Hey, it could Happen?
@@ericdunn7521 WAD HAD HAPPEN WAAAAAAAAS
Soulja boy made FL loops popular second was 9th wonder. He also was the first mega internet rapper and UA-cam rapper. I'd say legend at this point. Just , because he didn't use a MPC on production and non-lyrical he's not a legend ? Do you people hear yourselves ? No am I not a Soulja Boy by any means , but I give credit where credit is due. 15 years later still talking about him. Let's start with the software Fruity loops. I'm sorry the MPC and the Rolands were insanely expensive along with the Korg Tritons. No one has money to spend on one device. Who is really going to spend or have $2000 laying around while your broke, living in the projects, or on section 8 and yeah your a kid ? I wrote a report on how FL murdered the MPC industry. Why pay again $2000.00 for a drum machine that takes you years to understand ? Before anyone has anything slick to say I'm 38 years and I know my music and I'm not talking about just hip-hop. A programmable software that's only $200.00 hmm let me see which one am I going to pick ? Don't start saying Pro-Tools either. We are discussing Fruity Loops impact. You can go on Ebay or any pawn shop and MPCs for sale. Soulja Boy produced his whole entire album on a DAW system. There is a whole crew of producers known as "808 Mafia" which specifically uses Fruity Loops. Akai had a massive grave yard for years before the MPC Renaissance helped them. All of you should be ashamed of yourselves for the nonsense and two faced hypocrisy some of these hip-hop pages publish. You bash a kid, a production team, etc. But you won't bash the famous drum machine company who made you put lives on the line for a MPC 2000XL ? Akai never dropped their prices ever ! Yet, you hopped on with your mouth opened for the newest MPC 2500 and MPC 4000 no questions asked. What did you think you were going to be the next Jus Blaze ? So Soulja Boy put Fruity Loops on the map no questions ask. But that's not legendary ? Even the maker of Fruity Loops stated Soulja Boy made them popular even with their trail programs. Sounds like hate to me.
@@dreampopwavestudiob7282 Nah you're right. Trust me, people had been religiously using FL way before Soulja Boy AND 9th (there were daily online wars between hardware and software cats in those times), but FL first got its real taste of popularity when Soulja Boy came out. 9th Wonder previously took it to a *certain level* of respectability within "boom bap" circles, but most of those cats were hardware-minded and still had trepidation. After Soulja Boy, the person who bought FL the most awareness was *Lex Luger* and his wave of trap circa 2008. That's really when the average person realized that it could be used to make the radio hits of that time.
You know you're old when you call it Fruity Loops!
I've used FL since 99-2000 My father owned a little pc repair shop in the hood and he bought it for me for Christmas. This is long before anyone really knew who 9th wonder was. By the way the #1 seller in my fathers pc repair shop was calling cards and cigerettes.
Lol.
That good ancillary income
Right on man! I was a beta tester for version 1.5x. I hattttttted it. My boy 40oz production taught it to me. I came from the Amiga Tracker/Scream tracker pro (yup Amiga PC). But as versions went on I think version 4 was the last one I played with. Then I got $$$ to get gear.
Word born. I go back to Fruity Loops 2 .. back when it used to add this lil metallic tinge to the samples.
@@MentalPistol say word say word
BIg facts, but the war was going on before the skinny jeans era. The war was going on even before 9th Wonder had installed Fruity. The war was between hardware and software cats in general, not necessarily fruityloops. I know because I was around at that time and was basically a referee between the two sides. I came from a SP/MPC background but at the time I was experimenting with Fruityloops 2 + Cool Edit Pro (I still use CEP V1.2 to this day), ACID, and other tools of the time like DDCLIP as a DAW, etc. I politicked on different types of forums with hundreds of people who couldn't afford hardware but was getting ill with whatever tools they could get their hands on until they saved enough bread for the machine of their dreams. At the time, the MPC and other hardware cats used to brush their noses at anything computer-related, calling it "toy shit"... but a 9th Wonder, a Soulja Boy and a Lex Luger later... FL Studio became legendary. Hardware vs Software era was good times.
