Any FL Studio 10 users? DAW's,VST's, and Sample Packs

Glad you liked it OP, but you really should learn a more pro DAW so you can run FL in a slave mode through it or run your sounds through good external gear. FL has a very distinguishable and a bit amateurish sound. Ableton has a far better and advanced sound engine, but is has a distinguishable compressed sound too, not as FL though. For the DAW's you mention i use Ableton some times in a slave mode to Logic Pro, tt's far better to get your initial idea running with it, but always do the serious stuff in Logic, Pro Tools and outboard stuff. What kind of music you are interested in producing?

Thanks for the feedback. I have heard great things about Logic Pro. I am currently into Electronica/Dub but your right FL seems to sound a bit amateurish. It also seems to have problems when I layer 3x OSC, and will glitch out when I have multiple complex patterns running. I just got the Z3ta+2 plugin and am having problems with that as well. So I'm guessing I need to Slave it as you said through a more professional DAW. What would you recomend for this type of music? Again thanks for the reply!

use sony acid pro and NI's massive

everything you need right there.

Thanks for the link

Do you currently use this DAW?

I was looking at NI's Massive and they have some sweet sample packs I would like to get my hands on. But this shit is starting to add up in the wallet department. That's why I am asking advice before I roll out the cash.

IMO Logic is much better than FL.

download the programs through torrent, if you going to be making money off what you produce then you need to buy the application.

Thanks Wonkish.

just had a quick check of this, with the sws extension pack, it seems nice!!

Thanks for the advice. I will do that.

I know right?! I had never even heard of this DAW until now.

Thanks for the link. I have seen this mentioned as well

What kind of music do you produce Wonkish?

Logic pro on a mac and Nuendo/cubase on a pc would be my choice for the master DAW. A proper Pro Tools system is far more expensive for now. You can use all the other ones in rewire/slave mode and get flavors from all the other sources(FL/Ableton) you have. FL is buggy with external plugins and the audio support is a bit of a joke too. You'll need a daw with good audio support for this kind of music coz you ll have lots of FX returns and stuff. Z3ta is a good vst, but my best suggestion/advice is to a learn a sampler vst very good so you can manipulate the sound to your desires, especially for original dub stuff you gonna need a good sampler and some good samples and loops. All proper daws have a good sampler but imho the Ableton sampler is the best. Regarding vst's have a look at the Trillian Bass and Omnishpere from Spectrasonics. They are expensive as fuck i know, but you won't need another vst purchase anytime in the future and the quality of the sounds is the best you can get in the market imho for countless music genres, download the demos for a start you won't get disappointed, best purchases i've ever made.

btw sonic foundry made the sony audio products.

Thank you so much! This was the advice I have been looking for in other Forums but didn't get much of a response. Really you have helped tremendously. And it seems you know your shit when it comes to this. So thank you and if there is anything you would like to add to this thread please do! I know there are some people here who do this but I could not find a descent thread on it.

I use fl with all the packs, plug ins etc, not as good as ableton but it is good. I'm producing heavy metal and blues, and haven't had any problems layering, mixing, or mastering.

Do you use this DAW? I really appreciate everones responses. I am pretty new to all of this so every bit of info is very helpfull.

Thanks for the feedback Erik. I'm just curious: What kind of VST's and sample packs do you use? I am a metel head as well and would like to dable in that as well!

Just my opinion, but 'Bitwig' looks like it could be worth waiting for-

yes that is what i use.

i also have ableton live and fl 10.. i always end up at dead ends with those.

Looks pretty bad ass.

Glad i can help a fellow musician out, the knowledge is for sharing. Professional music producer/sound engineer for about 10 years now, i could talk for days about these things, bump this thread anytime you 'll need help with something.

Thanks for all the responses

Please at anytime add to this thread. I'm sure I'm not the only Noob on the block.

You need LFOs that clock to MIDI for dubstep, and a real Roland space echo for dub. I use Logic 8, but without a decent audio interface it sounds crap !
Consider buying some height of the last tech wave, it's cheap, and has the character you'll be busy trying to recapture once you suss everything on the DAW is going through the same interface..

Thanks I will You have been much help.
