Ever used FruityLoops?

program website

has any TJ member had any experience using this sound creation program?

[digimon]

yup. its a pretty good Hardware replacement...

but let me tell you, FL studio is a VST Sampler/sequencer Host....which means other vST/ VSTi plugins can be used with it.

it's nice...but u gonna need samples of course....just like if u bought an MPC 2000xl or 3000

the more Samples and Plugins u have, the sweeter FL studio (fruityloops) gets

yup, i love this program. i use it for when i'm practicing my guitar.

Yeah a friend of mine had it and it was pretty cool but now he has another program (can't remember the name)

but let me tell you, FL studio is a VST Sampler/sequencer Host....which means other vST/ VSTi plugins can be used with it.

excuse my ignorance but what exactly is a VST Sampler/sequencer Host?

excuse my ignorance but what exactly is a VST Sampler/sequencer Host?

its a plugin architecture for instruments.
eg. when you have a electronic keyboard, you can press a button to change the way the keynotes sound....in some instances you can have drums, strings, flutes and so on.....
so some music guys will make up a bunch of instruments with totally unique sounds.
these are the vst intruments you hear about.
a host will chain them in and you get the sounds....

other host programs are cubase and logic......

so in essence, you could use logic and cubase vst instruments in your program....

there are some hardware ones but the cost is high...software compensates with its greater flxibility and cheaper setup.....

Try Sonar (http://www.cakewalk.com/download/default.asp#windows)

or Reason (http://www.propellerheads.se/index.cfm)

Trust me, next to those two, fruityloops is like wet toilet paper.

i Beg to differ..