All true talk.
We got twenty hi hat packs to go through, let's go! 😂😂😂
Lmao!
Lol
crazy how youll find only a couple usable ones, who is the rest of that for lol
😂😂😂
Absolutely hilarious 😂
I love this series! Please keep it up!
FL Gang because I was 13 and broke.
Lol. I feel u.
Vibez lol
Yup, the main reason I started using FL Studio is because of 9th Wonder 😂 but it wasn't because of what he did with HOV; I found out about those tracks later. It was the stuff he did with Little Brother that got me hooked! Been using FL Studio ever since, since '06.
Oh ok I feel u.
I love FL studio 20.8! Had Fl for about 3 years now, still learning, always learning! I'm 42! I made beats on everything you talk about and FL studio is my favorite of all the hardware and software I had over the years! It's crazy, cuz when I was in my twenties, I was like " Man,get this shit out of here" lol
I like their sequencer..I think its the best in the game.
@@DyReckProductions you see how now Logic has introduced a sequencer. That FL sequencer was a game changer to where even Logic has finally broken down and included it. FL’s sequencer was a blessing for cats who weren’t proficient on the keys or didn’t have any physical instruments at all.
@@apexone5502 Lol I feel you.
@DyReckProductions: I’m 70 so I’ve never heard of 9th wonder till just now.. He’s really great : Thanks for that .. I’ve been around though . Here’s me at 51 w Steve Harvey and also as a keyboard salesman I told RZA about and sold him his first Ensoniq ASR 10. Forget all the idiots who don’t like the way you talk , You’re crazy awesome .

You the man for this one! I've been a proud user of FL Studio since 2K3. Been Fruity Looping since Lebron's rookie year.
Lol. Since Lebron's rookie year Lmao!..been a minute.
We used Fruity Loops v1 and v2 back in 2k1 already here in Berlin Germany!

@@dissdad8744 where can I hear your music?
@@SL1C3B3RG I will try to link my other profile!
I remember I was saving money to buy an MPC 2000 and a Triton. A friend of mine gave me FL Studio 3 to try and I didn't understand it. Around about 2004 the same friend sent me fire ass beat. I asked what he made it on he said, the same program I gave you, Fruity Loops. So I decided to give it another go, and didn't look back. I did finally get my MPC tho...last year when MPC One came out.
Nice choice.
Is mpc one good? I mean I've fried two computers last week and overall I think dedicated music machine might be the answer to such unpredictability. On another hand, I play set that holds 10+ GB of multitracks, midi and stuff live, so I don't think mpc can do that. While producing actual music computer is still faster, I think
@@micindir4213 it's good for what I do. From a creative standpoint, standalone equipment forces you use what you have and do you what you can. As far as storage goes, I use an external SSD and the SD Card slot cause it doesn't have much internal memory. If I were you, I'd look into the MPC Live II. I believe it would suit what you do.
Gotdam. Should threw "A long time comin" on the turntable when you got that MPC.
Lol man, I love your way around these stories. Keep up the good work!!
Lol Thanks fam!
YOU ARE THE BEST ! Love the vids the history stories your hilarious ! Keep em coming Ya gotta do one on the MV
No doubt I did one on the 8800..I was thinking bout the new one.
YOU SHOWING OFF NOW!!! Cannot wait to see what you come up with next!
Lol. No doubt.
My music mentor back in the day (2011), got me into FL. Haven't looked back since. Got into 9th bc of FL too, he's now and forever my favorite producer #boombap
No doubt.
That step sequencer is second to none sonI use this I stopped for a while then but crazy it has always had a good sound.
