I reckon the answer Muziksculp is looking for is this:

Yes, it's OK if you want to produce trance music in FL Studio 10, there's no need to worry about it or feel inferior. Just make great music using the tools you love.

Some would call it validation ;)

Enjoy! :cool:

Peace,
Andy.

I don't agree mate.
IMO he just wanted to know why it was so popular, just out of curiosity.
Don't read anything more into it.

However, we already confirmed it isn't as popular as he thought. :shrug:

Yes agreed.
But funnily enough that answer came after he asked the question ;)

Hi,


I just asked a simple question, for the sake of KNOWLEDGE.

There is no hidden agenda, I really don't get it, what's the big fuss all about here.

For example, If you check Image Line's website, you will see that most of audio demos they produce lean towards Trance/Dance genre, and instruments they offer, seem to be well suited for Trance type music, that's one indication that they have some type of focus on providing some interesting instruments for that Genre.

This was just another observations, so, I was simply trying to 'KNOW' more about FL10, and if it was really very popular with Trance Producers/Musicians. I asked a simple question, for a very simple reason .....

To 'KNOW' . Is 'KNOWING' a problem here ? or Not allowed ? :shock:

I could have easily asked if 'Protools' was the most popular DAW in commercial recording studios, but.... I 'KNOW' the answer is YES, hence I didn't ask, and I don't need to know any sales figures to come to that conclusion.

I just want to 'KNOW' if FL10 is the most popular DAW for Trance music Production, since it seems to cater a lot of suitable tools for that genre, i.e. Virtual Instrument, sound libraries, …etc.

I hope I clarified my intentions for asking my question, although, I don't feel it is necessary, given that my question was very clearly stated.

Cheers,
Muziksculp

Within a very small sample of musicians. Maybe that's what the OP's looking for. Maybe it's "all" trance musicians. Dunno.

Nobody said there was. I asked what your overt agenda was, since you didn't say. (Everyone has an agenda; not all are the potentially insidious hidden kind.) Without knowing what your purpose was, it would be difficult to explain things to you in a meaningful way.

As were the replies explaining the reasons why you would not be able to get an answer as you would like to. Life's like that sometimes. Accept that a ballpark guesstimate is what you will have, or start emailing every trance producer alive to ask them to answer your poll, because that's the only way you'll find an absolute answer.

You can't ask people for data that don't exist and expect a serious, accurate reply. You deal with what is, and make your decisions accordingly.

You know that? Interesting. I'm much less certain that is true.

@muziksculp.... This is KVR, so there is no way you will get a thoughtful answer to your question. Most posting haven't bothered to read the thread and know you are a Cubase user, and just curious about FL usage. Don't take it personally, most here just repeat the same ole mantra's over and over without actually listening.

I don't very little about it all but, I think the roots of FL was definitely in dance music. It is without a doubt a great tool for making Trance, and many use it. It's step sequencer, arp and included instruments are a natural for beats. As far as I know the "big" names mainly use Logic and Cubase. But a lot of indies and bedroom producers use FL. Of course some pro's use FL, and some hobbyist use Cubase or Logic.

Anyway, I hope someone with more knowledge than I, and understands your question replies as well....

Ahhhh except there was provided a list of most major, commercial trance artists currently writing trance music (which showed Logic and Cubase are used substantially more) ...this negated his view that FL is popular with trance artists (in general). The answer to his question was provided in showing the viewpoint the question was based on wasn't entirely accurate. :shrug:

True. But as I said, it's a very small sample. Maybe it's enough to satisfy the OP though.

@Muziksculp: Are you interested only in the "big names"? If so, the list should be a good start. If you're considering the whole trance-oriented music scene, it's a drop in the bucket... a significant drop, but a drop nonetheless.

Again, the more you say about your reasons for asking, the more useful the replies will be. A little info from you will get you a lot more back.

Most house and trance producers use Logic and Cubase and Live.

It is absolutely true. I have spoken with every commercial recording studio and not only is Pro Tools the most popular it also won Miss Congeniality as well as the swimsuit competition :)

Those that can, do. Those that can't, argue about it on k-v-r

That's not Pro Tools, it's Ridgid Tools. They're most popular with auto mechanics. I know because I've seen the walls of several garages and repair shop offices.

We do reveal that our demo is downloaded and installed (on average) over 30,000 times per day. Even we are surprised...every day :)
