I've been using babby loops for many years now, god DAMN I hate it. Is Cubase much better? I do lots of note placing by hand, I don't do any audio recording and I work with samples usually. I'm planning on playing things with midi in the future though. Also why does fl constantly get shit on, is it because mostly retards use it?

Real men use Pure Data

Ableton / Pro tools are the best available.
I can't say much for Pro tools, but Ableton is great for sampling.
FL is shit on because it is shit.
>>57118950
Fl is fine
I use studioOne
its bretty good i guess, they all do the same thing
well except maybe weird ass freeware like Pure Data

I hate fl's automation it's fucking shit, and I hate needing to use one pattern because ghost notes don't exist in other patterns, I usually use extra patterns for non-pitched sounds.

Can you tell me more about "Pure data". It seems really interesting

It's the DAW for actual men, not nu-males.

Pro tools is hype since its closed ad platform and out of the box is lack luster. Logic is better but everbody is used to their own daws and daws dont mean much in the end. People even use digutal performer.
Reason is legit especially if your on windows and ableton is very customizable if you can script. Never use fruity loops though. Its trash especially when reason, logic and ableton do it better out of box
>>57119426
I meant to say Logic, not pro tools.
My bad.

>is it because mostly retards use it?
No it's because Skrillex was seen using it on his behind the scenes video when he made Breakin a Sweat with The Doors. Everyone went "OMG SONNY MOORE IS USING FL I NEED IT NOW!!! xD" after that and hyped FL to record cockbag levels.
I've seen Logic Pro being used a lot in the music industry. If you don't have a Mac, try Pro Tools.

this looks like Max without a good GUI
>>57118950
have used reason 5 for several years as well as logic, prefer reason.
REAPER is bretty gud, been using it for years. Cheap, customizable, and easy to learn.
Use ableton live you pussy
>>57119988
whats the difference between reason 4 and reason 5? (i'm on a mac if it matters)
Logic Pro
pc non macfag here, haven't used FL in 14 years and i don't have time to learn anything fancy. what's the best way for a guy like me to get drunk and make a track or three in as little time as possible? looking at trance, melodic progressive, and trap.
inb4 haters. i'm just looking to make some shit on the side, not become the next global dj with a radio show.
>>57118950
if you can hate it without identifying its shortcomings you're a poser and should give up and just accept your perpetual 7/11 job
>>57122135
any daw
>>57122135
anything, just be ready to get around the "i want to do this how do i do this?" curve
it's less about hearing it in your mind and more about translating it effectively when it's there...............
>>57122135
listen to energy flash
you think that guy knew anything about producing or music?
that track was pivotal
just keep doing it man, but you gotta start if you're gonna keep

Renoise

pic related, was made entirely in MATLAB

Fuck I was just about to say this
Is ReNoise as /g/ as it gets?
I can't even use it as a main DAW (I use Ableton + Renoise, or as I like to call it Ableton/Renoise) because it's so autistic but I have to say there's nothing like it for sample editing and musical micro management, it's raw
>>57118960
Pure autism, you mean.
Ableton tips?
Freeze tracks like a mad man. You can always unfreeze. When you're done, flatten it to audio.
Highlight an area on the timeline, and command + Shift + M to make a new midi clip.
Groups are better than sends. When you group tracks you get a free send (the group)
