Originally posted by Djshortcircuit Alright one last question from me on this topic. I am a college student, aka, I dont have money. Right now, I use samples and my keyboard through my mic input on the back of my computer to make songs. Do you guys/gals have the works? Mixing board, multiple keyboards, effects processers? Im just wondering because Im starting to make my own music and thats what I have. So am I just a wanna-be loser making half assed tracks, or am I alright for just playing with producing?

The only two things I have that cost me money are Floops, Abelton, and AudioRealism Bassline.

And there is so much one can do with such stuff, imagionation is the limit.

Because of its history and original name, IMO.

It started out as more of a "toy", with a very "toy-ish" name. It exploded into a fully functional studio sequencer/editor/DAW, but it's hard to shake that rep when some people think it's still just a simple toy to play around with like eJay.

hmmz if only you could just streatch notes to make a melody that would amke life so much easier.

LOL! I laughed at that statement too, how completely silly. Those stretchable lines still represent notes. I've had musical training, and it wasn't hard for me to get used to using that method rather than musical notation. When you get down to it, you are still dealing with musical notes, no matter how you look at it. The only time I ever stretch anything is to turn a bunch of quarter notes into half notes, ect.

I suppose Fruity Loops will never live down the reputation of it's earlier versions. The fact that FL used to not have VST support didn't help any. Remember how the older versions used to crash all the time? I've had other producers state that as the reason they don't like FL. They don't realize FL has come a long way since then.

the only daw ive seen that allows you to fully compose as sheet music would be logic and unless im mistaken wouldnt saying the piano roll is a joke like saying guitar players who cant read sheet music and only tabs is a joke.... ohhh wait thats differnt... altho it would be nice to be able to write it as sheet music and do slides and cresecndos and slurrs and shit of that sort. however fuck off and die everyone to their own.

the piano roll in combination with the Fruity Slicer is awesome.

Guess I totally overlooked the comment about the Piano roll. A silly comment, and I probably shouldn't respond to it, but anyway. If you are going to compose any complex piece of music, beyond quarter and eight notes, you have to use the piano roll. The only time I ever use the step sequencer is for a straight 4/4 kick, snare, or hi-hat pattern.

I also use it to trigger one-shot effects.