Okay bossman ; I’ve subscribed 😂 ! I’ve been down each and every road I had FL from version 3 and used it for a decade till Presonus studio one came out … got on that because of What Teddy Riley said …now I’m full circle ⭕️ back to AKAI but with the Force this time
The DAW that turned everybody and they mama into a producer.
Lmao!
You are right.
So what you wanna do today? Oh yeah I'm a producer. I don't like music tho...I just want the 🤑
A bad producer

I'm dying here! This is another good video!! You sound like you were in my studio yelling when the trap music 🎼 kept getting stronger hahaahhahahahahh
Lmao!
I'm old enough that I started on FL before 9th blew up. I don't even use it anymore, but that's easily the best money I ever spent on music. I can get the new version right now. But word, I guess I'm the old head rocking the hardware now. Mainly a Digitakt and a Zoom Sampletrak. Remember that one?
Fam I got a Zoom I'm trying to sell now!!!!!! It is fire man. I'm old head too. FL naw. I'll pass that was yesteryear for me. My opinion
@@titanjake8640 u can sell it now they sold out I got one a week before they were all gone

What you said at the end exactly what happened, I just got the EPS16+
Great Workflow!,...get ideas out your head,...on to the next Project!
Lol. True.
I remember back in either Summer of ‘05 or ‘06 was when I was at a friends house and he showed me this new program he had “borrowed” from a friend. Me (who was stuck on Cakewalk, Music Maker, and Audacity) saw this program with that famous looking step sequencer in all of it’s glory took one look, and NEVER looked back at my other previous software 🙏🏾🙌🏾🔥💯
Lol. I feel u.
U have the good back end history, I didn't know about hov and 9thwonder using it
Man. This video is too dope. I know there are thousands of stories on how people were introduced to the Daw. I been using FL studio since around ‘08 I had a mentor that made a hit with it. When I seen he was using the same program I saw Soulja boy using In his Bebo and UA-cam videos, I stopped using GarageBand and logic and switched to FL. Low key my motivation originated from seeing Soulja boy crank out viral songs every week on Bebo using the demo version of the program. I was intrigued instantly when he showed what he was using. Originally the people around me , made fun of the daw I was using because of both the name and the under developed UI. This video showed me how the early 2000’s producers were motivated to get into FL. Personally I didn’t see it widely adapted or used in the industry until around 13”-14”. I really appreciate how even tho technology advanced and the daw gradually updated with new features and image line changed the GUI a lil bit, it still maintained the basics and signature techniques that brought its original attention. Eventually the entire industry was using Fl in some way and every genre had new producers to push the culture forward. Its Dope to see how the generation even before me, was motivated. Keep the videos coming. Definitely subscribed.
No doubt alot of folks was influenced by Soulja Boy on FL..And your right out of all the daws this might be the one that has stayed the most relevant for all these years.
Hadda hack vers yrs ago. Immediately fell in love wit dat piano roll. Id wave it out and track down what i made but still made most of the beats on midi equip. Dope melodies from that roll. Lol sometimes hi hat rolls too. Was easy to manipulate the intricate rolls.
I feel you.
Incredible King. LoL still my favorite beat making software.
Thanks fam. No doubt.
I respect this post
FL Gang 🥰 9th wonder definitely got me inspired to get FL Studio and I been using it ever since
Nice.
Loved this one!
Thanks fam.
This is a almost perfect description of What had happened imo, only difference for me is I didn't know it was free or anything about 9th Wonder with Jay-Z at the time, I just visited my uncle's friend house one day and he was using FL 3 and he goes to the bathroom and I said to myself I wonder if this is as good as MTV Music Generator 2 on my PS2 😂😂
He comes out about 15 mins later and I fell in love with the 3 beats I instantly made and my producing spirit was born that day in 2002, of course I also was so broke that I literally had a PC someone threw in the trash, to my surprise FL 3 works on it perfect and it's only a Pentium 1 inside, that's when I realized that I need to master this thing, that's the only piece missing in this video, Fruity loops became popular because the hood had one PC in the house and in the beginning there's no such thing as $3000 PC or even a new PC, it was always what can I get for $100-$200 cause I just gotta check my email for work, I'd say that's the other secret sauce, it takes practically nothing to create in it even now
Yup. Your right there was no $3000 PC..You worked with what you had..and FL did run perfectly fine on a basic level PC.
