Which do you prefer- FL or Reason?

..."lolz i hit teh radnom settin gbuton and teh Buzz makes kewl sound"

That's pretty much all I can do with Buzz. I realize it's awesome potential, but I have no idea how to craft it. But I love Buzz anyways.

[Omeganitros]

...And I bet Reason 3 has an easier interface too.


But you see, Buzz still has the incredible advantage of being free for download.

[Naeguro]

Yay for interface pics.

Though it isnt an option, I vote Buzz.

although i myself am an avid FL user, a lot if not most of my samples are created in BuzzzzZzzzZzZz. ive only peeked at Reason and it had me exasperated. also, most FL tunes sounds cheaply made because of lack of compression or bad/unoriginal samples.

o yea ive never messed with FL 5, im still on 4.watever

But then again, it's free for everyone, so it doesn't sound that new or fresh anymore.

A Machine is an object in Buzz which either creates or modifies sound. A Machine is the equivalent of a single piece of gear in a traditional music studio. It may be a synthesizer, a sampler, a dsp effect, a mixing board, or any other piece of gear that exists in a studio. Every piece has the same parameters and functions you would expect to find in the studio you know and love. Whats better is that all existing machines are free. Because creating your own machines is quite simple (someone with little knowledge of C++ should find his way in the SDK), you'll also find machines in Buzz which aren't really common in studio's. This makes Buzz a very innovative software studio.

im really glad that you advocate Buzz as much as you do jewpin. i only looked into it after i saw a thread about it.

FL can suck my cock.

Right when you hear the song, you KNOW it's a cheaply made FL production.

FL can sound just as good as other more 'pro' sequencers like Cubase, sonar, DP4, Logic, etc. Its a vst and dx host. Just depends on what instruments and plugins you use. Most of the time the FL stuff you hear is shitty because the plugins that come (or came....i'm not up to speed on what is offered now...but the old ones sucked) with it suck balls. PLUS its pirated by a bunch of retarded 14 year olds making their first ever music production, so they just suck also.

[slimshdy425]

That was a horrible song.

O_O

Anyway, FL's plugins are ok if you use them right. VST's do help a lot though.

Jihnsius's new demo album..All made in FL..now please tell me that all of the music on that album sounds like shit. Else, confess to the fact the FL has the potential to make GREAT music.

Thank you (and Jihnsius..hope you don't mind me releasing this I didn't think you would..thx)

Toby is the best in FL. I wasn't sure he used FL for all his songs until I saw the song "Maybe" come w/ FL5. (The lyrics are really monotanious in that song.) But it doesn't sound completely MIDIish like a lot of FL songs do.

Best Toby songs:

Somnifer
Phantoms
Liquify
Mine
Sleepless
Descent
Angel
Drifter
Elektropolis
Never Again (AWESOME SONG) - http://www.ampcast.com/LST-40030-mus...ever_Again.m3u
Phantasy (Sounds so realisticly realistic)

Quit posting .m3u links, they all come up with "Invalid Timestamp".

Hilarious. That's how I got started.

[Naeguro]

I've heard timbaland uses it
I saw a pic of tommy lee jones with fl on his comp at home.

Thats all i can really think of right off the top of my head.

[Naeguro]

Of course not.
I cannot think of one professional artist that uses only one program or piece of hardware.
