it doesn't stop creativity... maybe you're blaming your problems on the program, and not the fact that maybe you stink? :) |

I think that fruity loops and all of the other software packages are great for the beginner/home musician but id sooner have some hardware like some drum machines and some synth sound modules n stuff! but it all comes down to money and personal choice in the end i suppose. |

bah drum machines are in the past... software is the future, maybe not fruityloops but logic/ cubase/ pro tools... hardware will be going the way of the dinosaurs, oh hear me yes... look at popular artists. there all using laptops and SOFTWARE. maybe the occasional sampler and midikeyboard/ controller. but software always. |

I happen to use the full version of Digi designs pro-tools in conjunction with my hardware and as for software being the future i dont think so maybe in the sequencing hard disc recording world but ill think you will find that the computers digital out put synths are alot weaker than the anolog synths! hell knows! whos right and whos wrong? |

you can make a good song with anything. just cause you couldnt get it to do anything you liked doesnt mean the program sucks. you do however need to stop using all of the preset sounds and start adding your own samples and loops to the mix. dont use the softsynths in it. dont use anything other than the blank canvas for sound and you can definetly get it to do some crazy stuf. heck.. i know a guy that makes professional music(and gets paid for it) using nothing more than hammer head tracker and cool edit. |

software haters: 1] aphex twin uses software. 2] creativity does not require hardware 3] software makes creating music accesible to everyone 4] software is easier to use that hardware 5] you can use software to do more than hardware 6] software is cheaper than hardware 7] software takes up alot less space than hardware 8] software is the future 9] you can get software anywhere 10] most artists use software in one way or another i am sick of the software haters. you guys are annoying. you don't software, i don't care. most people don't care. keep your software hating to yourself. |

although, hardware is better because in a live situation, you won't look bored.. i'm kinda neutral on the software vs. hardware debate anyway ie. i use software to create my tracks, then in live performances i recreate the music with hardware: keyboards, guitars, drum machines, effects etc.. od can back me up here, he's seen us (fragilenine) play live.. |

i dont hate software at all ......but fruity lopps is tooo easy to use.......its winkywanky.......you just download or CRACK (i dont know the fucking word) it. so many of these LOLguyies use it and think they were great musicians....you have to make DOGMAS......for example you have a mic a mixer a shitty drumcomputer and ai cassette recorder you can make your own style of music..... when you make a track with fruity loops and send it to rephlex you will get nothing but a laugh........ SEND ME YOUR MUSIC YOU MADE WITH FRUITY LOOPS .....maybe its irie and good and i am a fucking idiot but by the way......a lot of you like I CARE BECAUSE YOU DO from rich more than drukqs.....DRUKQS is just computer ICBYD is real analog !!!!!!!!!! |

yair i think what you use has only a small influence on how good the output is. the output has a LOT more to do with how much talent you have. i have a feeling a lot of ppl are probably making shit tracks and blaming their equipment for it, lol. i mean obviously if you use a stick and a rock youre not gonna be able to make an orchestral piece or anything. |

i think part of the hatred for this software is the "techno" look of it which i agree is slightly annoying. and the fact that it has alot of crappy sounds that come with it. but lets look at what it really can do -play samples and adjust any pitch pan filter or volume. -sequence entire songs -sequence or sync external gear -use vst and direct x effects (ie reverb, eq, delay) -use arpeggiators on any sample, or external gear. -the fruity slicer function is quite handy! (scratcher sucks so hard though!) -record progressive "knob" movements. -internal "knob" controllers (useful in so many ways if you knew the program well enough to use them properly) -use as many tracks and samples as your computer can possibly handle. im missing lots of stuff as well. what part of that arent you liking? i dont think its the best program out there but i use it all the time. its simple(thats a bad thing?) and its fun(important!) and it gets the job done damnit. |

i like fruity loops because it makes it easy to get the sounds from my head and onto the pc. to prove to myself that FL doesn't kill creativity. i imported some of the aphex midis on this site (avril 14th, kesson daslef, beetles) into FL, and you know what? it sounded just like aphex twin. the point is it doesn't matter what you use, all the decent progs are almost the same, and with all the VSTi, VST and DX plugins (and buzz instruments too) out there its not hard to make an orginal sound |

what difference does it make if you use samples in fruityloops to make your music instead of using a sampler and a sequencer? you'll still get the same sounds.. |

i dont hate- a. software b.people who use software my problem being that a.anolog is physicaly stronger in acoustic character compared with music made in the digital domain thus when playing back music made on a computer without the use of external anolog sound modules the signal is often realy flat! plus if you are using home stereo equipment i.e. amp and hifi speakers the music that you make wont even play true on any system if you havent mixed down on professional monitors and a studio amp! buy a professional audio engineers manual (huber and runsteins) modern recording techniques fith edition it has everything you need to know! |