Lol. I had MTVmusic generator 2 on PS2. As well as funkmaster flex music maker and magix music maker all on PS2. Every now and then I revisit them. But mainly I’m FL 20. I also have 2 MPCs.
nigga i was COOKING on windows 95 nigga damn near 3.1
@@MrSirrah84 Oh ok nice.
MTV Music Generator 2 was my childhood, keep the hustle strong brother.
Bruh your channel is ground breaking your setting the narrative for modern music and no one is covering it a major publisher is gonna be coming for your content i hope they pay this serious is dope!
Lol. That would be nice. Thanks fam.
a major publisher already owns his content, whatd you think youtube was?
@@stuff4826 you just needed some one to talk to. hows your day going boo? send me a link where pitchfork is talking about the progression of the modern day producer? where has mass appeal detailed the importance of fl studios and acid pro? i wish u had more people to befriend u send the links thanks
@@streety301who? im not even sure youre talking to me, i dont see how any of thats related to what i said. maybe you just felt threatened? built up all that courage to say what you feel and heres some smartass saying things you dont understand but i bet hes making fun of you isnt he? how longs this gonna go on? am im gonna have to keep coming back to this post to slap the shit out of you over and over? maybe take it easy on yourself, we dont have to be and probably arent right about anything. one of these days someone will be less understanding than me and use what i know about you after one interaction, agianst you. the world eventually lashes back. i have a feeling youre having trouble with letting things be undefined and grey. youll only build hemorrhoids that way.
Your videos are super dope bro. It took me 5 years to master fl-studio. Boss Daw!!.. Would you please make a Roland fa_06 video?
Lol No doubt fam your reading my mind lol.
Wow great video I started making music in Fruity loops with no Mini controller..
I feel u.
Great job
Thanks bro.
Your very aware. I like that
Lol. Thanks fam.
I downloaded a FL demo back in like 2004. People where telling me that Fruity Loops was the easiest beginners program to start out with, even back then. I didn't even know who 9th Wonder was but he def proved it to be a powerful program.
I remember most people saying Propellerheads was really amazing at that time but it was very hard to learn so i simply went with a FL demo.
Then youtube came around and i saw all these MPC videos, so i decided to get a hardware sampler. After 4 years started up FL again and realized i can do the same in there but at least 4 times faster and FL had updated into a full DAW. Sold the MV-8800 and never looked back.
I feel you. Reason was a bit difficult in the beginning all that plugin in the virtual wires suff lol.
🔥🔥🔥 started making beats on FL 3.5.
Nice.
I done used just about everything and FL studio is currently my weapon of choice
Its a nice daw..Probably the best well rounded.
Been using off and on since 1999💯💯💯 dope ass software
From 2004-2010 I used FL Studio like 9th WOnder did Trying to use the drum sequencer and SLice X and Boo Bass to Make Hip-Hop Beats - I could make it sound like a MPC 2K- - Starting Making Trap Beats after this and switched to Ableton for a different sound/workflow and I saw that 90% of beatmakers were using "Free" versions of FL Studio and all sound the same - in 2021 - not much has changed - I now am trying to rock a hardware rig
I use both now, FL Studio and finally my first piece of hardware MPC Live 2 sometimes together, I only stopped using FL Studio solely because I got sick of always making 3000 beats and then it's time to update my PC and I have to transfer everything and something's always missing or my biggest pet peeve the hard drive dies again and I have to become a doctor to resurrect as many files as possible before my hard drive stops spinning for the 8th time, I've lost so many beats over the years because of a bad hdd or an Windows update that it makes me paranoid on how long I have until I lose it all again and that's even now with SSD and the Google drive in the cloud
@@drebone1986 Yeah they say always try to make sure you have everything saved on 3 different drives..Its hard to do sometimes but I lost so much stuff in the past I try to save things on 3 different platforms.
