I like the idea of pitting two producers, one using FL & the other using, say, Reason, to make a track based around certain parameters & criteria and see whose sounds the best. I used to use FL & now I'm a Reason Grand Dragon

None of you FL monkeys could ever match me. Ever.

Now come on guys!! Go fight it out

I also use FL Studio (version 8) btw, since the piano roll in FL Studio beats all other piano rolls in my opinion. And the playlist / pattern functions have been updated as well in the new version.
People who say flstudio is crap don't know what they're talking about...

Is FL8 backwards compatible, with for example an FL7 project file?

Why not? A producing battle is pretty cool

wrong.

files are guaranteed to be forwards compatible only. you may be lucky, but generally any file you edit significantly in FL 8 will not go back into FL 7 without loss.

Er, what the fuck are you on about. FL8 is backwards compatable because it can open FL7 files, thats what backward compatable means, he never said that FL7 could open FL8 files...

you're wrong.
Wikipedia...

If a newer software version cannot save files that can be read by the older version it is not backward compatible with the older version, although it may provide an irreversible upgrade capability for the old files.

i thought it was obvious that fl7 files can go into fl8. i assumed he was asking so that if he tries FL8 he can still go back to FL7 with the same project files...

What you're talking about, opening FL8 files in FL7, is forward compatibility, and its pretty obvious that's not going to work.

Maybe an application isn't considered 100% backward compatible unless it can save files in the previous versions format, but the idea of FL8 opening FL7 files is still a question of backward compatibility and has nothing to do with forward compatibility...
