Image Line FL Studio 6 XXL

Image Lines FL Studio 6 is an older version of FL studio and is no longer being sold, I am pretty sure they are up to version 10 now. At the time when I had FL Studio 6 I thought it was a great program and it was. But Image Line has made some great changes to FL Studio. Especially to the play list and menu’s. Most of the other things really havent changed at all. But they do keep adding new stuff to FL Studio as the new versions come out, some of the changes are for the better and some for the worse. When I was using FL 6 I remember having a lot of fun with it, I don’t remember really completing many songs just because I felt limited by the mixer tracks and channels and I didn’t feel like they gave enough plug ins to use in the mixer tracks. Not saying that they don’t have the mixer plug ins available because they do have a lot of good ones but you will have to pay extra for them. They can get pretty expensive as well, up to 3 hundred dollars per new plug in. I think that’s just a sales gimmick from fl studio because they know you need more so they make you pay for it instead of just including it in the xxl version of fl studio.


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Fl Studio 6 worked great with my dell laptop and never crashed or had any problems. It was very stable even when running multiple plug ins, the free asio drivers kept my cpu pretty low..


OVERALL OPINION

Overall, fl studio will forever be around. If only they could just include some of the better plug ins with the program itself instead of trying to give you a trial version of it and up sell you on a new product every time. FL Studio 6 is affordable but all of the bells and whistles (plug ins) can get a little tedious trying to keep up with buying them. Fl Studio just wants you to buy buy buy, I still use FL studio to this day, but I wont be buying all of there plug ins.

Image Line Fl Studio has been the program that has everyone on the internet buzzing right now. It is extremely easy to use and to work in. The Midi editing is so easy you can just draw the notes in and you don’t need any instrument skills at al! The mixer is exactly what you need to get started with plenty of tracks. Fl Studio brings a great product to anyone just getting started. Setting up Fl Studio on a windows computer was absolutely easy. The manual was easy to understand, you couldn’t as for much more. Not to mention that the program is extremely affordable and does cost a pretty penny. There are latency issues, but comes with Asio so you can save a lot of CPU with that alone. You can create a masterpiece and track it out in .wav files or mix the whole song down to mp3.


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The programs configuration works great, I have been using Fl Studio since Fl Studio 3. It hasn’t let me down yet. It is ready to go right out of the box, they also offer lifetime free updates which is perfect. Not a lot of software’s do that for their buyers.


OVERALL OPINION

The thing I like the most is you can compose, record, and mix a whole song in the 1 single affordable program. Which is great, what more could you ask for. But I must say the stock sounds and presets that come with the program are very amateur, but on the good side you can hook any other piece of equipment up to this without a problem. I wouldn’t have it any other way, I would choose FL studio over any other software program for beginners. Once you start to advance, Fl Studio will advance with you, every update they come out with is amazing and makes so many changes for the better.

Nothing is missing imageline did a great job to incorporate everything it needed.imageline understood that so many companies produce vsts and keyboards and sound modules .so why watse time money on creating a sound engine when this software can accompany vsts midi out(keyboards or sound modules and rewire)its sampling capabilities rival that of an mpc. some users use the excuse that software doesnt have the warmtn as hardware does.BS you put in what you put out . the only thing that comes close to fl studio is the roland mv 8000.

very easy to use. youf have to be retarded to not understand whats going on. read the manual! manuals help alot when you need it . everything is pretty much slef explanatory.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Stock sounds are terrible but with the rewire function midi out and support of vsts you have best of all worlds!

its software the only thing that i dont like is the audio mixdown of your track.i dont know if its the algorythms of the prgram or simply the program itself it needs to be improved! but who mixes in fl anyway mix that shit in pt!!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The Sound Quality is Perfect........

Rock Solid(just like my MPC3000) On a P4 3.0 Ghz.

OVERALL OPINION

The Built of FL Studio XXL 6.0 Producers Edition is (in My opinion)Designed like the akai MPC3000.I control Record, Playback and Many other functions from my MPC3000 thats Daisy Chained to a Korg X5D.Its one of my Elements I use in Producing Hot Tracks.Now as far as loving it.It aint to that point yet.but who knows with FL Studio 7.0 around the corner.....all I got to say is...It doesnt substitute for the MPC3000 but as far as Loading sounds you never have to leave the Digital Relm.No More Disks to Load in the MPC3000 .Just load all your sounds to your Hard Drive and Control it all From your MPC3000!!!!Keep Making Music!!!