@@DyReckProductions oh I've learned that the hard way now after almost 20 years of making music 😂
I just wish young me knew it back then instead of just being cheap all the time
Hopefully Akai is going to come out with an extraordinary controller for FL studio. It would be cool to have something like the force. I think the fire controllers are underrated. Between the fact that you could have multiple instruments pulled up at one time with four controllers or proactively set up these things to have multiple hits or loops to audition that you've already done. You can control modulation sources. You can kick it old school with FL studio you can kick it new school. FL studios like a modular drum machine on steroids. And with that new plug-in. The new zone time warp plugin. You can do anything with FL studio.
That would be dope If Akai did that.
Haha me to a T with the old gear stuff. I got into FL in 2004 just after all the real history happened. Still had some stigma of it being a bad daw but there just was no other software that could generate like it could. Reason was alright, but aimed squarely at hardware peeps from that age which was not my high shcool self ;p
Now I'm an adult and what am I doing? Hardware synths. "You know I never did use an actual Sherman Filter bank. I wonder what those are like" ;D
Good stuff!
Lol. Yeah they got alot of cool hardware synths out there.. Buying gear gets addictive watch out your room will soon look like a spaceship lol.
His room already does!
@@DjangoFlaherty Lol Oh ok I just realize who I was talking to lol..Yeah his room is already there lol.
@@DyReckProductions I once replied to one of my superiors in a public Facebook group without noticing it. Luckily I was being helpful!
@@DjangoFlaherty Lol..Yup you were lucky.
@Dyreck you make a video about FLSTUDIO paired with Akai MPK mini and how you can also program it to use it like an MPC
I would have to buy Fl Lol!..I think this guy did one ua-cam.com/video/Jh52R5bVsU4/v-deo.html
I got on fl studio August of 2012. I ran it all the way up till September of 2020. Audio on all my computers went stupid so I went to the MPC ONE, Triton Pro and Ensoniq TS10 along with a handful of other hardware gear.
Oh ok nice set up.
Ah yes.. 1998-99! I remember that time frame fondly..Windows 98se, crashes, blue screens of death in the middle of recording songs, and lock ups in the middle of a beat. And of course.. Soundblaster Live! That Soundblaster Live came with a suite of free music making software back then that became my go to industry standard since I could not afford pro gear outside a casio keyboard, or a mc50 sequencer, or the such here and there. Cakewalk Express 6, Soundforge XP 4, Acid 2, Mixman studio, Fruityloops, and vienna soundfont studio! Then came all the Warez! Oh oh! Broke bloke able to have real software now!! That was in 2000-2001 with the advent of Windows 2000!! Oh glorious day! But indeed, these apps allowed me to make good music! To this day I use FL studio as my main daw in Windows machines. In LINUX I use Ardour and FL Studio in Wine.. Ah the best of both Worlds! I miss those days, despite the constant windows crashes though. The time of new discovery and just plain fun times on music computers.
I know how to use everything..hardware and software but I have been using FL studio since 2004. Back when no one considered it to be worthy. I'm so glad it's now the top daw for everyone
Lol..I feel u.
Awesome and legit story about FL :)
Thanks fam.
Tbh, i would say it was more of the "Soundclick Era" beatmakers that ushered in the newer Trap sound (FL Gang wave). Most of the early trap producers (like Dj Toomp, Shawty Redd, Zaytoven, Drumma Boy, David Banner) all still used dedicated MPC's in the mid to late 2010's for the hits.
Dem Franchise Boyz made all their beats on FL. that was 04
Good stuff but a lil clarity, i was there and i introduced 9th to Guru and we brought 9th to the studio.
