    In todays video I go over the FL studio sound controversy. Many producers argue that there is a difference between FL studio 10,11,20 etc. In this video I take a look at different perspectives from different producers like jaycen joshua, southside, and metroboomin to see how they feel about the Fl studio sound differences.

    We understand why people hear differences in "sound quality" between FL Studio 11 and newer versions. This stems from differences in the default settings, and is solely related to audio level. To demonstrate this, we have created a video where we phase cancel the audio from FL Studio 11 and FL Studio 20 - ua-cam.com/video/HrDNcI-SdEs/v-deo.html . As you can see in the video, the audio cancels perfectly, showing there is no inherent difference in sound quality between FL Studio 11 and newer versions. But yes, louder is often perceived as better. Enjoy ;)

      Placebo affects many musicians and this is an example. I too were one of those who thought that DAWs sounded different, by default. A null test (which is a scientific test) is the ONLY way to 100% prove whether a DAW sounds different or not. It's also a way to gauge how different those two audio sources are.

      If you got good and trained ears, you can hear the difference as bright as a day.... It's the same if u compare pro tools with fl on windows... Pro tools Just sound more steely and sharp.... It definetly has something to do with the coding and export codec build.... Im not an programming expert, but my ears work great and im not the only one hearing these differences.....
      For most people who make music is this completely needless... But that doesnt mean the difference isn't true and has no impact.

      These modern producers (ESPECIALLY for hip hop) literally make the same fucking trap beats over and over again, with very slight changes and little to no incentive to ever experiment with sound. I dont use FL Studio (im an Ableton Live user), but maybe if these producers actually were to go a bit more in-depth into sound design, maybe they could not sound so stupid. Im only a beginner, so whatever, I could just be saying a bunch of bullshit right now, but these platinum producers feel almost fake to me tbh.
      Edit: I have no problem with any DAW whatsoever. FL is probably great for a lot of people.

      It was a great thing for newbies though. Imagine you're a DAY 1 producer and you decide to throw in a few sounds and your beat is not only terrible, but it's clipping like crazy and sounds like trash. You'd be 10x more likely to close FL and uninstall it and walk away for good than you would with the limiter being there to help out. The limiter allows brand new producers to feel like they are BETTER than they actually are by making their trashy distorted beat actually sound pretty decent (at least to new producers that have no idea wtf they're doing). FL knew this... Early on it was more about keeping their customers long term. They were seeing a ton of customers get the product and give up on it too soon.

Yes of course some DAWS are better than others with the beat making process , but most of them pretty much do the same thing these days... In my case, for example, I use both FL studio 21 and studio One 5.... They both have similar features especially when it comes to the piano roll , etc... like you and others, I will agree that FL studio is more fluid and efficient with the actual beat making process... And for me, studio one and other DAWS is more efficient when it comes to vocal recording, and the mixing and mastering aspect of your music ... Just my experience and opinion though

    It’s not the magic wand it’s the magician. A lot of hip hop producers know what they hear but early on didn’t know what was happening under the hood. The better things sound out the gate gave producers time to more focusing on creating music vs editing. Soft clipping and limiting settings changed in various releases definitely will impact the sound. It’s like having a goto dish at a restaurant and a new cook was light on an ingredient.

      If they use different, legacy effects which aren't exactly the same in the latest version, possible.
      But comparing exactly the same, I guess 32 bit plugins, maybe less, although on newer version there is probably necessity of using some bridge to support such plugins on a DAW side, so it can be still slightly different.

    I believe it's literally just because of the default limiter was at +5 or higher dB I believe where as with 20 and later the limiter is set for 0.
    So you had thousands of producers making beats in FL 10, FL 11.. that whether they realized it or not, were boosting their entire projects
    by 5 dB because of the default FL Limiter. Those that have been in the game for a long time probably just removed the limiter from the
    master channel, but I'd go as far as saying 80-90% of the producers out there just left it be and had no clue.

