You could try the demo. I'm not sure if videos of any DAW are sufficient enough to convince or dissuade anyone when considering a purchase. :shrug:

Oh, I already own the Signature Edition (found a great deal in physical music store nearby) but I can't get into it, despite trying several times.

I hope v21 brings some big changes to the workflow (to make it more "traditional", like 20.1+ already hinted). Frankly, just strarting with clean Playlist and Mixer would get me halfway there. It does my head in that I open empty template and it's already full of tracks & channels :D

FL certainly has its own workflows and surely isn't for everybody.

I'm looking forward to version 21 if for nothing else the new themes that have been promised. After using FL since version 3 something new and fresh to look at will be welcome.

And of course the good thing is no matter what 21 brings it will be free..... :)

It got already a lot better...

The only part which is missing for me for the linear workflow is "Duplicating tracks" which is currently in the make according to Shinyless...

Oh and if there wouldn´t be this nerving "Make unique" thingie but this will never go away I fear... :D

I think V21 will bring still a lot of goodies on top of the great additions they brought into this whole beta cycle...
I hope realtime fades will make it into audio clips already in the first release...

Maybe, but I think the changes so far signal they won't go far enough with v21 for me. Or maybe ever. For example you have to click those vertical "things" next to tracks to select them? How is that convenient or fast? Why don't just highlight the track, like every f**king DAW on the planet?! :dog:

Understandable!

For an existing user, the excitement for at least having finally something like this overweights the question why it isn´t implemented in a more convieniant way...
For a person who´s interested in the software but is used to other programms it looks as weird as it actually is in reality...

In everyday life though it doesn´t make any difference if you highlight the track or use these "LED´s"

I write this despite being a defender of the programm on one side...

As far as their (IL´s) arguments go:

- Things turn out more complicated to change as it seems from outside and require lots of rewriting bigger parts of the programm...
So it´s less a question of what they want to do but more a problem of how much time it takes to create the ability to do so...

- BUT... and this is a real big BUT nobody interested into the programm should leave out of sight:

They strictly insist on keeping the original nature of FL Studio!!

Means changes will impleted just as far as they don´t conflict with the "original" patternbased workflow and will always just be "optional"!!

For my understanding this means we will most likely never reach any state of "best of both worlds" but always a patternbased (and in my opinion because of that) more restricted DAW with a bit of linearity on top...

Further this means to me we will never reach the "freedom of linearity" with it´s logical workflow and feature richness...
The defenders of patternbased and nonlinearity workflow always claim the "freedom" for themselves but for me every linear sequencer on the market contains double as much "freedom" ...

Perhaps it´s a point of view... perhaps it´s personal preference... perhaps it´s my limited way of thinking but even if I like many aspects of FLS I found this pattern thingie 1000 times more limiting and complicated than the linear way of working...
