...doesn't probably know how to mix worth a damn.
There are people who take his stuff, mix it, and MAKE IT top of the pops/
That's why the program you make your music with is irrelevant. If you get the attention of majors, THEY will mix whatever you cook at home to something radio-listenable
if ever... but that's another quest.
That's what I'm talking about.actually 9th Wonder doesnt mix his own beats. he has someone do it for him. there are few named producers who do this. Alchemist is one of them.
OH GOD NO... its a Zombie thread!!!

Reading through this thread made me laugh.
For the millionth time, it's not what you use - it's how you use it.
I've been working on music since 1997 with Rebirth on the computer. Since then I've tried just about every piece of software out there and I also own several pieces of outboard gear.
My opinion: While softsynths will never be able to fully recreate the "sound" of certain hardware instruments, going fully digital makes a lot more sense unless you have a ton of money to spend. Personally, FL Studio is my favorite DAW. I never really cared for Reason because of it's GUI. Cakewalk/Sonar/Nuendo have a bunch of features that I don't need whatsoever.
FL just makes sense to me. I rarely, if ever, have issues with it. I've been using it since the early days and I'm still finding out new things that I didn't know about. In fact, I can honestly say that this program taught me more about producing than anything else. When it comes to making tunes on your computer, it's not the DAW that matters. It's the freshness (not as in NEW) of the sounds you use and your overall creativity.
In my opinion, DJ's and beatmakers are dime-a-dozen these days. A lot of people on these forums claim to be hit-makers, etc. (And a lot of you are full of sh1t...) The reason why FL Studio gets trashed a lot is because so many people have computers and internet these days, and I'd say the vast majority of FL users probably don't know much about audio, midi, production, or even how to play an instrument. This is because most of the users just snagged a bootleg from somewhere and realized they are too dumb to fully grasp how to craft a quality song/beat from beginning to end.
If I personally had to pick only one piece of audio software to use, it would definitely be FL Studio. But this is personal preference. My sound is very techno-oriented and I can see how someone might want to use something like Sonar, etc; for something more melodic. And FL is always adding new features that I never even knew I wanted. And lifetime free updates is a pretty damn nice plus too.
I used to have a MPC. Then I sold it because I realized that I could do everything a MPC can do within FL with a midi controller. It seems to me that the ratio of people that claim that hardware is better than software is directly proportional to their knowledge of production.
If you have the money and the knowledge, yeah, hardware (I'm talking analog synths here) will generally have a fatter sound. But when you talk bang-for-the-buck, FL Studio is a no-brainer. I'd recommend it to anyone, regardless of what style of music they want to make.
Truth is, once the music is mixed, you can NEVER tell the difference.
depends on the equipment and if u know the sound of it too. truth be told it shouldnt matter anyway hot is hot and as long as u r mixing with software generally it will all be the same.Truth is, once the music is mixed, you can NEVER tell the difference.
You cant go anywhere using fl. It doesnt sound as good as all of the other programs and no one respects it. You cant even make good beats in it. You need to go buy an mpc or a Triton.
