No joke tried making a beat in audacity, didnt turn out well, really got frustrated with the effects and having to print everything every time you wanted to use an effect.
Hey man, sorry to drag up old shit but I was wondering where you ended up with your DAW? Im interested to hear comments from people converting to FL. I grew up with the fruits and recently tried Cubase but found it âclunkyâ for lack of a better word, it seemed to stand in the way of what I wanted to do.
Ive still to give Ableton the proper college try, interested in the performance aspect of but FL is catching up in that area too sooâŚ
BTW, where did you find that photo of me for your profile picâŚ
What do you think of FL12 now it been out for a bit? Personally I love most if not all the improvements, especially the mixer & 4K monitor support.
They still have that damn limiter with +5dB on the master by default though, as dumb as a Bass Boost button.

As far as I am aware, FL is the only DAW that supports note slides in the piano roll. No programming a macro and automating pitch. Its a shame it only works with native FL plugs for technical reasons. I wish they would update the vst spec to include this.
When FL finally takes over it may come true.

ended up sticking with cubase, learnt a few more keyboard shortcuts and itâs less clunky again
so youâre a dutch heroin addict?
You was right.
I have been using FL studio for 4 years. Just downloaded 12 this morning. I record instruments and vocals into it and use FabFilterâs plugins for mastering, Amplitube for guitar. Zero complaints. Maybe Iâll try ableton since itâs so popular. One day.
this polls pretty interesting. most producers I meet dont rate ableton yet its the most popular here.
back in secondary school we used to have cubase on the music PCs. proper shitty sound library, but back then me and my mates just used to make bassline tracks with super shit basses and an over abundance of gun shot noises haha.
then I got reason at home, I couldnât understand it one bit. Allowed producing for a while, then started using FL about 4 years ago.
I love FLs step sequencer and piano roll but I didnât fully enjoy making music till about 2 years ago when I jumped on the ableton hype.

Funny how none uses pro tools.
Not really its way expensive to get a decent pro tools set up.
Iâm still surprised seeing as how itâs a recording studio standard world round.
It took them years to get their MIDI working properly, I donât even know if it still even works very well.
But for recording, yeah it has been standard for a long time but it does take a lot of money to get a proper Pro Tools rig going.
The sequencing and midi is pretty crappy still hah

yeah protools is used more by traditional bands with instruments/vocals rather than electronic music

Started in the late 90âs on Cool Edit Pro. Eventually moved on to Fruity Loops in itâs early days when it was still kind of crappy, which led me on to Cubase. Finally I ended up with Logic Pro, which is as good as it gets, like many others. Logic, Pro Tools, Reason, Reaper⌠lots of them will get the job done with no limitations.
Thatâs like saying get more actual stuff for ur money with reason. No matter how it looks
