I've used it a couple of times. Pretty useful for parallell stuff on one mixer channel

Lately, ive swapped over to using Fl studio, I dont actually know why, i just got tired of using Ableton for all my production work. I tried the FL demo before but considering i was a complete noob And all its patterns and stuff just completely fucked my brain, i gave it a miss and swapped to Ableton. got pretty proficient at using that. Although lately ive been trying FL out again, and now i have some prior knowledge, it all makes a hello of a lot more sense, ans somehow seems like it would increase my workflow.
I would deffo say FL10 is worth the money you pay for it though

It is for sure worth the money. I don't recommend it to new producers because it's "easy to use" or anything, but because it's an awesome DAW for such a low price.

I find FL Studio can do everything I need and more, I also find that one of its greatest strengths is actually its speed of workflow, it makes some things that would take a lot of fannying about in other DAWs doable in a much quicker time. Iv also found that Ableton is fucking awful to work with, its much better suited to house music IMO

Maybe not house but 4x4 music, and that consideration is found throughout the daw. Fl's beginnings too were in 4x4, but it has broadened considerably. Live was also designed on a mac so looses a lot of context sensitive hot key modifier functionality that makes fl so fast to work with. I understand that probably makes no sense to anyone other than me, but, whats new?

Totally agreed. It is apparent you don't know fl that well, which is fine, but if you tell someone that is just getting started that fl can't do something, that it can, in fact, do easily, and maybe even do better than others, there is a problem there in that you are misleading someone away from something that can be very helpful and enjoyable in their pursuit of music, and that is not cool in my book.

if you could quote where i said FL studio couldn't do something that'd be great. I said there are limited number of effects(per mix track and you have to route more tracks to get more effects = slower workflow) I also said its not as easy to work with layering as it is in live, still nothing about how FL can't do anything. And finally, how is it apparent to you that i don't know FL very well because I do.

If you can't get what you want out of 8 plugins on an FX chain; you should rethink your processing anyways.


I have took the time out learn live after many many years of Fruity and I have to say; the work flows are very similar - just the GUI is different. There isn't 'better' DAWs - I could comfortably make a track of the same quality on Famitracker or Modplug as I could on Ableton, Fruity, Logic, Cubase, Protools or Studio-One; Its not the tool its the workman.

If throwing 93482309480329 plugins on a track with ease is what you class as being better than something else then fair enough but that isn't even 1% of what a DAW is about; thus making your statement valid but irrelevant to this topic as its about the 99$ price tag a deal for a FLstudio and is it competent with its competitors because of the price. One may assume its a 'starter' software due to that price tag but when people like Ramadanman, Sully and Silkie use FL; including many of us on here and never moan that it "can't do things as well as X" it proves the point that it is a top tier software which gets a lot of flack for no reason!

I moan a bit, but YEAH!

Thats cause you're an old fart.

U r speaking truth today.

It is precisely two clicks to route one mixer to another, thereby giving you an additional 10 fx slots.

THE HORROR
