FL Studio 4 rapes logic and cubase. It has everything and more. If you don't think so, please check out the demo. I have logic audio platinum 5, and I don't know why. You really don't need cubase, logic or nuendo (which I also have) when you have FL Studio 4. I hope someone with good musical skill enters.

there are a couple flaws in your thought. i just thought i'd let you know.

A) whoever creates the best music will win, not who uses the best editor

B) it is purely opinion on which the best editor is. not a simple fact.

i'm suprised so little people are replying to this. look what you can win

" ...we will introduce you to DMW Records and make sure they get in contact with you. " Surprised

im sure something like this doesnt happen often.

but i've only been using FL for only a few months now, and im no good. id definitely enter, if only the time frame was longer Wink

Hmmmmm. I used to use FruityLoops, but I made a switch to Cubase. Personally, I don't like the fact that you are not allowed to use external hardware in this competition.

Cubase was first introduced as a MIDI sequencer. It was only when Steinberg developed VST that the software side has come of age. It still is based as a MIDI sequencer and not a full blown software package like FLStudio. I'm not saying that Cubase isn't as good as FLStudio, I'm just making a point of the major difference between the two.

Most people who have external hardware use either Cubase, Logic or Sonar. People who do not have any external hardware generally opt for a software solution such as FLStudio. This is because FLStudio contains more built in software sound sources than Cubase by default.

If VST plugins are allowed, then this is just a test of sound quality and the producer themselves rather than which is the best program. I'm more than happy with Cubase SX and my Virus C synthesizer.

I'd like to see someone argue that FL can beat the sound of a Virus C. Now there's a challenge...

Kind Regards,

ok Hard Vibes, I get your point. I'm not saying that Cubase is better than Fruity. In all honesty, I haven't yet tested FLStudio. I used to use FL 3. I'll download the demo and give it a good seeing to. I know that the specs are very similar to Cubase which is very good. Big ups to Image Line.

I think Fruity is better than Cubase in many ways. I think drum programming is far quicker and easier with Fruity Loops than Cubase, Logic and Sonar. In all honesty, the only reason I switched to Cubase was because I didn't think the sound quality matched that of Cubase. I tested the same song with the same VSTi and the results sounded different between the two. I'm not trying to start an argument here, thats just an oppinion. And like I say, I haven't YET tested FLStudio, so I can't make a point about it.

I'm sure I'll be much surprised at how far Fruity has come since I switched to Cubase.

Kind Regards,
Richard Fletcher
