8. What sequencer should I use?
Which car should you drive? Which cell phone plan should you pick? Should you BBQ that hot dog or nuke it?
Who cares? All cars get you from point A to point B, assuming you know how to drive. All cell plans will allow you to call your friends, assuming you pay your bills. And as long as that meat is cooked, it doesn't really matter how. They're all tools, and although everybody has their personal preferences, they all get the job done. Sure - some cost a fraction of the price that others cost because they're less sophisticated. At the same time, if you're just beginning to produce, then you're shooting yourself in the foot if you automatically dive into the most complex programs available.
Most software vendors will make a trial version of their program(s) available. The best way to find out which sequencer you should use is to try all of them out and see which one suits you best.
Unless you're trying to incite another forum war, you don't want to ask this question. You don't even want to tiptoe around it. People argue enough about this topic *without* being prompted for their opinions.

Try them all out (demos), and choose the one that you feel suits you best. As said, I think they all get the job done.
Edit.Audio Myths & DAW wars
If there's a difference in sound qualities, your ears can't really tell. Get the settings right, and the output should be the same as in any DAW imo.. |

| bit depth and samplerate.... summing is identical. there are several threads on Gearslutz explaining this into depth. |

| If it can support samples, vsts, has multi tracks, fx, and automation, then your sequencer can pretty much do anything. |

If you plan on going out and buying a ton of hardware to use alongside FL that may not be your best bet as FL does not integrate hardware as wisely as some other programs do (or so I'm told but I've also had issues integrating my virus the way I'd prefer, there are definitely limitations are far as hardware goes but not software).
Still though, FL is a wonderful program and on its own its very intuitive and clearly laid out. I've been using it since 2002 and although I've been tempted to go to Logic theres no real reason unless I decide to go splurge on some more hardsynths. Also by rewiring reason you get the benefits of reasons low use cpu software and I find myself rewiring now all the time. Its a great way to get more sounds on cpu restricted computers... although this will be changing in 2 days when my 6 core AMD gets here. |
