FL Studio or P5?

Ask in the P5 forum, and you know the answer you're going to get before you even ask the question, so why ask it at all ?

The best person to give a comparison is actually Ognis since he has the most experience in FL Studio that I know of (other people may have but havent made themselves as well known).

Ognis does have a point though.

Your best bet though is to try out the web demo for both of them and see which one fits best for you.

Both have their points. FLS is great if you want a drum machine syle interface and lots of synths. P5 has less variety but Dimension is better than any FLS synth (tho as stalin said, Quanity has a quality all its onw). If I had to choose, I'd go for P5. If I only had $100 bucks, tho, and wanted to add functuallity to my DAW, FLS is great. And say what you want about it, it is a lot of fun and I seldom turn it off without producing something useful, even if it is only a rendered beat.

I think, as AT said, they both have their +ve and -ve points.

P5 has the way better arrange pane (laying out tracks), fl has way better automation and routing.

P5 has Dimension, FL has Sytrus - I know these are not the same types of synth, but both are very, very good!

Try the demo, for more than an hour , and you will see if it 'clicks' for you.

See my response on the Sonar forum, although I didn't realize that you already had P5 when I responded to that post. Anyway, I see no reason for you to spend your hard-earned cash on FLS7. I did that awhile back and found that it was a waste of money - not because FLS is no good (it's actually surprisingly nice and not as cheesy as its former namesake would have you believe), but because I already had P5 and Sonar and I didn't really get much out of FLS that I couldn't already accomplish in P5 and Sonar. You have two of the finest MIDI sequencers on the market (Sonar for its in-depth editing and P5 for its ease of use), so I suggest taking the time to get to know everything you can about these hosts/sequencers and you will be much better served. That said, I will add that the ability to use FLS7 as a VST in Sonar seems to hold some promise, but I haven't spent a whole lot of time exploring it (why won't CW do something like this with P5 ?!)
