Yes it's true that recording bands through it are a tad clumsy but only if your coming from other DAW's workflows. Yes it's true most people use 3rd party plugins which are much better (sonalksis, nomad, waves etc). Even Logic's plugins aren't great but they're decent/ transparent to warrant a decent reputation.

Just about all of them suck but pretty much the only DAW with decent plugins is logic. It just sounds gimmicky and the name has always stuck which is a real shame. FL's worst mistake and a f**kin MASSIVE mistake was ever calling the program 'fruity loops'.

Help solve this myth once and for all!mate it feels like myself writing this article.

Reason, ACID Pro and Ableton Live are also similarly dissed and they all sound fine too. Even though people like Mike Oldfield have used it to good effect. Many people diss anything they don't know (in the grey Protools centric world of commercial studios), or stereotype - FL Studio is stereotyped as a noob DAW because it is comparitively cheap and designed for working with loops and step sequencing. Not to mention that in terms of recording, 24 bit or higher gives you a lot of extra headroom, so you can record at lower gain and minimize recording artifacts and clipping etc without incurring a noise penalty. For example, if you do a lot of work with plugin synths, aliasing artifacts can be reduced in some cases using higher sample rates and if you record a lot of acoustic instruments, you can sometimes notice a slight difference, especially in reverb tails and such recording at a higher sampling rate. Marketing / correctional bias is a huge thing and if you can't get a mix to sound good in which ever DAW you use, *unless there is a serious bug in the audio engine* then it's down on your mixing skills, rather than the DAW.įor example, it says that (in a very small test) listeners could not tell the difference between a file recorded for cd format 16 bit 44.1 vs a 24 bit 192 Khz file, this is often variable dependent on program material. I have used FL Studio and it's audio quality is fine.Īlthough the link provided is a bit debatable in some areas, it is mostly fine too. I suppose if I was convinced it was inferior I might consider switching to a different DAW. So I guess the only question is about the sound engine quality, is there any proof that it is inferior? How can this be tested? I would really like to find this out because all I really hear is 'oh, yeah my friend who works audio here says it's bad,' - well wheres the proof in that!?

But apart from that if you use 3rd party plugins as 99% of people do anyway, and if you're writing electronic music with VSTi I guess there's not that much to complain about.

So you could imagine 'growing up' with this DAW I copped a lot of crap from the pros saying it's a terrible program and the sound engine quality is shit etc and I should switch to Cubase or Logic to make it sound better, but I stuck with it and I'm glad I did because as my production techniques evolved so did FL, and today it is now a very complete and professional DAW and I don't feel so embarrassed about using it!Ī few things I will admit about FL Studio, the native plugins suck and to record say a band or something similar though it would be a tad clumsy.

So I guess you could say It must be a good enough program to be accepted for commercial use, so why does it cop so much shit about being a 'noob' program? I have released many tracks for commercial sale with it and toured as well. So I've used FL Studio since I first began producing about 7 years ago and still use it to this day.
