| Anyone here use Project 5? It is made by Cakewalk and looks a lot like Reason and it's on sale here at GuitarCenter for $199. I'm really tempted, but I want to know if I'm better off just saving my money and getting an MS2000 or something. |

if you do a search you will find threads about it... and then you can easily find info about it there.. and in the READ HERE BEFORE YOU POST thread..... and then it's just to ask there.
and i guess there is some demo out of it... so why don't you just try the demo |

Thanks for the info about the demo.
Oviously, I've already read the "read here before you post thread", which doesn't say much about Project 5, otherwise I wouldn't have posted this thread. |

Oh you can't?
Oh well, thanks anyway for the demo info, I downloaded it and installed it while I was wasing my time with your other, useless replies. |

Its pretty good i guess, also very new. I like the psyn synth alot. One thing that is good is you can use vsts with it, which makes it alot better if you have good vsts.The fx it has are decent. Its based on pattern seq kinda like fruity. Im still kinda new with it but i have made some quality stuff with it. Its pretty good for the price tho. I think you should try out the demo first tho. They have a proj5 forum and users have posted some of their songs. From what i've listened to everyones songs on their suck heh they dont know how to use the default synths.
Good luck;) |

Ok, I think I'm going to buy it. I played with the demo all day today and it's pretty darn powerfull. It's kinda like a more powerfull fruity loops, or Reason with the ability to use any VST/VSTI/DX plug ins. The softsynth it comes with is really good too (ok, not Vangaurd, but pretty good).
It sounds like I'm promoting it, but I'm not, it's just a good program for $199, not $469. |

Here's how:
1. Take Fruity Loops and get rid of it's olive drab interface and replace it with a cubase/reason looking interface.
2. It works the same as fruity loops with a pattern/song interface, but you have both screens always infront of you and the pattern interface is always a piano roll view instead of 16th note buttons (yes I know they are changable in FL). The piano roll also has filter/event views that you can see in the background making it easy to see/change midi events/controllers.
3. You can assign 1 pattern to multiple devices (make one pattern and assign it to 10 different VSTi's if you want, no need to copy and paste to create synth layers).
4. the effects are easily routed, but I didn't explore this area enough, so far it doen't seem as good as FL in this regard, but maybe I just haven't figured it out yet.
5. It comes with a Reason style sampler and loop playback device.
6. The "PSYN" is a cool soft synth.
So, maybe not anything ground breaking, but I find it as a usefull addition to my FL/Reason/Sonar/Acid studio. |

Same in fl, more or less.

It probably hasnt got half the features fl does, since its fairly new. The thing with fl is that the majority of them arent immediately obvious (or are even well hidden, but theyre always easily accessible), so on first glance it obviously doesnt look as good as it is.
If i was u id read the manual, and learn how to use it properly before wasting money on something that doesnt seem to have any advantages over what u already have. |
