||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont macintoshs got better software then those |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I am a fan of PC and Mac for many different reasons Mac... Safe,Easy,Reliable.... PC... Customizable,software that IS compatible WITH PC but not with Mac, Games that are made for PC... the list goes on |
||||||||
|
|

lol |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
why not try Reaper then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can always dual boot |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try ableton live, damnit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try logic it's the same engine as garageband has innit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this depends on what music you are making, if you want to write electronic music, then you will need something a bit more equipped than garage band. if you can't afford it, then while you are using it you can save up and buy the original, that's what i did |

Yeah I just got done Install bootcamp (Dualboot) Abelton sucksss I tried it out like a month ago not to fond of it... Apple logics? I'll look into it I just got done doing a song on FL studio Sadly I think it will be one of my last =[ (well at least for FL) If you wanna hear it ill post a link after this one |

I have a passionate hate for GarageBand and anyone using, please go Logic, Reaper or Ableton. Please! |
||||||||
|

*and everyone using -it- |

ableton sucks? either 1. you haven't spent nearly enough time with it, or 2. you're an idiot. DAW frustration is so 2003. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...you say the same about Fruity... :-O!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well that's because 1. you haven't spent nearly enough time with it or I might be an idiot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or FL just sucks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FL is not intuitive. Its great waste of time. Is there inteligent synthesis software enywhere????? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's just a matter of preference. who gives a shit. I can only recommend Ableton tho, and I do deeply recommend it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I find fruity just as intuitive as Ableton, but Ableton just patched things up did them in a different way, which makes certain things a bit easier and quicker to work with, which i like. Basically, you can do the same with both applications, if only you'd be smart enough to look beyond what the GUI gives you. |
||||||||

*patched things up AND did them in a different way i want an edit button, now. |

What about sythesis which uses graphical interpretations of waveforms? Draw waves which you wwana hear. Pluses and minuses of such synrhesis technology? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Write a plugin in Synthedit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you sugesting to write "script"- programs for specific waves? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(mac only) there's also the softsynth version of Nord Modular G2, it has something called Patchmutator which uses Genetic Algorithms(basic interactive AI, if there exists something you could call AI then this and/or neural networks), interesting but maybe not what you're looking for. imo all DAWs (i've tried) are severely lacking in terms of tools to assist you structuring your composition. Best they come up with is arpeggiators and some quantization based wank. Dunno maybe Numerology has potential but also appears a bit limited. |

Check your sources first. I'm suggesting that if you miss out on something in a program, make it yourself. Why blame the intuitivity of a program that some team put a lot of effort in. It's just a tool, like a hammer, that everyone uses in their own ways. You can slam nails into wood with it, but if you're clever/curious enough you find out it's quite the back scratcher. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or rather not only "make it yourself", but also "solve it your own". Either way, you can't blame a program's intuitivity if you're just too lazy to do hard work for example. |
||||||||

Can't you virtualize windows on MAC ? Try Virtual Box or VMWARE. Why not have the best of both worlds ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you have windows running in a window then, limited resources (ram/cpu), no full directx support etc. okay for Word and Solitaire of course |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so you have to use a mac, what a bummer. you'd be surprised who uses flstudio and releases musics |

FL Studio was ableton live v7 when ableton live was still on v4 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well I didnt spend a whole lot of time on Ableton thats probably why I didnt like it but In my opinion Fl Studio is much much easier to work with And I think I got the original .flp file used for Solja boy's Crank that haha |

It's a matter of what you're used to. Ableton doesn't "suck" just because you didn't spend enough time with it to figure it out. I tried Fruity Loops one time and became frustrated and irritable because I was used to trackers and couldn't figure the damn thing out. Doesn't mean the program sucks.. in fact most of my friends used it to great results. If FL Studio works for you, then why switch? Unless the music you have swimming around in your head cannot be executed on the program you've got. Maybe if you're trying to compose an Indian raga scaled polyrhythmic concerto for the kazoo then I could see how the software could be a limitation. As larn said earlier.. What kind of sound are you after? What about FL Studio is holding you back? Maybe that line of thought could help you come to a decision. Good luck! |

I still don't get it, no program has ever limited me, ever. Not even Reason. If the program is limiting you from making a certain something, i think you'd be simply lacking knowledge about the software, or even the drive to be creative and get yourself over the hump there. I think it's a matter of how hard you want to work on your music, people sometimes expect certain things to be thrown into their lap from the software, but that's not how things work. A hammer doesn't pick itself up and slams a nail into a piece of wood does it? I wish people got more creative with the ropes they were given, instead of waiting for something or someone to do it for them. What's the fun in that? :P |

I'm enjoying Ardour. No MIDI sequencing which is a nice change as I have to record everything or use external sequencers. I will probably go back to FL or Logic though depending on how much money I want to spend on a laptop. I just find them quicker to work with. What was this conversation about again? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yeah. Stay away from Garage Band in my opinion when you have the infinitely easier to use Logic available. |
