transitioned from FL to Ableton
WOW!!! theres a big difference any body got a good website or video for me to watch so ik what im doing on ableton.

Re: transitioned from FL to Ableton
I would recommend learning the shortcuts and how to navigate the program first, i recently switched to ableton and i found concentrating on the ''boring'' stuff first pays off.

Re: transitioned from FL to Ableton
actually considering this now. FL not being on mac is becoming a pain.
anyone made the switch before? i'm weary because i tried to switch from FL to Logic once, absolutely hated it and ended up going back on FL. have a feeling the same shit will happen again although Ableton looks a lot more user-friendly than Logic

Re: transitioned from FL to Ableton
i was a user of FL for 5 years, then moved one day to ableton and never looked back, its audio routing, audio editing, effects racks, and easy UI and workflow are amazing.crunkedxup wrote:actually considering this now. FL not being on mac is becoming a pain.

Re: transitioned from FL to Ableton
could anyone be more specific in your arguments for ableton? I have just demo`d ableton for a bit and I didnt find anything that would make me switch.

Yah ableton destories fl.but that being said your not gonna go anywere with fl studio.Ableton is very diffrent when i first stared i hated it now i love it and i frown deeply on fl studio and the users who thinks its a good program.

Re: transitioned from FL to Ableton
Ableton doesn't "destories" FL. Producers like XXYYXX and Pearson Sound come to mind as notable FL users. FL is a capable sequencer like any other. The only thing I would say that takes away from FL is it's native plugins are crap in comparison to say.. Logic for example, but you can just get some external VSTS so it's not a problem.CDT wrote:crunkedxup wrote:actually considering this now. FL not being on mac is becoming a pain.

It still has the best step sequencer and piano roll of any DAW on the market.
Re: transitioned from FL to Ableton
I like FL and it's native plugins and so do lots of other people

But crunkedxup, it works fine with Bootcamp, I know a few people who run it that way. Then there is an official version in testing that is made to work natively on Mac without Windows emulation, you can find out more here: http://forum.image-line.com/viewtopic.php?f=100&t=80076

Re: transitioned from FL to Ableton
FLs piano roll/midi editor is my favorite out of all of the DAWs I have tried. It just has a different flow of doing other things that I don't really like, thats the only reason I don't use it.
Re: transitioned from FL to Ableton
congrats on the switch!!! it takes a while to get used to it, but once you get the shortcuts and navigation down, it's all smooth sailing. the routing possibilities are endless and automation is really nice.

Freshest track atm.
Re: transitioned from FL to Ableton
I am mainly an ableton user, but i also have fl studio and its a great program. 90 percent of the time i use ableton, but if i get bored or want a new approach ill use fl studio.

Re: transitioned from FL to Ableton
Porter Robinson, Madeon, Avicii (yeah I know), Tristam, Basshunter (Well, at least he's succesful) and lots more use FL Studio. So saying you're 'not gonna go anywere' with it is obviously bullshit. Deadmau5 uses it occasionally as well.
That said though, Ableton is also great. But it's not like Ableton is automatically gonna let you do a bunch of stuff you couldn't do in FL. Tbh you can really do more or less everything with anything. I might make the swap just to make it easier to gig live in Ableton though.
