A lot of people (mainly Reason users ;) ) are quick to denounce Fruity Loops as a "Toy" and say that it is not a serious music creation program. I personally disagree - When you start playing around with softsynths and VST plugins, the piano roll score and custom instruments made in drumsyn there is a lot you can do. I also think that the limitations fruityloops imposes actually benefit you as they make you focus more and spend less time on less important elements of the track. What are your opinions on this? |

I actually thought Fruity Loops was a breakfast cereal when I first heard it mentioned here! Hehehehe! *Sorry......* |

FruityLoops is the shit. I will probly still be using it 10 years, even though i probly have all the good hardware-stuff. It has all the goodies, and it's right in the tip of your fingers |

Fruity loops... sounds like some gay circus action... |

Fruity Loops is by no way imaginable a mere toy |

Could a Reason user (I'm not being aggressive here- just interested) please tell me what it is that makes Reason so much more "professional", apart from the price? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm guessing it does more professional stuff! |

Fruityloops is the most flexiable piece of audio creating equipment (software) that i've ever seen!! its great! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't really see how anyone can justify describing Fruityloops as a "toy". I use Fruityloops and Reason, and although I'm currently using Reason more (just for a bit of a change really), I would say that Fruityloops is the more flexible piece of software by a long, long way. |

Does anyone know of any "pro" artists who use Fruityloops? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've been thinking of that myself. I actually think that going pro with FL, requires a skill to change the "standard-sound" of FL. I really think that it could be possible |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think Orange Dust is pretty close to getting that sound |
||||||||

My multimedia lecturer said that someone charted using it a while ago. He didn't know who though... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Fruit Loops is the King and the Queen and the entire royal court...nay sayers are just jealous gearwhores who spent too much on the "real" software and now are bummed that they sound shit compared to a shareware |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, that's the thing- musical talent aside, people seem to get better sounds out of floops... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's the endless possibilites..mate..sooo much you can do..and then another version comes out..argh I am goin insane from the possibilities..:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree with you, Ceri JC. I originally had the impression that Friuty Loops was amateurish and pretty basic, but now I know better. I know of tons of professionals who use it! |
||||||||
|

try here hedphelym http://www.mp3.com/wremaXd most of the stuff is Flooped...by the people on this thread:) |
||||||||
|

I think it's because of the interface- most of the functionality is hidden. You have to delve to find the good stuff. It works well as it eases you in to using it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

good point..takes forever to find all the beuat features... |

Everyone takes the piss when I say I used Music 2000 on the PS to create my music. Until they hear it that is. Whether it's good or not I think I took the PS program to a new optimum level, maximizing the abilitys and proving it is not just a PS game. Comments or would you like to cuss my music now you know where I made it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, lots of people here like your music (I intend to listen to it ASAP). I don't think people should think any less of it because of the s/w you used/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

It's not a toy, it's a tool and a flexible one too. The gearsnobs probably didn't explore the program enough or used it for the wrong purpose. One program can't do everything. Fruityloops has a great set of features for a good price. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The people who label fruityloops as a "toy" are the people who have just forked out a fuck load of cash for there equipment that fruity could do :P |

I've only ever made music with the Music games on the Playstation, and I think a lot of the stuff I've made sounds very good. I'm very very keen to hear your music Chri5py... |

Goto http://www.mp3.com/chri5py then! Straight away! :) I'm waiting for MTV Music Generator for the PS2 to come through the post. I've heard that once you get used to the interface, its great, 'specially with the sampling kit you can buy.... The poormans music making kit! LOL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Just been there Chri5py! And bookmarked your site for more visits. I very much enjoyed Final Day, Kwork and Ekim Project. I really want MTV Music Generator for the PS2 but I can't find it anywhere! Oh yeah, the chance to record your own samples *drools* I have one question. How did you get your tracks from the Playstation to the computer? I would love to put some of my stuff up in the web! |
||||||||
|
|

it's easy... get your self a scart output cable (for your PS) which has audio cables attached near the opposite end of the scart head. the scart goes in the tele and the cables can be plugged into a small adapter. this should fit into the "line in" socket in the back of the PC. Use Musicmatch to record. Nearer the time of recording, email me and I'll help you if you have probs... Try Ebay for MTV MG for the PS2... That's where mins coming from. LOOK OUT FOR A DARKER ALBUM FROM ME WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR! |

Apologies for the dire writing skills shown in my last post. |

That's wonderful Chri5py! Thank's for the excellent info :) |

hey chri5py, who's mike krowyak? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Almost.. my brother is Mike. Kay work was to do with someone I know called Kay (Kate). The title is a mix of the two songs these people inspired me to create; Mike and Kay, Ekim Project (Mike Project) and Kwork (Kaywork) yea? ;) |

A toy? Toys are supposed to be fun. Isn't music making supposed to be fun too? |

I couldn't really give a shit how you make your music Chri5py, it sounds good to me. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've never heard your music Chri5py, but I'm in the same boat as Manic, if it sounds good, then I don't give a damn about what you used to make it. |

I'm going to go home and fire up fruity loops with crystal softsynth and MAKE SOME NOISE!!! |

Last night I started (and nearly finished) a pretty good SAW 2 style track. Mainly 3 different softsynths, but loads of background music going (very) very quietly that you have to really listen for. I read an article on synths yesterday which confirmed a lot of what I had learned myself, but cleared up a few things. It seems to have made my synth programming a lot better "overnight". Can anyone recommend any good tutorials on synth theory? URLs perhaps? Thanks :) |

"Does anyone know of any "pro" artists who use Fruityloops?" Hellfish, Dan Hekate, Somatic Responses, Heretik, and Sonic Belligeranza have admitted to using Fruityloops. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
...they DO use fruityloops i should say, i made it sound like a crime with "admitted" then. |
||||||||
|

I love the TS404, I used to only use simsynth as I found it easier to get "nice" sounds out of it. However, I think the TS404 is good for getting a wider range of types of sound now that I've mastered (sounds a bit egotistical ;) ) it. Which are other fruityloop users favourite softsynths? |

Me too :D |
