the music you compose can be 'pro' or not 'pro', not
the software you use to make it
there are greats tunes made with trackers...and horrible songs made with cubase or protools...

many people who do experience problems and are willing to pay "someone" to fix those problems ASAP.
What? I thought the original post was asking if FL was the only app you needed to creat/make music...not run a commercial studio. :P

Fruity is out of it's league when being compared to these professional software packages because it isn't one nor can it do everything that these other packages can.
What crock. Please tell me what makes these packages "professional"? :?

CD burning is useful in an application that allows you to manually adjust PQ points etc, which professional audio softeware like Audition and WaveLab let you do.
FL's rendered waves contain the playlist markers - you just need to use those markers when you burn to CD. There's a special type of cue points made for that.
IMO it's often the toyish apps that want (for marketing reasons) to have everything included.
CD ripping means importing audio directly FROM a CD.


If you're a professional, you don't rip from CD's, you get the original audio material in the first place. What's on CD's is the end-user version, and you work with that only when you don't have the choice, that is, when you're stealing someone else's stuff (otherwise you'd get the original material, usually at a higher depth & samplerate, so that you can master it further).

I don't agree that Audition or WaveLab are "toyish". But thanks for the tip about how FL does this.

Very true...

...but in education (my main emplyment - I teach keyboards and Music Tech) it is very useful to be able to rip a track from a CD and transpose it to another key (e.g. using pitchshifting) so that it is easier for students to play along with.

gol, since you are making suggestions, what applications handle LAME mp3 encoding?

So what's hard? You rip the track to WAV in any number of free programs, dump the WAV in FL Studio 5 and then pitch-shift it. :?

They're not toyish, because it's their job to let you work on audio files, import, export, and edit. It'd be toyish for a *sequencer* to burn to CD. The same way it'd be toyish for an audio editor to let you compose - it wouldn't do it as well as a sequencer anyway.
