I only really use it for the instruments

For me it's my main DAW.

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.
Ah, I thought that's what you meant.

I don't really create GUIs, so I wouldn't know, but linking everything with formulas is :clap:

By the way, I’m working on a new remix. In the meantime, you can download Hemsworth on SoundCloud. https://soundcloud.com/hipster-bales/hemsworth

I highly recommend trying it out. Combined with formula-based automation links it makes FL Studio twice as good. Instead of having to bring up hundreds of plugins you can control everything from a few GUIs. Really cool for creating advanced sound design and mixing environments. It's a lot of work to make it but saves countless hours later on.

I mean, there is Patcher, and I've used that quite a few times. Thanks for the suggestion :tu: :tu:

Imagine controlling hundreds of plugins in different Patcher instances from one Surface GUI. That's what I'm talking about. But it takes time to learn and come up with a concept. It's almost like building your own little DAW inside FL Studio.

Wow

I am sure Fruity is awesome. But that is the state of this modern technology, right?

For me it’s the overall workflow.

FL Studio really encourages creativity and experimenting. It feels very fast and intuitive when sketching ideas, especially for EDM production.
