Yeh, but its nice to have a DAW that updates 'shotgun' style (and free) ;-)

Not worth it if I'm getting stupider every time I use it (and I don't have much to go off of in the first place...).

I'll make you a GIF of how I have it set up sometime- looks and works just like Studio One for me now- just switches the bottom panel between mixer, rack and editor ;-)

Took me 20 years, the 'all plug in edition' dropping to £300 and a year long lockdown to finally bother to learn how to use it though, so I get you! (and I still won't/can't use it for linear audio recording, but it makes a great sampler/looper with Edison et all.....think of it like 'Maschine' with Komplete built in and it's closer to how I use it!

That's really possible?

That was surprisingly fast. Their last Rosetta optimization update already boosted FL Studio performance by something like 2-3x, so I'll be curious to test it out. Running large, CPU heavy projects on a computer that's dead silent is such a strange, wonderful thing.

automation editor was the game-changer in the first beta, finally can see the initial-end values(min-max) with the curve and curve modulation together (+ targets)

previously tweaking the automation was highly PITA after Bitwig it works much better now

I am horrible at making GIFs, but you get the idea, just detach the windows and put them where you like on top of each other, then just switch between them. I like a clean screen, so the browser is pop up, I don't use 'pattern picker' and I have a simple 1 line menu bar. I just go to the left till the browser pops up, drag and drop an instrument (or audio) on a track and everything is mapped and linked ready to the mixer ready to play- just like Studio One!

Nope. Just knowing they're stacked there on top of each other makes my blood boil :dog:

But I'll definitely be paying attention to what they do for v21.

Well, its one click open, one click close (so you don't have to stack them). I don't know FL very well so there is probably a better way of doing this or a macro or something, but I just went for a look I am familiar with initially. I am gradually working out what works for me (dropping audio to Edison first etc and breaking loops in sliceex...this is what makes things work in FL for me)

The basic workflow isn't necessarily better when you try to ape a traditional DAW...I started that way and now am seeing some of the benefits of the 'FL' way...but it is hard to break old habits and expectations! One thing I can say for sure, irrespective of DAW workflow, is the plugins in the all plugin edition are exceptional...I am booting up FL to use Harmor!
