Concerning audio recording for example, that was improved a lot lately (there was not even realtime waveform dispayed during recording) etc.īut.with IL's current update strategy, always having the latest FL is rather time consuming for users and that time could be better used in making music.
Still, if you work with earlier versions you'll have to make some sacrifices related to function scope (self-evident) and especially some of FLs latest functions are quite useful and also improved its stability. At the same time it would make sense to look at an earlier version of FL once, like already said - to check out the basics - that could give you some insight into FL history which can be helpful to understand its workflow better. FL has become more stable since v20 especially when comparing to the later versions of FL12.
Regarding the version choice, I'd go for the latest one. Is it popular and solid enough to warrant the prediction it'll still be around in a few years? Must be great to work in an environment which is designed so that everything comes together in a complete package. On the other hand, I am really curious about FL Studio and the other softwares. But I am just a fan of video tutorials and would love to work through them, and all of that stuff is for the big players. Bitwig is also interesting for exactly that reason, but it looks like a pretty small and unpopular DAW and I am afraid that I put time into it and it'd get cancelled.īasically, I'd love to stick with Reaper because I was told it could do (almost) anything that the big players can do. Reaper is also interesting because it has a Linux build. Reaper obviously, because I want to financially support them, because I love their approach and philosophy. There's a few DAWs that I am interested in for a variety of reasons. But for Reaper, there's no such thing, only general introduction tutorials. I mean things like "How to make EDM/ in the style of this musician".
Most tutorials out there - I mean tutorial series that you purchase, not videos by YouTubers - are made for FL Studio, Live, Logic and so on. I've used Reaper a bit and love it - the thing is, there aren't many tutorial series for it. That it got saved and relaunched, it could also have ended not so well, and it could have been dead by now. I would want to avoid choosing a DAW which is cancelled at some point in the future. I am not only concerned with choosing the right DAW, but also with the long game of it. Click to expand.Thank you, that is good to know.
