Why do people use older versions of FL Studio?

I probably will, but I haven't even had time to create a drum pattern on it yet!
 
if you're a sampler i don't see why u wouldn't want edison. it made sampling w/ fl a lot more efficient and quicker with better results.

'cause you already have an audio editor and you know it backwards and forwards.

I have no need for Edison 'cause I already have SoundForge. I've been a SF user since 1997, I know it backwards and forwards. What is Edison going to give me that I don't already have?

Direct sampling within FL, drag'n'drop from Edison to sampler/granulizer/slicer channels from within FL itself without needing to first save stuff somewhere then load it in FL, hence improving workflow and ease of use. Just to name 1 out of 1000 of the advantages.
Of course, if one does not like it from the start, you can name even all of the 1000 advantages and they would all still not be good enough. :D

You still need to change its strings once a while or wax / paint the body if it starts to look shabby... and so on. That's somewhat the nature of updating to new versions. ;)

You got me there.

Edison is like the most underrated tool, the potential is amazing. I don't think people realize what they can do with it.

VSTis in this case come in like stuff you put into the corpse of the guitar e.g. to make it sound different. Or like that metal tube thing I've seen people use to slide on the board of the guitar. Or like getting electric pickups to be able to pass the sound of their guitar directly.....
They're enhancements of what you already got

Edison I know will be better than the BeatCreator, but since FL made it so you have to route through the mixer, I'ma have to take a different approach since the 7 version won't let me record externally with the set up I had previous.
 
no need to shout. But... why? Why won't FL7 let you "record externally"? But it is part of FL7s functionality. really.
I think I'm just getting something wrong again. Sorry if that's the case.

You know I'm not sure Sqito. When I had FL 4 it worked perfect, same setup. I may have to go through again & make sure everythings hooked up right.
 
I upgrade everything i got, newer isn't always better, but at the same time, you want to stay current. I love the new FL features. The lower sequencer, better ASIO support, Edison, smoother timestretch and slicer, better FXs.

While on the subject, I can't understand why everyone else is still using Cubase SX3 after the bugfixes for Cubase 4. You guys are missing out on alot of amazing new features.

'cause legitimate users really have to pay for it.
SX3 still has, from what I read all over the Web, a *lot* of bugs.
Steinberg won't fix those anymore. They just simply released Cubase 4, cease SX3s development and expect everybody to pay for damn bugfixes (buy CB4). That's the way Steinberg treats their customers.

I'm not a Cubase user, never knew. It's just most studios I visit still use Cubase SX. So, you're telling me they had no upgrade package? I'm not being a smartazz, sincerely asking, I never knew this.
 
<b> >> so it really is true, i've noticed alot of people say steinberg act like they really dont give a Shiz.</b>

If there's no serious money involved they all propably won't.
Ask 50 if he really likes and listens to the stuff he makes.
 
to me...some of the visual/cosmetic features bother me, they tried to make it a little too fancy when what they had going was working perfectly

Just like me not experiencing any serious hickups [bugs] with FL lately, there are some who are
(not so) happy Cubase users too. (no matter which version) [there's no bug-free software. did I already mention that? ^^]
But there are people whose setup don't work all the way.
As I told. I only have the "FL experience" so far. But read a lot about people complaining about all sorts of bugs in SX2, 3, even Cubase 4 all over the place.

I'm pretty sure though one can find Steinberg staff ignoring users all the way. (And I've read some of the concerns people have there. really. Just for the sake of boredom and..... trying to figure out what I'm probably missing. What I still haven't found..

I should wait at least 10 minutes before writing an answer. I apologize for all the editing.

i tried fl7 and it had a bug for one of the tools i use so i went back to 6 even tho they have since fixed the bug im sticking with 6 its what i know so why change?
 
It's also a matter of need. In the case of Steiny, they will have an upgrade package but the cost to upgrade is not always justifiable for all users, particualrly if the bugs are not replicated to all users. I still use SX 3 because I have not have the problems some have had. Until then, I'll stick with SX3. On the other hand, there was a time when I just wanted the latest and greatest, forgettting that it's about the music and the creative process. These constant upgrades sometimes get in the way of that.
