Can't stand how ableton is totally inflexible, and that they, in practically 2014, figured out that maybe, just maybe, someone might have... Two monitors.
I manage windows in fl. Everything has a place, and I can see everything I need to see: step seq, browser, mixer, playlist/arrange, piano roll. And all at a good actually usable size.
I'm not even going to get into shift, ctrl, alt in fl - playlist/arrange and piano roll just breeze with the help of these modifiers.
ye its extremely underrated imo. tons of decent producers use FL too. its just so piss easy, everything is so accessible, making some loops is so easy, the layout is flexible. its ridiculous. and if u ram a few decent VSTs in there ur sorted. only thing is i get memory problems sometimes ): but thats my wack laptop and forgetting to resample mainly :p

When we have a terabyte of ram, won't be a problem! And trust this, I remember when 1 mb of ram was a really big deal (and really expensive - I remember spending one hundo for a 1 mb stick, and it actually wasn't that long ago).

In all honesty, fl's piano roll is the best. Actually like editing midi in there. Cubase, ableton, reaper, reason - for the birds. One thing nice about ableton's piano roll is that you can create sequences, entirely with the keyboard, no mouse at all. Very nice!

Yes it will, cause all the synths will model the nuthair on the flea on top of the capacitor in the powersupply circuit of the analogue synth emulation you're playing. The "needs" always expand to meet the capacity of the technology. Look how much ram Windows takes now compared to the versions of old. We'll never have enough candy eating up CPU cycles.

Yes, but we'll be approaching perfection!
But I'm specifically referring to fl remaining a 32bit app for too long, thus maxing out at 4gb of ram, while being the most ram intensive daw due to the way it handles audio files.

Oh that's some ole buushit. I got spoiled by Reaper64 and its ability to run 32 bit plugs automatically.

Like they
just figured it out, and yes, computer monitors, like the things you look at.
Probably most people now in production started producing with live 9, but it hasn't always been this way.
Live 8 muthafukka OG status read it and weep.
