Oh God I hope I don't get banned for this

Too late, you've been banned.

I love FL. I started using it on version 3 or 2.3 i think. It's definitely grown a lot. I used it for years before switching to logic, but I like to go back to FL sometimes, it's more fun to use and really not that limited.

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.

this is pretty much where i'm at. i downloaded version 2 from a really dodgy russian warez site back in the days of dialup and ended up buying it when version 3 came out. i mostly use ableton but when i just feel like screwing around i'll use flstudio because it's just so ingrained into my brain from years upon years of using it.

also i mean i paid $150 eight years ago and i still get the latest updates for free. what's not to like about that? the only thing i don't get is their 'premium' built in synths but those really kind of blow either way, so whatever.

Well he DID for certain. Not sure if he still does. I still use it too. I think it's fucking brilliant. Especially the Sytrus. I've been thrashing that for basslines lately

Speaking about Wisp by the way. Sorry just woke up and haven't had a coffee yet

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^~

see?? there's a good example of extreme awesomeness using fruity loops

i meant, !odd!

like in, orange dust

friend of mine is using fruity loops to make darkpsy... shit is intimidating once he opens one of his projects, but I never did anything serious in fl

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.

 

it's not free at all. never has been! you get free updates to it, so you pay one time for it then receive every update to it they ever release in the future, which i think is pretty fucking nice of them! they could repackage it and resell it every few years if they wanted to! but instead you get an update every year or so. i've been using it on and off since 1999/2000, and it's come a long, LONG way since then! it's not my main sequencer/DAW of choice now, but it's still bloody good for the price, considering what you can do with it now! and a great thing for people to start out on, imo, as it's fairly quick and easy to build tracks. i don't think it deserve all the hate anymore. but they really should think about changing its name! i think that's half the problem, it's got a shit name.

I used to make everything in FL, but my PC died like four years ago, so I switched to Logic since I had a mac and could get it for cheap.

yeah, only reason I don't use it still is because I have switched to mac.
