FL Studio (Fruity Loops) alternatives.[views:3754][posts:17]____________________________________________________ [Dec 15,2007 5:51pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] I know dick about this shit but my brother asked me what would be better. He's been making a lot of stuff with FL Studio and wants to move on to bigger and better things. Can any of you music nerds recommend any software? |

FL can pretty much do anything you want, but it gets a little tricky when trying to do fills and things of that nature because it has a graphic clef as opposed to actual notation. the possibilities are still there though as long as you can finagle a way to make it work |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 15,2007 7:22pm - the_reverend ""] it's hard to beat FL. going from FL to REASON 1.0 was a wicked step backwards for me. I heard that they fixed a lot of the issues in REASON 2.0, but I never tried it. |

| _________________________________ [Dec 15,2007 8:37pm - shamash ""] Fuck you all, Tracktion 3 |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 15,2007 9:19pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] Making FL do triplets made me want to blow my brains out, I can tell you that much. I'm imagining the versions they have out now can do it a little more intuitively, though. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 15,2007 9:33pm - sxealex ""] tracktion 3 is out?!?!?! noway! i need to upgrade that shit |
| _________________________________ [Dec 15,2007 9:43pm - sxealex ""] wtf its a 200 dollar upgrade?!?!? |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 16,2007 1:36am - Mike_Giallo ""] I have a downloaded version of FL, I need to get a key gen or something so I can get the full version. I use it a lot. |

| __________________________________ [Dec 16,2007 2:46am - Aegathis ""] so whats the best out of all the ones listed thus far? Ive only use Fruity Loops |
| _________________________________ [Dec 16,2007 8:32am - shamash ""] I got the tracktion 3 project bundle for 100 dollars, that must be the other version for 200. |

I'm imagining the versions they have out now can do it a little more intuitively, though. once you get the hang of it it's easy. i did a song in FL the other day with triplets and it took me a while to size everything up right but once i did it went really fast |

(there are cool extras you can buy, like Operator but that's more money) I'm recording the new Hekseri demo on Logic Pro 7 (mac only) with drum machines from Reason 4. *picks own nose* |
