Using FL Studio
Posted by rofl106 on Nov 11th, 2007 digg this super bookmark
This is my first blog, and it is for anyone who thinks FL Studio is just a toy DAW that really isn't proffesional. I was talking to a guy the other day who has a studio and he was saying how Reason was so great and everything. Also a few people on this site mentioned how Reason was better and provided a larger sound than FL Studio. My point is:
What you put in is what comes out.
So I mean sure, a lot of my music sounds pretty small and shriveled compared to other people's music. But I'd like to add that I really didn't know much about mastering or mixing back then. (Mastering is still a problem to me) And you can't tell me that you don't have to master tracks on Reason or Cakewalk or Pro Tools, because you do. There isn't anything that automatically detects and lowers frequencies and raises them and still has the mix sound good. Sure my track might have sounded a little bigger with Reason if I hadn't mixed and mastered it in Reason. But once you mix and master things in FL Studio, it goes up to the same level as Reason or Pro Tools.
Anyways that's my rant, and if anyone wants proof just listen to:
(and unfortunately that rap song by Soulja Boy Tellem was made in FL Studio. It even used a lot of the default samples... lol)

Speaking as Pro Tools user and getting to grips with FL Studio lately I would have to agree and disagree with you.
Whilst Pro Tools is a vastly more powerful tool than FL Studio in terms of what you can do with Audio. It's a lacking alot in MIDI which FL Studio has a very strong background in.
In terms of Mixing it is much easier to mix in Pro Tools as things are clearly put out compared to FL which is a little annoying with the layout of its mixer and inserts (They are all so bloody tiny)
I actually like to combine both together through Rewire as I am in love with FL's beat chopping which is something you can't do in Pro Tools.
My point is that FL studio is not a toy (There is where I agree) but does have severe limitations but when added with other larger DAW's it can become an invaluable tool.
Also too many people use it on a very basic level, I have seen some really amazing stuff used in FL but a lot of people play it safe with it.
Yeah, I think it gets most of its bad wrap because it attracts too many people who don't ever follow through and keep at it. Also, I'm curious, as you say Pro Tools is more powerful for what you can do with audio, in what way. Because FL Studio is only $400 and you can get a lot of stuff with the leftover from what Pro Tools actually costs, especially if you already have a suitable computer to work with. My argument is that FL Studio would surpass anything Pro Tools could do if one were to spend equal amounts of money, because of all the VST's you could buy with the leftover.
However, not having actually used pro tools before, I'd like to hear what you think about this.
