I like the stock plugins a lot.
Why is FL Studio so popular?

Yeah I haven't used FL in a while since FL 12. It's come a long way. I bought the full FL collection recently. It's been fun using this with my new rme interface, arturia V8 collection, Slate (analog vibe!) etc. Gonna test some of the NI plugins (I'm a beta tester for NI) in FL tonight!Teksonik wrote: ↑Thu Nov 25, 2021 8:26 pmWhy is Reaper popular or Cubase or Logic or?
Could it be people like the workflow?
Kids could use Mommy's credit card to buy any DAW. Reaper is only $60, I'm sure many Moms can swing that. Bitwig has a $99 version (on sale now 79 USD / 79 EUR) and so on.
If you really want to know then try the FL Studio demo. Like the workflow? Buy it. It's not for you? Delete it and move on.
If you're asking just out of idle curiosity then I'd suggest your time could be better spent.....

I switched from using FL to Studio One some years ago.
Now I've added Bitwig and also other DAWs.
One thing I like about Bitwig is that I can open my old FL projects since it also has a bridger for 32 bit plugins without needing to bother with jBridge (which is good software, too).
Now I'm getting back into FL alongside. The real old projects just need to be resaved in FL 20 to load into Bitwig. Next I'll try to use FL vsti or Rewire in Bitwig.
I think I finally reached a point where things are getting easier for me than they used to be.

I had already left the thread but people keep quoting me so....
I'm just trying to save you time and the trouble of moderating when threads get out of control after people get triggered when their favorite DAW or plugin is insulted. Call it pre-moderation. I consider this whole thread and all the "what's the best/worst/popular" etc threads trolling so it all depends on how you look at it.
Ok I'll leave this thread...again...if people would be so kind to stop quoting me that would be great. Yes I could just not respond but then again they could have just not responded to me so like I said round and round we go.

There is another reason. People still can purchase piles of books about audio production and they are still about Protools, Cubase and Reason. Other DAWs are hardly mentioned in such books.
So these companies basically priced themselves up and up through time. Until they got complacent. My 2c.

If this is your honest opinion then I must advice you to look a second time at FLS´PR Editor...
They might be more or less equal as long as it comes to the standard stuff (even if there it´s already getting difficult for S1 to keep up) but FLS´Editor can do 10 times more behind these obvious operations...
People can diss many features of FL Studio but fair has to stay fair ...there is not a single PR editor out there which comes even close to the FL Studio one!

I use MPE a lot... the FL Studio piano roll does not support MPE so for me, even the fairly simple piano roll in Bitwig is better than the FLS one.

you arent wrong tek, I am just trying to keep it on track but after I suggested to the op it could be locked he quoted you again with the same argument. I truly appreciate your cooperation, but dont even worry about it. But be it known to everyone I'm not babysitting the thread...again thanx tekTeksonik wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 1:02 pmI had already left the thread but people keep quoting me so....

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

Best piano roll in the game. Also it gets a lot of little things right that other DAWs don't, eg single click to preview samples (Studio One still doesn't have it as default), right click a sample/loop to open it a sampler or have it automatically chopped up and mapped to the keyboard, easy routing and sidechaining, and more. Major downside is window management can be a pain in the arse, probably the worst DAW for it. Definitely a DAW that benefits from multiple monitors.

Sure it has to do with the piano roll... editing per note pitch data is a piano roll function.Trancit wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 5:55 pmBut this isn´t actually related to the PR Editor... this is about MPE support...

All this. Plus the piano roll's reputation is justified.
I used it pretty much for a few years and did a lot of stuff in it.
I don't really understand why it's derided so much. Lots of criticism about it being a 'toy' which is just rubbish.
Its only deficiencies for me are the way midi is implemented. It's too fiddly. And the windows can get cluttered. (that isn't such a problem as you can save custom workspaces now. That being said, a dual monitor is definitely an advantage). I still use it for midi work. The Directwave sampler can be used to make sample instruments of VSTi.
Lots of good things about it. Esp. if you are looking for a one-stop does everything type deal.

That insult is a holdover from the days of "Fruity Loops" which was way back before 2003. Some people just can't move on.
"Oh you use Fruity Loops? *sneering*
It's not a real DAW you know. It's a kid's toy."
