DAW

I really wish someone would port logic to windows
like you don't even understand

[Ohaider]

That makes two of us manee

[Jonlovesddr]

Like my brother ha logic pro 9 on his macbook and it's what i grew up on and i love it so much

[Calcium Deposit]

I'm curious if anyone else threw down cash for their DAW like I did mine.

Not gonna judge if you acquired it through elicit means though, music software pricing is usually really really really insane

[Jonlovesddr]

my brother paid for the academic version of logic

[Ohaider]

Academic versions aren't bad, Logic Pro X is fucking ridiculous for 200 bucks, great deal compared to others

I haven't done that, I don't get why people would do that (using Reason racks(?) in FL Studio, for example?)?

Anywho, FL Studio. It just seems to be the easiest DAW to start with.

I got this crazy deal during the holiday sale. Basically it was 50% off because of christmas, and then Dew gave me a 50% off coupon he got when he bought it.

So yeah. FL on the cheap.

FL Studio and Komplete 7 and Razor are really the only things I've purchased. I don't use much else anyway.

I gave up learning FL studio after 2 weeks

-shrugs- 2 weeks isn't enough time to learn anything. Logic is fine though, good music can be made in any reputable DAW

Long ago paid an arm and leg for Reason 2.5, which is the software I was first introduced to (well, Reason 2.0) back in high school. Let's say that I have yet to understand the back-side rack feature where you can wire digital hardware to manipulate your sounds...

[SpoOkyMagician]

FL Studios of course. If only I could make good music/have the patience to... :\

What exactly can and can't you do with the trial version of FL? I downloaded it and it seems like there's a lot of stuff that comes with it.

[SpoOkyMagician]

Not too much AFAIK. (that's useful) One thing is that in the demo, you cannot save your project but you can render it. If you close your project/lose power (like I have once) you will lose all the current work on that song. (which really sucks.)

As for misc things, I do know you can't use any type of input device. (or so says the help docs. Unless you buy it of course...) I also believe extra plugins such as "hardcore?" I forget the name exactly. It doesn't work fully for a song. It disables itself every minute? Otherwise, I guess just extra content?

I thought the demo FL Studio allows you to save your project but not load it. I guess it's changed.

Other than that, I think the rest is pretty much the same as if you were to get the full version.

I don't know about demo plugins (I don't remember how demo Sytrus limits itself), but I don't think I've heard of anyone that uses Hardcore...

maybe FL makes me want to bang my head against a wall because i learned logic and ableton first and well FL is way different
neither of those took more than a week to get started and after 2 in FL nothing was working and i wanted to eat 7 bananas

I wouldn't say you're wrong. Ableton confuses me a lot and I kinda gave up on it after, like, a few days (I'm pretty impatient).

But different DAWs, different workspaces. Some takes more time to learn than the others.

[SpoOkyMagician]

My bad, your right. I am thinking of the older version. In the newer one's you can save but not reload. However, in the older versions, you could not save.

As for the hardcore thing, it's part of the mixer my bad. It makes songs really loud/deep/hardcorish sounding.

Yeah, I don't use FLS that much...
