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.

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)

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.

[slimshdy425]

Timbaland probably uses those overpriced 'professional' recording studios, but I agree, most pros probably use several pieces of software and hardware in their work.

Where is Square Bear when you need him?

[Naeguro]

Squarebear had some hot stuff. Most amazing thing was that he uses ts404 to make those phat trance leads.

Toby Emerson is quite awesome- Try and find Saxion7, or Saxxonpike's (They're both the same guy) remix of Sleepless (It's happyhardcoreremix- er.. something like that, it's also done in FL, and it's awesome.
