Features. Well, I didn't quite like all of the "extras" Like the ReWired and DX10 and even WASP. I just couldn't get it to do what I wanted and seemed to clutter up. This program is very complicated and has a fairly steep learning curve. Everything does something! This can work to your advange though. I would have liked to see more possibility with effects, and I found some sequencing elements got on my nerves but things like quantising and chopping makes Music FUN!

If you are familiar with this type of program, you shouldn't have much trouble, but due to it's complexity, FL Studio is hard to get the absolite most out of, especially with complicated generators. But things like the 3x oc are very user friendly, and the presets should last you a while. The interface is different, but not annoying. Everything works well together.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The sound quality is superb. Now, I am talking about the (IMO) BEST feature of the professional pack. Styrus. But some of the presets and things it can do are VERY CPU intensive. I would recommend installing an AISO driver to minimise latency. The Only thing I have to criticize is most of the drum samples. They just sound too ....unprofessional. I use this for electronica and It is one of my favorite programs.

Never had a problem, but I have horribly messed up some saves because I was editing in the wrong pattern or something. I would have liked to see more undo levels but this is definitely a professional tool.

OVERALL OPINION

I have to love it. I have ever since I got into it, I am using it mostly to create just tracks for fun or mess around and It's awesome. I have reccommended it to all of my friends! It has EVERYTHING I need. My favorite is of course, styrus, the FM, RM Generator behemoth. I love you Fl Studio, Will you marry me?
