I'm torn between creating custom GUIs (Dashboard/Surface) and being able to link everything with formulas. I like both equally.

Spending a day in a different DAW made me really appreciate FL's arrangement view.

Are you talking about the startup or export sound?

Iirc it’s their soft clipper sound, both in their channels and on the master. They have a certain sound that’s pretty much industry standard for urban type beats. It’s especially beneficial for 808 heavy drums etc. Orange clip comes close but in a test it doesn’t null fwiw.

BTW speaking of FL, I'm currently working on a new song. What do you guys think?

Channel Rack forsure. Really helped me understand drum placement. Easy to get complacent and repetitive so I try to come up with new patterns

Not exactly my can of Coke lol
When you put it on the master, it can oversaturate it or cause unnecessary clipping, which is what an experienced producer wouldn't want (I'm not as experienced as you guys but, I'm a fast learner given that I'm a teenager)

Yeah, I tried other DAWs as well, but I stuck with FL because the UI and stock synths are easy to learn in my opinion

Plus one for stock synths, add on top of that the growing library of stock synths that get added with every major update

Welcome to the forum, and yeah, I think they added Kepler and Kepler Exo a few updates ago.

Thanks! I've been loving Kepler and Kepler Exo, it made me want to get an actual Juno 6/60 until I saw the price for them

I've never used Kepler (or Exo either), I'm more focused on Sytrus and Harmless.

Still it would be great to have a P5 or FL with vertical flow like Aodix or BUZE tracker which are both piano rollers as well...

Not to bust chops on FLs highly touted piano roll but BUZE has incredible Rt-Click menu on both piano roll or FX curve lanes & many of those choices have submenus-

Here's a close-up of the menu easier to read, colors contrasted-

Point is having a flow from top to bottom with lanes that can be enabled, dealt with then hidden (including piano roll) makes all faster & cleaner...

bla bla. We know,,,,

I mean, I prefer FL's piano roll because A. It's the first thing I used when downloading FL, B. It just works.
