One more vote for Studio One. It's very simple... Offers the minimal number of steps to turn the idea in your head into music (or to discover a new idea). Not sure why so many here are fanatical about reaper, but I stopped using mine a week after I paid for it. I every little thing required a trip to the manual. Using multi-timbal synths with multiple outs requires creating a single track with 4 or more channels. Using side chaining also requires a four-channel track with routing configuration on botht the sidechain source track and the target track. And that's just one example of the kind of complexity that makes REAPER unusable.

Everything requires customization and tweaking to get in the right place. For what your goals are, it's absolutely the wrong approach.

I am now running Pro Tools 10.3 with an avid 11 Rack. It was almost $700 for the package but after using it for the past few months I'm in love with it. No other Daw needed now.

Studio One's browser and smart freeze features, overall layout and performance make it my go to daw. S1 drag n drop everything shit on everything else.

Now I feel it is time to finally change from FL Studio to something new, innovative, modern. A new DAW to put my teeth in.

Why change a winning team?

He'd better not use Sylenth, because all you get is sylence.

S1 all the way for me too...

Decent native effects and it's extremely ez to use. Pretty much everything is on hand, and crashes a lot less then Ableton or Logic did (on my set up anyway).

And it's is constantly evolving also...

well, since you're an experienced and successful FL Studio user, i guess you're looking for a more traditional-oriented DAW in order to ease up the mixing process. in this case, i would recommend Studio One for its ridiculously fast workflow and great built-in effects.

if you're looking for a different approach to music making, take a look at Ableton Live. it never clicked for me, but it definitely has a workflow which works for lots of people out there.

finally, there's Reason with its huge arsenal of instruments and effects but no VST support. definitely worth a look, though.

i keep FL Studio on my PC because I like it for the material that needs "programming".

I have logic on my Mac and there I record audio - guitars, modular synths, real bass, vocals... And I mix everything in Logic, and master in logic.

I run copperlan between the machines (midi over lan, free) and I have a simple usb stereo out going from my PC to my Fw audio interface.

Works perfectly.

i highly recommend logic for you.

The only MAJOR criticism I have of FL at his point is its painfully rudimentary mixer (and no LAN syncing ). Didn't like LIVE much, Cubase is fantastic, but the learning curve is no joke, especially coming from FL.

TRy Reaper. Everyone raved about it, and once I got the demo, I saw alot of what they were talking about

I was looking for a easy way to make melodies, pads and for hip hop. I am learning PT now but was wondering if FL was an ideal way to accomplish this. I tried it 4 years ago on a demo version and thought the piano roll was cool but didn't commit because I knew nothing about it. If I have PT to trasnfer to it to edit, would you suggest FL as a good way to "rough draft" a beat?

Sorry if it's off topic but your cons for FL seems like its non-existent with another DAW?

Thanks for your help all.

FL Studio would work well for what you're trying to do. No need to use Pro Tools at all unless you just like working that way better. You can make a quality song from start to finish in FL Studio. Recording audio, midi, editing, vst's, samples etc...

Each DAW has a workflow that is a little smoother for certain things. FL Studio is fine for about anything, but sometimes it's nice to have a cleaner layout that's organized differently. The preference is up to the user.

Try FL Studio's DEMO, only limitation is that it won't save a project.
