MGR/slimpickings « Fruity Loops FL Studio 8 Producer Edition »
Published on 06/04/09 at 15:00I still call this Fruity Loops but the company seems to have gone all professional image so now they've shortened it to FL Studios. Whatever name they want to give it, the software is still a terrific program. I've been using Fruity Loops for years but this is the version I'm currently working with.
The range of abilities covered is incredible but my favorite features are the piano roll and the drum sequencer. This is by far the easiest drum sequencer I've ever tried so it's perfect for beginners but it's complex enough that it's great for professionals as well.
Probably the best feature is that FL Studio 8 is compatible with VST fx and instrumental plug-ins. This vastly enhances your customization and the capabilities of the program. I really don't think I would find the program half as useful without the VST compatibility.
The one thing that I don't care to use FL Studio 8 for is recording my vocal tracks. While producing clean sound, the depth is lacking. It's best for the instrumental portion of your tracks.
This is one of the most full-functioned production software programs at this low price point. Just about every other program I've thought about trying costs so much more that I don't bother. Why spend more when this program works so well?
