FL studio is pretty simple but you can do complex things with it, although I'd say Reason is much better especially since they've focused more on live recording which is still pretty simple in FL.
I'd still say you need Cool Edit/Audacity if you use FL studio to make highest quality sound.

I have to disagree that FL studio is "pretty simple" <_<
Of course, now I don't experience any problems with it and writing music for me is like painting for an artist. But still I do remember the first time I launched it (it was good old Fruity Loops 3.56) - I was really shocked!!! And also I know lots of people who still either don't want to use FL or aren't able to make something more or less reasonable with it because of its complexity!


And I agree that FL Studio lets you create very complex things, and that in order to do really lovely things you still need other soft (as you say CoolEdit, or, as I've mentioned in previous posts, SoundForge and others).

Well if you compare FL to other music programs (except E-jay and such crap, but that I don't count), it's fairly simple, I've been using it since 2.72 and I was able to pick up the basics in a day or two.

Well, that does it - you say "compared to other music programs"!
You know, when you say something like "programming MFC applications using wizards is simple compared to programming them without wizards" you don't mean that programming MFC applications is simple in general, do you?
So, even if FL is simple compared to other programs (which is not true not only for eJays and such crap ) this doesn't mean that it's simple in general!

@ Shadowlord, you are loosing it dude, give it a rest k:

Else...

I don't know why you people diss eJays so much. I myself made my first song in a demo of Dance eJay 2 back in the stonage You know, it had to start somewhere. I mean, if some kid decides to do some music, an eJay or some other "arrange-the-cutoffs" program is best way to get started.

eJay is as simple as it going to get, so the little n00b can learn how to arrange patterns, how to organise the instruments, how to build up a song, what cut-offs sound good together and stuff like that, that he couldn't (or with enormus efforts) learn in a high-end studio like FL, because that is just too advanced for that. FL Studio takes basic music skills for granted and don't have tutorials for absolute n00bz.

The key is to always develop you skills. Don't stop at the eJay age. When I felt my talent is maxed out in eJay, I went to find some more challanging stuff...and I ended up in Fruity Loops 1.4 then came FL 2, then 3...and now I'm in the FL Studio 6 XXL Producer edition with extra plugins and side-programs k: Who knows what's next...

Hmm.. Well, FL studio 6 is practically the same program with added features.

FL Studio is very easy to use, but I don't like it because I have a more multitracking-based approach to music creation and my sound is close. You can multitrack with FL Studio if you have ASIO, but it's not the best multitracker. Also FL Studio keeps you close to the mouse, even if you use MIDI controllers.

Less easy-to-use music software than FL Studio (but a lot more interesting IMO): Reaktor, PureData/MaxMSP. Actually, PureData is somewhat difficult to do anything with, but if you can use it then you can do anything.

More professional than FL Studio (i.e. used by more well-known producers): Ableton Live.

Hearsay: As far as I can recall, the guy "Jeskola" who developed the Buzz tracker entered into a deal for money with Imageline (the FL Studio people) to stop development of Buzz. In the early days, FL Studio contained some Buzz code - I don't know whether that's still the case. Ever since then, he's claimed that he "lost" the source code for Buzz. But I distinctly remember the allegations in the early days, connecting him to a deal with Imageline. If the allegations are true, then it's likely he's not supposed to talk about it. I don't know whether the allegations were true, but I do know they were made.

Trackers rule, because it's open source music. Other people can see your creativity and talent before their very eyes: there's no mystery and you didn't use hidden tricks - the playing board is level. I wonder how many FL Studio users are horizontal trackers, in their compositional style.

Personally, I use Audacity for recording/mixing, and Hydrogen for drums - but both of these have already been mentioned.

The only significant program I use that I haven't seen spoken about here is the brilliant Psycle. It's an open-source tracker/sequencer with full VST2 support - and I swear by it.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/psycle/ <- Check it out and see what you think.
