Guest MarloboroLite Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hello thur, first time poster, short while lurker. This is my question and I swear to God I am not trolling. Why does FL Studio seem to get the hate that it does? I've only just started to attempt to try to succeed mildly in creating music and FL Studio was the first thing I downloaded so I'm not really sure what it's like compared to some others. So far though, it seems OK. One of the only minor gripes I have with it currently is not being able to zoom in close enough to edit on the Piano Roll or the Playlist accurately. I know it's main use is for trance and hip hop and those kind of "bro" genres so what do you guys normally use when you're trying to create stuff?

Guest analogue wings Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 There's nothing wrong with FLStudio. Use whatever works for you.

chassis Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) The short answer: Reveal hidden contents The long answer: Reveal hidden contents Because its free and theres a certain sense of snobbery with it. It doesnt help that there are 5 million 14 year olds on youtube making horrible horrible generic techno with it. We even have our own resident one, Basscreator.

YEK Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 well it used to be a bit of a toy when it came out but now it's very powerful. chassis' long answer is a bit right i guess but there are talented signed artists using it. also, it's sequencer is not what you'd call conventional so some people like it and some don't Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide YEK's signature Hide all signatures Reveal hidden contents !:/music Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/62671-oh-god-i-hope-i-dont-get-banned-for-this/#findComment-1488464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 There are certain groups in the electronic production community who will automatically disregard any tool that wasn't made by a bearded, swamp-dwelling eccentric using all analog(ue) parts made before 1980.

Hautlle Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I used FL for close to 10 years until I switched to Live 2 years ago. It's a great introduction to producing and synthesis.

Fahz0r Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I've always used Fruity since version 3.0 i think. I've only mildly jumped to Ableton a couple of years ago because of the easy on the fly record capabilities that i kind of miss in FStudio. But still, at times i jump back to Fruity because Ableton's GUI just annoys me.

Guest geographyhorse Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I've always used a simple wav editor, drum machine/sampler, and synth for everything. It really doesn't matter what tools you use so long as you practice and learn to use them well. There's no contest for using the finest software/equipment that I know of, so use what works for you.
