Just curious if any Fruity Loops users exist that also know how to play a musical instrument (and no a turntable doesn't count - or at least I've never heard of a beatmatching/scratching school). Every time I've tried the latest version of FL it feels like a toy, but I know lots of people like it. I do have one friend that uses it to generate little beats to import into Nuendo but that's about the only musician (as in, someone that can play at least one instrument) I know that uses FL.

Just curious what peoples' use for FL is because I can't imagine writing a whole song in it unless its for a video game.

You have some kind of masochistic desire to be flamed to a crisp, don't you?

i don't understand the difference between making beats with FL and making beats with an sp-303 or mpc. its basically exactly the same. i play keys and guitar and i prefer FL over reason for making beats. if you got skills it doesnt matter what sampler you use. the important part is the sounds and samples that you use.

With over 100,000 users, what do you think?

IF you want to record *real* instrument playing, FLS is not the best way to go. Most I know use it to accompany their live playing. It is what it is -- a tool. You can use it for what it does or not -- like most VST hosts.

Why don't you try listening to lots of music here by those who use it? Like this one -- everything you hear in this song except the vocals was done in FLS.

FLS song

I play drums, keys, trombone, percussion. Jew's harp, anyone?

I write DnB, chiptunes, Hip Hop, Ambient, and trance in FL Studio. it's a very good songwriting and production tool. It's what you put into it.

I smack my qwerty keyboard with my cock to produce blissful tones that Beethoven is jealous of - he keeps interfering in my wet dreams.

I'll be getting to a good bit where I'm just about to splooge my ooze (in a fashion not so disimilar to the splooge in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze) and he'll pop up out of my astral jap's eye and scream at -104db (but its really loud in those astral corridors!) "oooiii!! I Am teh Jelooze of teh cocksmactch muuuzzzz!" in that slightly odd pretentious accent that ALL Germans have (see Arke)

Once he's finished screaming at me, he cuts his own throat and out from the gaping gash pours not five but SIX mermaids, and they all stroke my member whilst whistling Beethovens' 5th... needless to say Luddy isn't too happy about this.

I wake up at that point, covered in semen with the windows open and a lone figure running down the street, hooded top so I can't see their face... wonder what they were doing.

the betas feature a nice new toolbar button that when clicked run the 'record audio now' one-shot macro. it's a small feature but it's a nice one

fl can record with the best of em...but yea it's not it's strong point. though i think the betas are much stronger -- edison rules.

what fl lacks for audio and performance recording is stuff like punch-in/out recording, loop recording with takes, etc. that's it though, it can do everything else.

i find a good balance to use t2 for audio tracking and insert fl as a vsti..

the beta looks promising, my last song (Aint got much to say) I wrote in FL, recorded the guitar using a mixdown for reference in AA. I then imported the guitar back to FL and rewrote some parts and mixed it in FL...the beta looks to make it even easier...the only problem is the new tool bar takes up too much space, which doesn't give me enough screen room for dfhs when it's in construct....so I have to detach it...

All hosts have their strong points. I really love Reaper for audio recording, but it blows for midi implementation. Good thing I have EnergyXT

Any Fruity Loops users here that can also play an instrument
