FL Studio 7?

Hi guys,

after getting some serious hardware... i really hate FL 6... it cant work properly with the hardware such as Virus Ti... like others tell me i should move on into Cubase/Logic/Ableton... but i tries em... and sux badly i need to learn the sequencer from 0... and i think is waste of time...

so i just wanna know will FL make the 7 series out? and will be more stable like other pro Sequencer???

because i feel FL is the best to do arrangement... is easy looking... not complicated like others...

i tried cubase... but till now i cant even make a sound came out from there! argh!

so do u guys have any detail of the new FL? if it is still the same.. i will move on to other software start from 0

thnx!

all i can say is that... if fl7 doesnt have semi decent audio features this time (the current implementation is a f*cking joke) and support midi feedback, then i will be happy to get rid of it permenantly, forever, and convert fully to cubase. i'm about halfway there already

You can use outboard with FL Studio. Ive been doing it for more than a year...What are you talking about?

@Derivative: yup2 i know what u meant hehe.. u teach me before... to record it as WAV.. but the problem is.. before i render it to wav.. i need to figure out a matching sound with other synth... but if it is always Latency & delay sound which cause "melody war"... is hard for me to finish my work hehe

@echosystm: is it really cubase can handle such frustating problem?

so im asking if FL7 can improve/make life easier... im talking bout Virus Ti here LOL

thnx alot man!

No silly You use multimode to monitor loads of single patches from the same synth.

Also, if you have other instruments in the track you can monitor in realtime and get everything just right before you record the result.

If I run out of voices on my Virus B I just take notes in notepad and go back and tweak. Then rerecord. On Virus TI this should never happen.

Nothing you just said really made any sense to me...

Want to be more technical with your description?

im not sure of the technical terms :P

motorised faders dont work with fl and I want a bcf. bcf + cubase = omgpwn, i've been playing around with one, best control surface ever (well, for cheap anyway :P). once you've used one, you'll never want to touch your mouse again.

when i said audio, i mean the wav editor (its complete crap) and the way you structure audio tracks in the playlist. cutting up vocals etc. is so much quicker and easier it's not funny in cubase. anyone who's used both will agree.

also, wtf is with not being able to float the mixer on a different monitor? there must be a way, but i could never find it =(
only having the playlist moveable = teh stupahd.

there are lots of little things i prefer about cubase but i wont go into that :P
those are the main two.

Blame your soundcard and your audio (asio) drivers, not FL?

Its true that the wave editor in FL sucks a fat one. But if you use FL you learn fast that you really need to own Soundforge or Audition as well. Both of those are excellent wave editors.

With respect to the not so good dual screen support. This is funny, because Cubase is a pain in the arse to work with on one monitor. Its great if you have two monitors.

FL Studio is usable on one monitor and its dandy. But it doesn't work brilliantly spanned across 2. I have limited desk space so the fruity er...solution suits me down to the ground.

I seriously don't understand it is necessary, if you understand the music basics, ableton is easy as hell. I got it down within an hour last week and now already got this.

I don't know how flexible ableton is with hardware though.
I always found the hardware I had was irritating. It just isn't as easy to get everything working as if it was vst or something.

new wave editor for the next fruity

i just find ableton uselessly confusing, random ass buttons with no labels and shit etc. its just not like any other sequencer, when you know the basics of one of the pros, (logic sonar cubase protools..) you know the basics of all of them, ableton you have to learn basics all over again grr.

Couldn't disagree more, But then again that should have been obvious when comparing our posts. I found it very easy and got it down very quickly.

+2

ableton took me a solid day to get used to. warping a good few days but other then that i find it more user friendly then cubase. cubase u have to do like 5 steps which would take ableton one step..seems soo unproductive .