    I'm pretty new to beat making and such, only been using FL Studio heavily since October of 2022, I've used 21 and I've dabbled in 12 back in 2017 but didn't get invested in to beat making back then. I have no idea if FL Studio 21 still has that same stigma, but it's definitely not loud. I always find after I've exported a track that it's still not as loud as the average song is. Once I master it that's when it's volume hits that level I want. It's worth noting I also EQ everything so that the mixer shows their gain in the yellow, I always avoid red as that's obviously when it's clipping hard, which clipping bass and sub bass also cause my Focal headphones to clip

    The Biggest problem in current FL is when you chop your audio in and out, if you don't zoom it It cuts the in and out a few millisecond earlier or farther, that souldn't be done so, even if you are in Line Mode, it fucks with the part where you meant to be sliced, it doesn't slice at the point where you clicked, try to zoom and look closely the fucked up part. everything is timing in music, if your chopped sample is not at exact time where you meant to slice it, it screws with the idea from your mind into your music actually, I never encountered this prob in older versions of FL, people mostly doesn't care about these important bits but it actually makes your music sound not the way you meant to sound.

Now I'm not an FL guy, I bought it to learn it and I can definitely get my other DAWs to the same level, but FL does it out of the box with no effort and it just sounds dope. Like the default 808 Snare has this stereo effect that just doesn't sound the same even if using the same sample in Logic, Ableton, Bitwig, or Reason (I have all of them). I haven't used FL on a PC in years so I can't comment on that. I'm convinced it's something FL's built in sampler is doing.

    This boils down to people not understanding how sound works. Not only can you null FL to other versions of FL, you can null FL to other daws if you understand what a limiter does. #shrugs
    Understanding how to produce is not the same as understanding how sound works. Thats why, in general, producers arent good engineers and vice versa.

    ❤1. From 2004 till 2010 I hated it. Was trash for me, coming from a rock and metal background it was to limiting for me. Was like basic af.
    I always used 3 or 4 Daws. Now its the same I use multiple Daws. I look at Daws for what each one is good at, some have a certain sound, some have certain arrangement tools, some have better standard VSTs, for me. But ive always had a hybrid workflow, using a daw for one synth or drum sound BOUNCING THAT INTO ProTools, then recording live instruments into Pro tools, 50% in the box, 50% real instruments

    Yo this videos are 12 years old. I used FL on cross, Projects sounded on Mac and Win exact the same! Also: When making beats just using classic clipper on master. After exporting stems and going to Logic with same clipper settings on beat bus everything sound 1:1 the same. Differences in sound enginge WAS tru but in 2011 lol.. And do not come around with any bs.. Im using Fruity loops since version 3.6 (2001).. And if you use FL Limiter on your master your lost af.. against FL clipper nothing bad to say, for many prods this VST limiter is 2nd best after classic clipper.

      I noticed the same thing, but if u listen closely with a decent pair of headphones, you’ll also notice that the quality drops significantly; the low-end gets washed out & the whole mix sounds more compressed. I think what u described as “harder” was a mixture of an increase in output volume + added compression, which video processing software(s) tends to do. Adobe Premier seems to do the same thing every time I export a music video, even at the highest setting possible, there are some changes in the audio quality.

    Load up a base line of an 808 in both fl and any other daw of your choice, but you need fl studio because it’s the “problem”.
    Take off the limiter and any other stock plugins that load up with fl, make audio or midi track inside both daws with the bass line in a loop of 8.
    Put a db Meter on both tracks, the one in ableton and the one in fl studio and level match so there the exact same db or volume then press play and listen between both alternating.
    Why does the sound still sound different? In the ableton version the low end is a tad bit weaker while in fl it just knocks at what ever volume, now make the exact same song in both daws, same volume same plugins etc etc, why ableton end up sounding weaker? Remember you’re supposed to level match everything so no excuses things end up louder in fl studio by default, I also know about the fades ableton creates when using sounds even if you turn off the fades the sounds still lack. Someone prove me wrong I’ll be waiting, I trust my hearing I have good hearing, I own ableton,fl studio,cubase,protools,bigwig, I’ve tried other daws and they each do something to the sounds I don’t understand why but it’s there.
