No hate on FruityLoops Adam. It goes like this:
Fruityloops (any version) is shit because of this fact:
- sounds and samples it comes with are so basic and sound like a $149.99 Casio keyboard (you know, the one you buy at Zellers?)
Anyway, I used Fruity for years (cause I got it free), and to this day, I haven't used anything as easy. BUT, to all those pointing out "9th this and that" - here's the secret:
- Import your own samples (of snares, toms, hi-hats, kicks - all of which is INCREDIBLY easy to do in Fruity)
- and if you're 9th Wonder, just go to a vinyl shop, purchase all the old jazz/r&b/etc. from the 40's and up
- Sample and rape the fuck out of any song (chop, sample, and rearrange anyway you want), couple it with the non-fruity drum samples and you're done. Enjoy.
Now if you actually like to produce music (and not steal/borrow/sample/cutcopypaste (like 99.9% of hiphop), then you go Logic Pro/Pro Tools/Ableton Live!/Anything from the Native Instruments (Kontakt 4 is SICK!@!!) and you're on your way.
EDIT: To see what Fruity can sound like when you're not using any of it's samples (ok, maybe one or two here and there) then visit [link=www.myspace.com/wordofmouthtommyboy]
my myspace page[/link] and enjoy some of the music I was putting out about 8 years ago (or so, either way, really old).
CAUTION! - You really need good headphones or a subwoofer because a lot of fine work was put into bass most tracks (favourite thing to tweak in Fruity
)
