Why do so many people........

[audioinjection]

bad mouth Fruity Loops?? I'm curious to why that is, because FL is the shit now, better than Reason imho

[xfive]

It's gotta be the name..... :lol:

[Komplex]

it IS the name.

but people tend to bad mouth things that are easy to use and allow the same result as something else to be acomplished in less time :)

[dan the acid man]

ive always prefered it to reason, i cant way to play around with the new one

[AcidTrash]

People bad mouth it because unlike some programmes it doesn't take years of study to get results. people resent newbies making stuff of similar quaity to them with only a few weeks of effort. Fruity studio is comprehensive and intuitive and makes most hardware obsolete. That's gonna piss a fair few people off. Long live Fruity loops.

I think to get professional results, unless you are using other peoples samples, you will still need to acquire some "technical wizardry"

Fruity all the way!

ive never seen or used FL. correct me if im wrong but it follows the same lines that Acid does right? a loop sequencer. does it have vst and vsti capabilities? midi sequencing? i dont really know much about it so this is all guess work. as far as im concerned if it DOES make it easier to make a professional sounding piece just like the big boys then this raises the bar now doesnt it?
i challenge anyone who is complaining to work harder. if its this easy for a relative newb to create good music then everyone else is going to have to try harder. push the envelope and really come up with some new ideas. this could be the best thing for loop based music yet! or maybe i dont know what im talking about

Yes, and i like the thought of doing that, too.

yeah, there's vst/vsti support and a lot of other stuff. low price. quality ;)

[eyes without a face]

its gotta be the name and its GUI i think, but look beyond that and boy its one kick ass program

altho u do need more than a few weeks on it to get releasable results i think

[professor]

I would have bought a copy long ago, but it was only a PC app.
Has that changed? I used Reason2 because it was/is cross-format.

[DJZeMigL]

With knodledge u can do the dogs bollo*ks with it.. it's got all, midi, vsti,dxi plug ins, automation..(audio) .. I haven't explored the audio tracks that much, I prefer 2 do it all in realtime (sample7 efx/ eq/ dinamics) so I don't C much point in bouncing (until yer CPU starts 2 die)...

My complains are more towards the "crappy mixer" (not much headroom) and the short faders/ panning controls... but I guess U can always rewire 2 cubase!

Fruity is realy a thing that i miss on my mac

[xfive]

Do you Fruity guys use the builtin compressor plug or third party?

I couldn't get the sound I wanted with the builtin one.
Live's builtin comp gives me some nice results tho.

[eyes without a face]

i use both the one that comes with it and various other compressors

I still don't think you need technical wizardry. You just need techno knowhow and that's something having decks will teach you more than any software.

thats quite naive, of course you need some technical wizardy. The tracks still need mastering before cutting, and also, decks and djing is a totally different ball game

same here

[audioinjection]

i use waves stuff, along w/ my universal audio dsp card ;)
