Yea, Yea, I know, its a newbie program. But it seems to have pretty deep capabilities. I was wondering, if anyone really knows the limit to its power, could something like Aphex Twin - 4, really be created with fruityloops, it seems as though it would be possible with a lot of work, maybe not. If not, what are its limitations?
Secondly does anyone know where I can get a good tutorial for FL, online or otherwise, or if I really shouldn't shouldn't shouldn't be using Fruityloops, what other program should I be getting (that I can learn fast)?

when you get good at that try reason. its a more profesional prog with better capabilities. if you have the know-how and patience you can do just about anything with it.

oh no fruityloops isn't so much a newbie program... ok I guess it is. but really it kicks the ass of any hardware groove box, and it makes drum programming super easy. and yes technically it would be possible to do ... er what was it... aphex twin thing... yeah, it's really quite possible. I still use it, occasionally, and combined with acid it's really super. so go right ahead and loop your fruit!

i dont prefer loop programs because there isnt much room for orriginality.
on reason you can build your own beats from scratch. i comes with drum machines synths and samplers. tons of effects.
delay. envolope. reverb. flanger. tons of mod wheels! and the step time system on it is super easy to use. i recomend it to anyone!

well i started out on acid. i used to brag so much, thinking i was making top shit. i used the 'i zoom in and chop up the beats to make them my own' excuse.
then my friend showed me reason. its more hands on and complicated, but i like the music ive made on reason better than anything i ever made on acid by 110%.

DblHeLX : just coz its loop based doesnt mean you cant write songs without things repeating.
on FL you can also build your own beats and you can download the samples of drum machines and use them (it used to come with an 808 pack, dunno if it still does)
there are tons of effects you can use on FL too. easily. VST plugins, sir.
if you BUY the program you get soem real nice ones free. and the recording system is a piece of piss to use aswell. you can edit it real easy and since its pattern based you can shift the tweaks to wherever you want em (ie if you wanna add an intro to the song after youve already done the tweaks) or repeat them when you want.

oD thanks for the tip, never knew you used FL for your tracks, did you use FL for your Start As You Mean to Go On remix?
I need to start figuring out how to do a lot of the stuff you are talking about...
I wrote a real nice ambient drum and bass loop today and then I realized the tune was a total rip off of a boards of canada song I heard once, wierd how it sticks in the back of your subconscious like that...

I wonder if the people who say fruity loops is shit are the people who have not discovered it's full potential.
I am not a big fan of reason, cos I do not have time to find out all of it's hidden little nuances.
Does anyone know where I can get fruity loops 3 for free at ?
Many thanks Teeth

hehe yair. i'm not really DEFENDING it, just making sure everyones aware that you can do lots of stuff with it that doesnt seem obvious straight away.
yair i used fruity for the afx remixes. one of them has like 2 or three drum samples, thats it, the rest was a bunch of bits n pieces soudns i has lying around etc....
the drum samples are pretty fuckgin obvious, too :)

Fruity Loops looks a bit like a newbie program, but I must admit this program
is a semi-pro one. It's just fun to work with and don't forget you can make your songs sound like almost anything with the right FX (VST & FL FX).

Hey Xantos.
Fruity can be the most god awful peice of shit, I hated it for two years. Eventually I started using it, and now after 2 or 3 more years I can make some amazing stuff with it [especially version 3.x]
Fruityloops is great, if you have the creativity to whip the thing into shape...
Grab my email or aim name [off my site] and I'll answer all yo fruity questions- and hook you up with a free copy, heh.
Oh, and to the people talking about buzz... I used buzz, yeah, You can get some really neat sounds out of it, but it's really cumbersome and has an awful note input wangdang.
I've only used reason a few times, and couldn't stand the thing...
If you wanna get really hardcore, use Reaktor, but that'll take a hefty time to learn how to use.
Okay, cya :D
Again, email or aim me.

so far, i have been most effective using this combination of programs:
fruity loops 3 with all the synth progs. acid soundforge t-racks
i write basic loops and synths with fruity loops because i don't have any keyboards.
i plug em into soundforge to tweak em i edit and arrange in acid and add more effects. frequently dump stuff back into soundforge from acid to add more effects.
master using t-racks to give that warm organic sound.
any program... even the "techno in a can" programs can be awsome depending on how you use it.
i find that my composing is usually helped rather than hindered when i limit myself in some way i.e. shit programs, lack of keyboards, holding my breath etc...
its like haiku or something

you should try using step time progs for syth replacement. those are by far the most accurate.

as i said earlier reason has a great step time interface. in case you dont know. step time is a system were you choose the length (whole half quarter etc..) of the note and place it on the scale shown on your computer moniter using the mouse.
its accurate as f*ck but is more time consuming than live playing, but equally rewarding.
im sure you can buy reason at guitar center or you could download it off the net if youre lucky.
the prog's price is steep (300+dollars). but it is pretty much like having a whole studio on your computer, so its way worth it. it has drum machines, samplers, synthesizers, mixers, tons of mods and sounds included, and these neat little matrix devises that you can plug into everything from volume to mod.
what really makes it stand out though is that you can flip the syths around and rearange the wiring , just like a real mixing board, and make some cool affects.
