    FL Studio is $179 - I get it’s not free but if you’re serious about your goals and the craft, as a grown man I would figure it out. It’s a tool, it’s like if mechanics en masse went and stole power tools because they have a dream of fixing cars.
    Let’s not act like FL Studio is a loaf of bread and you’ll pass away if you don’t have the money for it immediately. If you’re an able bodied grown adult, you can 100% figure it out

      Agreeeed, but also would like to add, it’s that cheap, and owning it gives lifetime free updates and you get discounted upgrades if you buy the basic version first, plus recurring drastic christmas deals. I feel like most people who pirate it don’t care to buy it, or they care so little to research the pricing to know that they can probably already afford it to some level

      ​​​@@bluemingsounds2837yeah. And one of very few options available. This "bedroom" producer, content creator market didn't exist. 10 to 20 years ago, the companies that are reigning today were barely starting out. The home studio market was beginning, fl and cubase and reason and all the grand daddy sequencers were coming up. And expensive as hell.
      It's not 2005 anymore.
      Daws are cheap
      Pirating is no longer "viable" for the up coming producer. Fr. Sells some beats off a free daw and then get a copy of FL studio.

    FL Studio is not canceled, you guys are. FL Studio did help everybody, by lowering their prices, work your way up like I did. If you smoke cigarettes and buy 10 packs for the whole month, then stop buying cigarettes, and save, the same thing goes for liquor and weed. Stop spending money on things that will not help you achieve your goals.

You’re basically saying FL should work for free because they have a lot of money…wtf are you even saying right now? If someone doesn’t have the money for something, they should get a job or an extra job to save up and buy it. All the time spent making beats on a stolen program could have been spent buying it. The program is $179 on sweet water. Even at minimum wage it would take about 15 hours of work to buy it.

I just did some side hustles to get the money to buy the first version of FL which is only like 200$? I believe might be 300. I swept up and helped clean local stores for a quick 10-20$, I helped people clean their yards. I went out of my way to go and ask people if they needed help with anything at all as a free agent for hire. I also did not debate pricing. If they couldn't pay me 10$ I'd take the 5.

    If you can't afford FL Studio then you don't need to be making beats right now. You need to be getting your economic situation in life under control and you don't have the luxury to sit around cooking up unfortunately. I can't even focus well when I'm making beats if I'm hurting in life. Prioritizing is necessary. Spending time making beats is a luxury. When I couldn't afford FL I went to my friends house who already had it and used theirs. It's not FL' s fault that people can't afford it. That doesn't make it right to crack it. It's like saying that since I can't afford Louis Vuitton it's ok to steal it.

    Jokes aside, it's common sense to not go openly talking about pirated products in a public setting as this is what will happen, companies do NOT play around with people openly distributing pirated copies of products, like either pay for it or just be silent about it if you're gonna sail the seven seas (even with the latter option, you'd have a harder time trying to get the most recent update as you'd have to constantly wait around, so I'd just recommend buying the product whenever you possibly can as the lifetime free updates are more than enough to prove their worth over several other competitors).

    I feel like you kind of missed the mark on this one. How would you feel if I came across a link to all your paid courses and packs for free, and posted about it on twitter or a relevant subreddit? I wouldn't be the guy who uploaded your content, but I'll be the guy who spreads it. Even if I only reach a handful of people, they will spread it onwards to their handful of people and it'll spread super quick. By cracking down on people who knowingly spreads pirate links, they're sending a message, and I think that's more than justified.
    The old "you wouldn't steal a car" DVD warning is super over the top but gets the point across. If you can't afford a car, you don't go steal a car. If you can't afford the software, you'll simply have to wait. The base version on FL studio is 99 USD. Regardless of what you do, that should be more than obtainable. If you do pirate it; spreading it on a public platform like twitter is the dumbest thing you can do. If you can't afford it, use bandlab if it's free (not familiar with it).

But if you’re smart you will only produce 1 song at a time and export it without closing, which can even be nice if you are really adhd and can’t finish projects due to constant new ideas making you start over repeatedly. This is how I started out and once I could afford it I bought it……. 200 and that is soooo more than worth it as an investment. Not a lot compared to ableton or even a ps5 lol

Im about to upgrade to the signature bundle now. I find their pricing to be the best, epecially considering their lifetime updates. No company is as generous guys. How did the user post such nonsense on their account? How does one get so deceived to think they can help everyone with an illegal download link??
    Even poor people have no right to do illegal activities. Its that simple. Why would you bother with FL when there are free DAWs out there? You cant threaten a company that has brought so much valuet to the marketplace like FL. Why are there no such complaints against companies in other industries like clothing, cars etc? Beat makers should pull their heads out of their 4rs3s and wake up to reality. The market place is for those with services/products and the means to exchange for that value.
