in a way I respect a good solid shovel.

He was designing the synths. Argu(ru). I guess they can find someone else to make some additive synths programming
but RIP for him. I can't even image how his fiancee feels like.