Yessir. I remember those days. Good catch Tee.
Oh ok.. Nice!
FL opened me up to the DAW world. Once you learn FL, you can kinda navigate other DAWs
On eerrrthang, The Fruity Slicer was the first software version that chopped like an ASR 10
I found out someof the music in the Tekken fighting games was madewith ZFL and that’spretty dope.
Oh ok.
I found out about FL Studio from Just Blaze. He shouted it out during a clip of “In The Lab” on MTV2.
Oh ok,
I have been using fl since 98 and I always thought that it was a good piece of software but nobody was even trying to understand how it works... From fl studio 3.0 full final everything changed it had almost the same features that the newest versions... I even stoped using reason and moved everything to fl studio... Nowadays is still my favorite DAW.
Factual
The earlier FL versions had a certain sound that imo wasn't good tho. It added something like a subtle electronic twang to the drums. I can even hear it in the old 9th wonder beats.
@@MentalPistol that's just urban legend the audio output is the same I have tracks produced in fl studio 3.0 full final (2002) when I load those tracks it sound the same as 20 years ago there isn't any change
This is so in accurate but at the same time it's gets the just of the story across lol!
This is insightful. I just dont understand why people would go through the trouble of hacking a program that they didnt even deem worthy of good music anyways? LOL
Lol..Good point.
hacker culture and music culture two diff things.
Great video! However, LONG LIVE THE HARDWARE!!!!!!!!!! FL Studio is a dope DAW with a layout that's not confusing but right to the point. I originally got the FL Studio because I thought "FL" was "Florida" being I'm from Florida so why not keep it local? Lmao, even though that wasn't the case I still rock with it because of the simplicity of it. WORD!!..
Lol No doubt!
imma gold selling producer because of fl studio...and i just restored a old mpc 1000 because of these videos...you hit it on the head....lmao
Lol. Oh ok no doubt your doing your thing.
I remember getting laughed at for using FL! My college roommate from Kalamazoo got me started on it! I remember learning about 9th wonder getting some major placements using fl studio and that's what made me stick with using it. Because it was cooler after that to me!
I'm from Kalamazoo who was your roommate?
@@jamelehampton4255 John Wilson
I ran a hacked version of FL on a junk parts 386. Was still fun to run with rebirth.
Been using it since the early days
Running it as a vst within cubase and sequencing all my drums on it
Not sure I like where it's gone now
Feels like it's been pulled in to many directions by the user base.
These days I sequence on hardware and track out to reaper
Oh ok cool.
It was 9th Wonders work on NAS remix album where it all started ...but yeah 9ths work with J that launched his career. It's so true though lol...my brother's friend played us the Nas album and we were like... what, he did that on Fruity Loops lol...we couldn't understand...was thinking maybe an MPC.
But yeah ..FL had to address the pirated thing...so they then started to offer users lifetime updates when you purchase any copy of their software
I started with reason went to cube base and changed to FL
Fl gang for life 💯
Oh ok.
Have you ever thought of doing a "WHHW" show about the DAW Logic? I was using it back in 1995 before it was bought by Apple in the early 2000s. The DAW was super killer back then and there is a cool history around Logic (once known as Logic Audio) created by a German company called Emagic. Cubase was also big back then too..
Yeah..I got to do one on Logic and Pro tools..They both have a dope history.
Oh sheeit. I never linked Emagic Logic with Apple Logic. I remember that Emagic stuff from way back in the day. Got dam.. learn sutn new every day.
@@MentalPistol It was either Emagic, Cubase, or CakeWalk back in the day. It was a trick syncing all that up with my ADATs. Sometimes I'd shake my head and think, how freakin' cool this is? Yeah man.. the 90s saw the dawn of the DAW. We were in AWE!
