Anyone here uses FL Studio ?

i think this topic belongs in the software forum

I actually use it as a VST plugin in Sonar occasionally.  But I don't think I've ever put a whole piece of music together just using FL, though with the improvements they've made in the last few versions it would probably be possible.  But pretty much all I do is MIDI -- don't know how it is for recording.

fl is known for its beats thats about it..you cant compare it to sonar x1..it doesnt even line up.x1 is way more powerful

If you are familiar with Pogo's work (he did a mashup of Alice In Wonderland that has had over a million hits), there is a video of him doing the same kind of thing with Lord Of The Rings using FL Studio here:

i thought FL 10 was 64 bit supported

I've only used a demo at different times on 3 or 4 occasions. I never really found it appealing in any way.

Charlie- To answer your question. I bought Reason and Sonar at the same time. Well within two weeks of each other. I found it easier to get up and running with Reason. Its very easy to get to grips with and the Redrum Drum device is very easy to get drums working in it. I just found it very intuitive. Sonar completely baffled me when I first opened the application up. I just saw millions of buttons everywhere and a cluttered interface. Of course Sonar can do so much more than Reason. Reason cant record audio or support VSTs. Its an application that works best when coupled with another application unless you are recording purely instrumental electronic music.

However its very easy to start getting ideas down in Reason. You can get drums up and running with the Redrum or Dr Rex which is now Dr Octoplex. I also prefer the synths in Reason. Overall the instruments in Reason are great. I was able to get recording almost immediately.

Sonar though has an infinitely better console view. Also its track view is far better as well. So I got into the habit of getting tracks up and running in Reason and then transferring them to Sonar where I could add external VSTs record my vocals and edit them and mix everything down in Sonars console view.

My workflow was kinda dictated to me.

Now with Sonar X1 it maybe be easier for me to do a whole project in Sonar now. The interface certainly looks a lot less cluttered and I do welcome that. I am certainly interested in using it sometime during the summer.

I am not sure if there is a Reason Demo. Rarely go on their site as their forum doesnt compare to this one. This is the best forum for any of the DAWs out there at the moment.

FL10 is not a 64 bit DAW, it merely has a bridge that allows the use of 64 bit plugins

Which is pretty much solves all the memory issues that make people want to go to 64bit. Why do you need the actual program to be 64bit?

Oh right, my thinking was that if you were running a 64 bit OS, that the bridge could use more than 4gb if the vst wrapper was run in its own process.

64 Bit plugin wrapper - FL Studio now hosts 64 Bit VST plugins for access to unlimited memory.
