Personally, things like Fruity Loops bug me, because I'm a musician, and I out in my time to learn to actually play some damt instruments.
It can seem like that's a bit elitist, as though guys like me are just upset because tools like FL make it easier for non-musicians to make music without and training.
Honestly it's that aspect of FL that appreciate the most. I don't think that making music is some special thing to be set aside only for people with 10 years of music lessons.
What concerns me is the extent to which FL seems to encourage people to never grow any further. People seem to be hypnotized by the idea that "XYZ got a hit wid FL, so I don't need nuthin' else", and that's a big problem in all sorts of ways.
I think this is why a lot of experienced people have a bad attitude towards FL.
At the same time people need to realize that making music isnt rocket science, you dont need to go do this and that for umpteen years, and use protools HD afterwards... not everyone have the money and alot of times people dont make music for the sake of putting it out and making money or for competition.
Yea i can play an instrument or 2, but so can alot of people this business isnt about talent or who's azz you kissed to learn nothing benificial... its more about a grind and a hustle, that little to knowone has, which is why most people dont make it... not because Fl studio,
if "EXPERIENCED" people want to have an attitude maybe they need to realize that this isnt about talent or how many instruments you can play, otherwhise they're in the wrong business maybe they should sign up for orchestra or a jazz band, but this is a world of technology now and its gonna get that way more and more as time go by...
i dont mean to get into anyones feelings or anything but i've seen so many pathetic comments and heard alot of peoples music that contradict they're theories,
if you can use it, use it, if you cant, dont... but dont get mad at the next guy if he makes money at the click of the mouse using a 100 dollar program, and you spent 20 years learning to play the piano drums, flute and fiddle and flew to columbia to do this and that, all that stuff doesnt even matter pimpin... just do you and make that money pimpin
at the end of the day if its hot and it sells then thats what it is so keep it moving and stop making excuses
