FL STooodioooo!
For real though, I've used Reason AND Pro Tools, Sonar, earlier versions o Cakewalk, Acid, I f*s with Cool Edit strong (pre Audition, old school *shrug*)...
FL Studio has the fastest [FOR ME] workflow setup EVER... I can't come unglued from it. Couple thousand sounds and some VSTs later, shabaam.
(For the sake o conversation) I mean for me the Windows-style browsing is too much. I come online, cop some VSTs here, some sounds here n there, samples, kits etc., it's done for. But I'm being a lil biased, from learning on FL though. I used to think you could only record in certain DAWs and produce in others lol.
If you put the effort into it, you can get that sound outta FL. It might take a while if you're new to this. You actually have to know the difference first, then know how to GET that sound. That radio, CD quality that people used to talk about alot more. I've gotten to the point where I can slap different compressor FX on a song and hear the differences between them... hell, I think I've learned more about mixing in the last year than ever before, and I'm falling in love with the FL mixer. Damn thing's incredible, feels like playtime.
Drop the faders, raise em one by one... Throw the *slap* on the drums, cut highs, lows, mids... Chorus effects, phasers, EQ, reverb, delays... then the *sound* FX come in... whoa I get amped thinkin about it -
