Death Grips use Ableton Live 8


9th Winder used to use FL Studio, but now he uses Pro Tools.

Any info on other producers? Avoid producers that use Pro Tools

Wait, so I have a computer barely capable of running FL studio but I can run all those other DaWS perfectly, not to mention photoshop cs5?

*****, did even you read what I said? I said its heavy on the CPU, I didn't say my computer's gonna catch on fire.

The synths that come with it are ehhh, they don't give you much in terms of editing the paramaters when you're coming up with a synth or tweaking em. And like I've been saying, the mixing plugins are bad. The Parametric EQ 2's pretty good, but the rest are cheap to me.

And I've used it for over a year, so I think I've used it enough to know how it works and to say I'm not a hater.

I'm saying there are better programs, and I listed the reasons. Stop catchin feelings. Its like people take it personal anytime someone doesn't like FL Studio.
im not catching feelings cause you dont like FL. its the fact that you called it beginner software that ticked me off. who cares if its heavy on the CPU if you can handle? i dont make my own synths so i can argue there. so dont use the stock synths lol use a vst. the mixing works for me, i know how reason is said to be the king of mixing but like i said for what I use it for, FL works for me. its perfect for software dependent production, once i can afford a real studio, i'll switch over to actual hardware sound. my friend has like 9 shelves of keyboards the sounds are so fresh and quality. damn.

what? lol most of the sound fonts i have eclipse the quality of the sounds ive found in sound kits... like its not even comparable. most of them match the vsts.

anyway i know a few ppl who started on reason (and still use it occasionally) but made the switch over to FL strictly for the plugins... theres no argument, theres no opinion here. FL has the better plugins, period.

personally, ive tried out reason, acid pro (acid pro didnt last long, shit was confusing as fuck) and FL, and fruity loops is by far my favorite. not only for the depth, but the simplicity of it.
Soundfounts having sounds as good as Vst's ? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, its not even close bro. You care to show me any decently sounding instrumental soundfont that comes close to a top level VST? I'd have to hear it or try it, because given what I know about instruments and how hard and expensive it is to sample those things, I doubt you can find a soundfont that's of equal quality for free. Its like a 1/10,000 chance tbh. They'd be retarded to give it away for free.

And the combinator? What can you do in FL studio that even rivals that? I mean the instrument sounds are miles ahead of FL studio. The only thing you can try to compare is the synth generator on both of them, but even then, Reason still gives you more options.

I mean, reasons' weak for recording, because the interface is weird, but if you rewire it with something else, it becomes a powerful synth. Thats what I use it for tbh. But dawg, use whatever's best for you. That's whats gonna work for you.

All of those beats except for one were made within the first 4 months of producing, so I ain't even mad though.

good to know lol u should probly update it.

Prince Al said:
How many tracks do you mix down on a song? How many virtual instruments you running through that thing? It depends on what you do on it. If you only do drums and samples, of course its gonna run smoothly.

And FL studio definitely doesn't have the best plugins. Neither in mixing or in sound. Reasons sounds are >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'm not even hating on FL Studio, its an easy to use program and give beginners alot of options for beginning, but there are some other things programs do alot better, so I think if you past the beginner point, you should look towards other options
If this was an essay, then I'd hate to see you have to read shakespeare, lol

why bother? your responses are more emotion filled than anything he could write. :he:

Nah, I'm working on a big project. One with all of those instruments I was talking about. I'm more of a musician rather than a producer, so its like all of those other instruments aren't my strongpoint. My drums were weak, except only like one on there. I really only like 3 songs on there anyways.

But the whole idea is to record real instruments so I can get a more organic feel. That way, I can stick to composition, and working on arrangement and harmonies rather than focusing on doing it all on the computer.

tbh tho, this is exactly why i havent been fucking around with any 'producer' software... i find it very monotonous, meanwhile playing a real instrument is fun as fuck.