i dont usually reply to these arguments as i have recently moved from just software to software/hardware based studio but i had to reply to this shite: 1] aphex twin uses software. yes, and aphex uses a whole lotta hardware too. whats that thing his mum said - richard you have soo many machines or something. 2] creativity does not require hardware true. but then creativity dosent require software either, that dosent mean you shud use a dustbin lid to make all ur music. 3] software makes creating music accesible to everyone hmmmmm id have to sort of agree as i started out on just rebirth. 4] software is easier to use that hardware no. thats crap. depends completely on the system, in fact id argue using hardware maybe simpler as you have faders/knobs all in front of u, rather than just 1 input being a mouse. 5] you can use software to do more than hardware no way!! hardware will always be more powerful, and sound better. for example, my sampler has 8 seperate outputs out the back - each going to its own channel in the mixer - so each can be eq-ed and sent to FX and mixed seperately... each machine doing what it has been built to do.... rather than an all in one box, with software patching which is sequencing/mixing/FX/EQ/ synth all at once whilst crashing. 6] software is cheaper than hardware nope! if you compare their prices properly (im not talking pirate software) cubase / reason / Halion are all f*cking expensive. 7] software takes up alot less space than hardware physical space yes, not memory. 8] software is the future ??? 9] you can get software anywhere not in afghanistan. 10] most artists use software in one way or another yep, and they also use hardware intensively. dont get me wrong, software is a f*cking inspiration, i love fruityloops for jamming due to its simplicity (drag n drop samples whereas with sampler not so easy), but compared to sampler/mixer/sequencer setup what it can do is VERY limited. creates good loops but in the end is a toy and i dont think ANY artist wud use it exclusively. execpt someone making cheesy house music maybe. :-) |

hardware and software are essentially equal, as what really matters is how they are used. As for Fruity Loops, it is far less limiting than is obvious, but it takes a bit of digging to find all the features. |

lol yeah sorry my reply did turn into a bit of an essay. yep they are equal, in that they compliment each other. u can do loads n loads on fruityloops, its my fave software, but i meant in terms of song structure it is limiting as u have to keep rigid in those loops, whereas in something like cubase u can timestrech n fuk up the time signatures and do lots of other poo like that. but fruityloops is definately FUN!!! |

I've been into gear (hardware) for at least 12 years and I can say that nothing is more exciting now than the software coming out. IMO this stuff is beginning to run circles around Hardware. The only difference now-a-days is every monkey on the planet is trying to become a techno star -- and so much of it is shit. "1] aphex twin uses software. yes, and aphex uses a whole lotta hardware too. whats that thing his mum said - richard you have soo many machines or something. " -Yes, but he also has stated that his goal is to get everthing done on a laptop and he's probably closer to that than ever before. "5] you can use software to do more than hardware no way!! hardware will always be more powerful, and sound better. for example, my sampler has 8 seperate outputs out the back - each going to its own channel in the mixer - so each can be eq-ed and sent to FX and mixed seperately... each machine doing what it has been built to do.... rather than an all in one box, with software patching which is sequencing/mixing/FX/EQ/ synth all at once whilst crashing." -You can do the same thing with a semi-pro audio card with seperate outs or virutal outs in Cubase. No difference. Fuck your soundblaster! "6] software is cheaper than hardware nope! if you compare their prices properly (im not talking pirate software) cubase / reason / Halion are all f*cking expensive." You telling us that you can buy all the functionality of the above (in hardware) for less than the price of software versions -- no way! Sequencer, bunch of synths and a sampler -- you're dreaming and obviously don't know much about either hardware or software (at least pricing). "7] software takes up alot less space than hardware physical space yes, not memory. " What does memory have to do with it???? "9) you can get software anywhere not in afghanistan." Or hardware obviously. |

Sequencer, bunch of synths and a sampler -- you're dreaming and obviously don't know much about either hardware or software (at least pricing). the total price would be similar. especially if you buy hardware second hand like i do, (which there is loads of, in my experience due to rich b*stards buying loads of kit then realising they havnt a creative bone in their body). i would much rather pay a little extra for so much better quality sound. are you really telling me that any top-of-the-range soft synth sounds better than a top-of-the-range hard synth? or soft FX sound anywhere near as crisp and cut as hardware FX? if so, u obviously havent heard much in ur 12 odd years as u claim. "7] software takes up alot less space than hardware What does memory have to do with it???? Everything! for any such computer dedicated setup you need a whole lot of RAM and processing power, if u dont want the thing to come crumbling down. |
