Image Line Electronic Music Sequencers

This program is fantastic, especially for the price. The earlier gripe about it being only for techno seems to miss the point. It is a sequencer/sampler, and it will play with whatever sounds you put into it. It will work well with any type of music. The bundled instruments are not really up to par with other 3rd party instruments, and I don't use them too much. But if you bring in your own samples, and some of your favorite VST instruments (such as Pro-52, or Reaktor), FruityLoops is Fantastic. Price paid 100 Amazingly easy to use, especially with the new version. Good ideas just flow when I'm using it. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE Sound is fine. I tend to use this program more as a scratch pad to work up ideas, and then move the project over to Cubase for further work and finalization. OVERALL OPINION I've been using it for years now, and getting the free upgrades all along, and it's gotten much better with each version. The FL Studio is a great leap ahead. It's one of the purchases in my life that I've made where I feel like I have gotten much more than I paid for. Great product.

Not enough good quality sounds available... Other than that, everything's perfect... You can record a sample using this with this new edition... Very easy. Besdies the waves part. i'm not talking about the format but the EQ part... SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE This is the best thing to start out with if you're making beats. It's just that the available sounds are not quite clean. So to get great sounds, make sure you get/make lots of samples... But still some sounds available are jus great as it is... Repaired? It doesn't need repairing... OVERALL OPINION I started using this and still love it for the unlimited possibilities. You can create the best beats to beat pros on this thing...

If there is anything missing u can just get it in vst form. its got a lot so I aint gonna say anything bad about this one. Price paid 300 THE BEST PROGRAM TO START WITH. u get a lot for ur money and u learn the process of recording and arranging beats, loops, etc. Good tool ta have under ur belt if ya ask me. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE Not bad at all but im not gonna bow down to it. some eople say its "this n that" but i still use Fl about twice a week for sample and I have no problems with the samples sound quality. Sound quality of the instruments that come with Fl are kinda weak but u just gotta tweak em. Software last..... OVERALL OPINION Like I said I love this program because it is easy to use and great for starting off. Nice sequencer so I still find myself using it for sample based beats. I got an Fantom X6 now and like I said I find myself still going bacc to FL every now and then. I'm also putting together a producing team and I throw them on FL while Im on the X6. peace Originally posted on FutureProducers.com Posted by: cwrite ( 6-, 2005)

The Features are Really really nice. From all the programs i've used before, this one is the only one that has all of the features i really need, and i don't have to be buying them from another place. The only I thing I have to say is that its missing some more dound pack. I think is very easy to use after you've been using it for 1 or 2 days. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE The Sound Quiality is very good.I've been using it for only acouple of months but i thinks its really great. Quality: I really have nothing to say about this because to me, it really looks well built. I haven't had any problems with at this time. OVERALL OPINION I really don't know how to explaine it,but its really great. It has all the features i need and want. Originally posted on FutureProducers.com Posted by: smerf1434 ( 2-, 2006)
