My DAW is better than yours! (Friendly DAW Wars debate)

[Depone]

I've just had a look at the page source for you Mat.

There is one closing tag missing in the header, just at the end of the body style.

The following code:

Code: Select all

body  { 
  background-image:url("http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/8289/backgroundx.jpg"); 
 background-position:Center Center; 
 background-attachment:fixed; 
 border-width:0px; 
 border-style:solid; 
 } 

should be:

Code: Select all

body  { 
  background-image:url("http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/8289/backgroundx.jpg"); 
 background-position:Center Center; 
 background-attachment:fixed; 
 border-width:0px; 
 border-style:solid; 
 }

</style> 

Should sort out the random stuff in the screenshot I sent you.

Cheers mate, will investigate... thing is, its fine on safari, firefox and chrome, but somehow you see it :/

Some nice points about software development Sunklo, but there is a spelling error on the first line, second paragraph making your arguement invalid... Call yourself a novelist do you???!

-----------------

On firefox 3.6.6 here.

Safari, Chrome, IE and Opera are all displaying it fine.

As mentioned, I'm sure it is just a matter of inserting the closing tag.


Copy and paste the whole page code into a HTML validator like http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input+with_options or a CSS one like http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/#val ... th_options

That will list any issues line by line and often also give you ideas on resolving them.

An nice one! I basically did some dreamweaver lessons for a uni project before. But decided i would knock this up myself, with all my html knowledge coming from 'pimping' my myspace. Lawl!

Can you try now, and see if its fixed?

[futures_untold]

PM'd

But yeah, Myspece pimpin' is a great way to enter the world of web coding.

That's exactly how I started too!

What are you two nutters on about?
This thread is for whiny bickering. Please keep out all this logical nonsense you've been posting about.

[futures_untold]

We're talking about Depone's website which on my web browser is rendering part of the sitestyle on the actual page when it shouldn't...

EDIT: Cubase really winds me up for being soo shite. 'H' & 'J' for zoom controls, common man, what's wrong with the mouse scrollwheel? And looking at FL Studio is like facerape.

[SunkLo]

yeah I'm getting this bit at the top:

Code: Select all

} a:link { color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF; } a:hover { text-decoration: none; color: #CC0000; } a:active { text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF; } .style5 { font-size: 36px } .style6 {font-size: 18px} -->

Firefox, Ubuntu Lucid Lynx x64 btw

And looking at FL Studio is like facerape.

hahah.... true, unless you download a skin or design one, which then makes it much much much better!

ive tried out afew DAWS to date, started out on ableton for afew months, but i didnt 'click' with it, tried reason, but really disliked the interface. FL is the only one ive 'clicked' with, so to say.

Yea FL's default skin is a bit "blah". At least the color choices anyway. I personally like the interface....but then again I've been using it long enough to where i'm just familiar with it so it doesn't bother me. There are some great skins out there though to make it look nicer. Unless you know how to make your own in which case you can customize it to your own tastes. I have no idea how to skin it so I just use skins I find online.

It would be great if they made FL more customizable like Reaper. From what I've read though IL has no plans as of yet to allow any UI customization aside from color and button icons. As a matter of fact I think they are actually against it completely which I don't really understand. I think it would make it a much more desirable program if people had the ability to make it act more to their specifications, particularly those wanting to move from one DAW to another.

Something like this would be interesting: http://cusis.deviantart.com/art/FL-Stud ... -106501568

I probably wouldn't go with that particular design but if it was possible to customize FL in this way it would be pretty nice.

Also, for you FL users out there. If you like FL but would like to try something more customizable, try out LMMS. It's basically a program that was created to emulate FL on Linux but has been ported to windows as well. Allows for the full customization like in the picture above. Only problem is it's not entirely like FL so there's still a bit of learning when it comes to certain things.

[collige]

Everything else sucks because it is too expensive, looks like shit and never gets updated with user feature requests haha.

Except renoise.

[meer]

The sqeetz 'MPC' skin is kind of nice, though a bit cheesy.

FL's dark interface has advantages and disadvantages. I remember opening up Ableton Live (with the default colors) at 4 AM one night and my eyes got lazer'd out. But if I take my laptop outside and try to run FL, I always have to adjust the screen's brightness n stuff.

So I guess it depends on whether you're an insomniac cigarette or a hippie cigarette.

FPC is amazing.

[SunkLo]

lol sig'd

[nowaysj]

There was a period in time when fl's darkness really got under my skin. Just so metallic and drab. But I lightened the playlist page, and put the robot in the background and all is good.

Re that dancing girl. I don't think anybody was saying the dancing girl is professional. It is a joke. The dev's play around over there. They named their gating/chopping plugin big penis for christ's sake (Gross Beat).

Re sunklo's valiant defense of reaper. True customizable, but can't customize a hot key to do that convoluted shit just to use a mulitout vst.

Make some awesome music, then we can talk

Agreed, you make some awesome music, then we can talk

Put me down for insomniac cigarette. Straight lazered my eyes out too. I think there is a color scheme there that is far more muted though. Also a brighter one, if that is even possible.

If you like fpc, but have 5o bucks to burn, check out Poise. It's like the fpc with some added nice features, most notably for me, individual adsr's per sample in a layered pad, rather than fpc's one envelope per pad.

[meer]

I remember going through the color schemes looking in vain for a metallic cool-grey one

Poise looks pretty cool. Buuuut only 8 samples per pad is a deal breaker for me.
I'm optimistic that they'll add some updates to FPC soooomeday.

Gosh, my FPC folder has almost a gig of samples in it.

You can get around that by linking cells together. You could layer 8 snares in the first pad and another 8 in the second and another 8 in the third etc, and trigger them all from just one pad.

Who uses more than 8 samples in a layer anyway??

[SunkLo]

Gangsters, that's who.
