Happy New Year, Scott.

Since you're putting on a clinic here, are there any resources you can point me to relating to Content Library & Downloads? I've not really sussed it out since the downloadable stuff was moved to the web. Is there an easy way to compare what I've already downloaded to what's available online? How about usage explanations/examples of using the downloadable content?

FL Studio has no more 'windows' than other DAWs. If you are restricted to a single monitor, you can snap them all into an arrangement not unfamiliar to other DAWs like Ableton, Studio One etc...and when you need maximize/minimize them for focused work.

In fact, regarding the workflow of midi edit FL is more convenient and click-less than ableton for me thanks to maximize button and close button.

FL switched to it's new shiny version 12 look, ... still had the same old concept of too many windows and digging through menus (which should be fixed first if you want new "appeal").

- docking, Reaper/Cubase/S1/Bitwig/Ableton etc. all of them have changeable docking areas


in FLS I would put gladly the PR/Mixer into a bottom docker and would change between them with some + 1..9 shortkey or in split mode (video 3:20), constantly opening/closing PR is not so comfy (I would also dropping opened Patcher instances to there who wants to open/close them constantly and Edison...Slicex... )

Please!!!!!! MPE support! I have a Seaboard and I'd hate to abandon FL because of it in favor of Bitwig or Reaper.
Roli's waiting for you to implement it too!

Hi please ask the guys in Techsupport, they will help - http://forum.image-line.com/viewforum.php?f=200

Might want to start by cleaning up the bug ., right click keyboard icon (not talking about the chord in the piano roll
By default it's F maj penta ( root =c )
C major pentatonic = C/D/E/G/A
and not C/D/F/G/A/ ( this is f maj penta )
It's obvious someone looked at the black keys and just said , hey let's apply this to the white one , not taking the root into consideration ..

penta scale degree
whole step/whole step/whole step and half /whole step /whole step /whole step and half

Thanks will investigate.

I've played around with the Beta. I have to say it looks AWESOME. The fact that I can detatch VSTs helps immensely on my small screen.

Also, native freezing is pretty great too.

Can't wait for the official FL Studio 20 Release.

Great work guys!

Beta 3 brewing ...

Nice.

One of the major selling points was the FPC.

I hate to say this but it seems like that plugin gets less awesome over time. When I first used it way back there were all these kit choices and it was so fun. Now it's pretty basic with even less features.

It should still have all the kits and I'm not aware of it losing any major features, what are you missing? It actually got a couple of nice features added lately (per-pad automatable pitch, colours/icons for the pads, resizable UI).

+ storing initial values of almost everything (mixing, routing, VST params etc.) in clips also unique in FLS, jamming is superbly fun with it



it's quite sick, Can you smell what IL is cooking?

Thank you for all videos xbitz, you certainly know your way around FL Studio, but again, I think this is just proving my point how un-intuitive and unnecessary complex and time wasting is simple stuff. For me, personally, I found all these new features just complicating things even more, with even more mouse clicks and digging into menus, a big step-back.
See, for example, I didn't play with FL since version 11 (as it's not my main DAW, not even my DAW at all, but still I am keeping my eye on FL12 and FL20) and there are so many new concepts and features to grasp, that I think I would need another couple of months just to find a way and new workarounds for my intended actions. Now, I have to say that I used to love things like that when I was younger (I was looking at them as challenges), to explore and learn every possible little detail of every DAW and trying to figure out "hidden-cool ways" of doing things, but I am realizing now that most of that would just made me a power user of a DAW, but realistically, while producing music (simple or complex) I would rarely use any of these more "advanced" methods that I've discovered during play, and it was mostly just a waste of time when I found out that I could do same things in other DAWs with 2 steps, but such is life...

We need to make decisions and choices, but I know as I am getting older I am losing my patience for new ways and technology of over complicating our daily lives (not talking just about DAWs here).
I just want to get in focus, make music quickly and straightforward, I don't want for DAW to be an obstacle, but transparent.
Of course, that is why I didn't chose FL as my main DAW, but I still like it and have huge respect for developers (as I have an IT background) but I just wish things are more streamlined and straight, instead it's getting more (unnecessary) complex, and this phenomenon present is everywhere in our daily lives, I don't know why.
I guess we are at point where we will have everything available with no boundaries, no limits, but that makes things very complicated (google: paradox of choice) and most of all, challenges and knowledge is getting completely new dimension and meaning as we are soaked daily with unnecessary information and time consumers that don't actually help in creating more comfortable and enjoyable life nowadays.

Today, I am questioning myself should I revert back to either Logic 9 (even Logic 7), Studio One V2 or even try FL Studio 10 and stick with it.
As I can see, there is currently almost no company that is going to right direction in making our lives easier (in any area of our lives) and that makes these times really sad when we have everything that we can wish and accomplish, but we are losing ourselves in the sea of daily distractions.

Now I apologize for slightly philosophical OT, I am not being negative or criticizing anybody, just saying whats on my heart.

Same old general complaints about FL Studio, different day/week/month/year/decade.

In all seriousness though, if you dislike FL's workflow as much as you obviously do, then I think you've already made your own decisions and choices. Jump on over to Logic and don't look back. Problem solved.

Nice job on the newest update, Image-Line. FL is looking better and better every day.

I don't think you understand my view (I've explained it in my earlier post), I am not FL studio user, I already am Logic user (past 13 years), but my long time studio partner used FL studio as main daw (not main anymore, but that's irrelevant in this case).
I always had a chance to play with FL and I always wanted to own it as I own PC, too, but it was just love-hate relationship as I was coming from "traditional" style of DAW and some of the things were just driving me nuts in FL, while some features I found brilliant.
I think there were more positive things there, but still, I couldn't justify buying another DAW which I didn't like it's workflow and try to figure out shortcomings that are taken for granted in another DAWs.
My point is, that I really want to love FL and switch to it, but I guess it is just not there for me, yet.
Meanwhile, I am glad that you find it perfect for yourself.

Its being (re)developed as we speak. So, FL Studio 20, assuming nothing major happens in between now and then.
