I must admit, I´m really happy for FL Studio users - happy that I was wrong to be skeptical.
this thing looks amazing for the price and for FL Studio.
Let´s hope it´s not a 100% proprietary step sequencer thing and maaaaaybe could be used with other software/VSTs?
Any mention of compatibility with the iPad app?
I thought trap was all 808
Soulja boy kinda popularized using FL for trap. It like the go to for producing trap at this point. The very popular snare is totally an FL stock sound.
9th wonder also made it popular before he got into MPCs and Maschine. I wonder if propellerheads will write a script to allow it for step sequencing.
I don’t know that I’d call much of what 9th does trap music though.
No but he was writing boom bap with FL during the same time.
Gotcha, I was responding specifically about trap and the trap snare but yeah 9th was an FL guy.
FL is really hip-hop’s unsung hero
I just ordered mine now since it comes with FL Studio Fruity Fire Edition. Hopefully, there will be some sort of nice discounted upgrade path to the Signature Edition.
Sick!
I have no interest in being tied to a puter but it’s refreshing to see they didn’t over price. That’s a good deal for what you get.
I’ve been tempted by FL studio for a while - it looks so fast and fun to use. This controller is pretty cheap and is probably my gateway into the fruity world.
Slightly off topic, but has anyone made the move from Ableton live to FL studio?
if you’ve been thinking about it, do it. it’s a great daw with its own strengths. great compliment to whatever else you’re using
I’ve tried out FL a hand full of of times and as capable as it is the workflow was much too busy for me. Too many windows/menus and parameters to tweak. If you’re into having pretty much unparalleled control of everything in your DAW, it’s an awesome choice, but for those like me I much prefer the minimal approach of Live. Although it this was around 3 years ago at the same price before I started using Live, this would have been a top priority for me.
I still have a copy that I basically just use for ZGameEditor for making 3D visualizations.
I haven’t used fruityloops since 1999-2002. Should check out the current incarnation some day I guess… IIRC fruity was among the first stepsequencers that had microtiming, at least the version I was using at the time had it.
Having checked out the promo video of fire controller, I must admit that fingerdrumming on the fire ctrlr looks awkward. The buttons is way to small! I’d probably use it just for stepsequencing myself.
Been meaning to buy this script since it was announced. Might grab it tomorrow
I’ve been interested in getting this and the script simply for a more portable ableton set up. My Launchpad pro is great but the lack of knobs does get in the way.
Saw this posted on KVR forum, buy Akai Fire new without any software for 99 euros.
