Fruity Loops?

[senate7377]

well... yeah and that too... since I have more in teh way of hardware, some of those things I dont use, but the list aperson popped up for his software base - great stuff too. Make sure you got a good soundcard too... I've got a E-MU 1820, but started with a Audigy ZS2...but worry about that after you get the process down... baby steps lead to a sprint finish... (if you understand that)..but like we say, do waht you're comfy with, jsut don't fall in the "overly synthasized" sound trap. You'll find there is a difference between full, rich and analog, and hollow, "tinny" and synthetic

Fruityloops is just as powerful as any other piece of music production software, it leaves Reason in the dust when it comes to expanability!

It is good for beginners, but thats just where it starts...

Mike Oldfield - User of Fruityloops...He created tubular bells, one of the most famous electronicly sequenced tunes of all time...He started in the 70's...he's not a beginner..

Octagen - Popular Trance producer..swears by Fruity loops 3.56..not a beginner either

The only reason for not using FL Studio as opposed to Logic or Cubase SX is only that Logic and Cubase have much better hardware support features...Fruityloops is not inferior in any other way..with VSTi's you can make the same tunes as anyone else...

This is what It can do..

Oh, and for the guy who made this topic: read the help files included with FL. 99% of people who get FL that I know always ask "How do I make the song longer than just 2 seconds!?" If you still ask that question, at least read some of the help files. They're there for a reason.

I dunno Im an avid FL user even if im not too good with it... And im 15 and Most of my songs were seriously made. (with the exception of the racist chronicles and boom day <_<, not that anyone knows who I am) And you can make your own loops, not just a bunch of preset stuff and thats why I like it. So im wondering what other good programs there are that let you create your own loops. like the piano roll and stuff. Cuz I looked at garage band and sound studio pro for like 10 minutes each and all I could deduct was that all you get are the preset loops. despite the fact that sound studio pro has like 23184230948203958203945 of them. And its really obvious when a pattern will loop. Unlike in FL where I usually cant tell. So basically im asking if theres any good "create your own loop" song making stuff that people consider much better than FL.

If i made any sense at all. cuz usually people just flame me and call me an idiot when i try to post honest questions like this.

I can see that a lot of people consider FL Studio to be a system for beginners and I can see why. It's a lot easer to use than most of the other programs of this type. I don't think this means that it isn't as good as the more complex programs however. If you spend enough time with it you can make things that sound really professional. I would definitely recommend it, for both experts and beginners.

FL is only as good as it's user... simply said. Goes for every other sequencer.

Well after reading every post in this topic, feddling around with FL in all my spare time and as well as many helpful tutorials I made 3 songs with some who goes by the name of Chaos Catman. The songs on are streamload.com and you would have to sign up for him to send them to you, since he has all his music on there and the 3 songs we worked togerther on. If you wanna hear just pop me a PM and I will be sure to tell him to send them over.
