FL Studio 6, any one use it?? Options

[Valo666]

Any one else out there use Fruity Loops Studio 6?? I got the program from my buddy. Its like a $600 music making program. Its sooo freakin hard to use, but its sooo freakin sweet. Ive made some pretty good dance beats so far, but im gonna try and make some more rap beats for my buddy. Hes a good rapper, good at writing lyrics, but cant make beats.

Any one else out there use the program/have any hints for making music?

I've messed around with Fruity Loops before. I think its easiest to lay down a good bass line and then add things in from there. my order i usually go in is

1. Bass line
2. something a little higher than the bass line (something not annoying)
3. other things for some fine tuning.

Ive been pretty happy with what i come up with using that method.

fl studio sucks. it only costs about 100bucks. its an entry level program, but it should teach you about step sequencing.

www.propellerheads.se = they make a program called REASON. i like it a lot more then fruity loops. they should have a demo you can download and try.

i personally use Steinberg's Neuendo as my main sequencing/recording/mixing software.

I use Fruity Loops 4. I also own reason, acid, cakewalk and a few others. I just find the graphical representation easier than simple wave form sequenceing.
BTW - I make industrial on it and I use almost no pre-recorded loops. Mostly I cut sounds out of anywhere and change them untill they are completely unrecognizable from the original sound. I want my music to sound totally original and I'm told it def does.

Sweet, some musicians!

I used to use FL3-4, they're fun.....I used to play arount with it alot and actually have some pretty neat stuff if anyone wants to hear it.

Right now I'm recording my drum tracks for the bands full album release. Our setup consists of ProTools 7, from there running a DigiDesign 002 console with the motorized faders, then we use an optical connection on the Digi to link to a Mackie 8-channel tube preamp, which allows us 8 additional inputs. We have a whole slew of mics to plug into that setup.....Rode NTK tube condenser, Rode NT5's, Shure SM81, some Neuman condensers and a TON of SM57s for guitar cabs, snare, etc. In addition we have some M-Audio MIDI interfaces that work beautifully with Logic Pro and Reason as MIDI plugins for ProTools. This is all run on either a Mac G5 with a 23" flat panel Mac monitor or through a Macbook, with mass storage on a LaCie 500GB external firewire drive.

I went to school for Music Recording so I'm a dork when it comes to this stuff. haha. Really I prefer to play though, I have much more of a passion and drive to perform than anything.
