FL studio.

Has anyone used FL (Fruity Loops) here?

I tried my hand at it once, but it failed. Also, £500 for a music making programme- sheesh.

I thought about using it. I'm a musician, y'know... and I just thought maybe I could do a few cool things with it.... but for the price, I never thought about it seriously.

Besides, I'm the kinda guy who plays Punk Rock with an Accordion (which I actually have done before).... I just don't think FL studio could let me do stupid stuff like that, right?

Believe me, it can do stupid stuff. But again, with me price is the issue. For me to get the "basic" works it would be £289. Well out of my budget.

Do you have any mixers, decks, turntables?

No, but I have a little recording studio that has Guitars,Basses,Drums,Accordions,Microphones,Trumpets,Keyboards and of course, the Recording Hardware itself.

(All of the above is worth roughly $4000.00)

The Recording Hardware has a mixer built in to it and a little CD drive so you can burn disks right on to it. Other than that, that's all the equipment I got....

Awesome. So do you want to Moderate all sections?

Nope... I sent you a P.M. about it, check your inbox.

Hmm, I'm still getting to grip with all the new buttons and the way it is layed out. I am used to urb. Also like the scroller ato of the page?

Yes. It's a nice touch. Now that I think about it, you should use that to display Forum news. You know how like Bersimon is SUPPOSED to do it every 2 weeks? (shame on you Bersimon for not doing your job on time) But you understand what I mean right?

Anyway, I just thought that would be cool. You think about it.

That would be cool... BTW I am going to make a section for the mods to talk in, you know about forum rules, cases (bannings) etc.

Alright man, thanks.
I appreciate what you've done to the "Rock" Forum, adding subcategories and all...

No problem.

I have a recommendation. Have any of you guys heard of a piece of software from Apple called "Garageband". I've heard it's really good, and plan to purchase it myself when I have enough to buy a laptop

Well, do you have a link and can you tell me where to buy it?

Thanks.

I wouldn't know. I've only heard of it. I'll have a look. Give me ten minutes

Kk

Have you ever used FL, though?...

No I haven't. Is it good?

It's OK. But the thing is it' so hard to use, you have to have a musical background...

That's reasonably priced. Starting at £70 and then £30 for expansion packs, good deal

Yeah. I don't do techno though. I write songs. Lyrics only at the moment, but hoping to mix vocals in with Garageband audio to create music

Awesome

I make techno mostly

I guessed that
Are you good??

I'm OK. But I only have trial versions of soft are and can' save my work.

I am thinking about buying VirtualDJPro, though.

So I will mix songs

garageband, yeah my friend has it on his MAC, very cool, i learned my first guitar lessons there..

Wow, you can learn the Guitar on a Mac?

Yeah, should be able to pick up most instruments. It's a very varied programme