FruityLoops is mad easy. I had friends who had been using it for crazy time and I was just goofing around out of boredom in their garage studio and made all these crazy pitch shifted polyrhythmic percussion patterns in no time with multilayered bass lines and arpeggiations and they were amazed that you could do all that stuff with FruityLoops.
They we all "when and how did you make these?" and I said "with FruityLoops just now when you ran to the store."
They had been gone like maybe 90 minutes and I had a dozen or so basic beats done when they got back.
It's crazy simple to use.
Granted, I had already used most of the Roland TR-series drum machines, some other drum machines, and some hardware synths that were analog or early digital or digital/analog hybrids and I had used an ensoniq eps-16 plus I had used sound modules plus other effects and some computer stuff but FruityLoops is still ridiculously easy to use.
I even had a couple samples that I had made as wav files and put in the tracks.
Oh ok so you were a seasoned producer in making beats before you started with FL cool. When I first used Fruity Loops I didn't know what was going on lol..I should have gave it more of a chance.
@@DyReckProductions Yeah. It's dope. I'm so used to using second hand gear and to doing stuff with it that really isn't what was intended for it to be used for that I can generally figure out some kind of work around and get at least close to what I was wanting to do.
One of the definite benefits to that is that I find tons of things which I hadn't really expected to happen in addition to what I was going for.
Keep in mind 9th had to download a bootleg copy of fruity loops cause he didnt bring his laptop when he went yo meet up with Jay and he was still able to bang out heat in 25 mins .
I have been FL since version 1. I now own the all plugins edition, no hacked copy lol. I love ableton too, but not trying to drop 800 on a hobby! I will always be FL Gang
Only reason I use FL Studio is LIFETYME UPGRADEZ! & No Dongle!!!! PiuPiuPiu!
LOL. ImageLine had no choice on that one. Everybody was cracking that joint left and right. So they made their upgrade path extremely generous. How they make money with lifetime upgrades is beyond me but they seem to be doing fine.
Lifetime upgrades is nice..Im not gonna lie they do offer better packages than most daws.
@@apoclypse It's a loyalty thing, a little bit like Apple. Most Apple users will tend to upgrade from iPhone to iPhone and keep brand loyalty. So with FL, most of us are introduced to it as a cracked version, fall in love with it and promise to purchase it when we have money (there's a reason why there's a relatively low price for a full version of FL). In the meantime, we tell our friends and everyone that "Yo, FL's piano roll and 808 slides are sick!", we create an association with FL (simply ask yourself, when someone says "FL Studio" what comes to mind?). Fortunately for Image-Line (the guys that make FL), they also get exposure because every single producer who has a hit record either uses FL or talks about FL. That enough can generate money alone. At the end of the day, if you've used FL for a while and move on, when you upgrade your system or move to a whole new OS, you don't mind purchasing FL again to keep with you.
Let the customer do the talking and advertising, you will get the money in the future, and in fact, they have (and still are).
That ending was beautiful
Thanks bro!!
Don't sleep on FLS mobile either! Compose on the cell while you shop at the store and float it to the fully integrated laptop/desktop FLS to finish the track when you get home. Try that with any other DAW.
Oh ok I feel u.
Dyreck you and I had a lengthy conversation over this lol My report on FL Studio people were pissed hot to the moon. I got famous for that FL Studio report man the Akai soldiers were not feeling it ! Everything I stated was exactly true facts. My main argument was the price and availability of learning the the program vs. taking years to learn the MPC. I took not jabs, but body shots at Akai for the price of their drum machines and FLStudio being on $200.00 now $299.00 Soulja Boy and 9th Wonder put FL Studio on the map. The creators stated Soulja Boy put them on the map ! Here is a statement I made on Facebook in regards to Soulja Boy using it with his career : Soulja boy made FL loops popular second was 9th wonder. He also was the first mega internet rapper and UA-cam rapper. I'd say legend at this point. Just , because he didn't use a MPC on production and non-lyrical he's not a legend ? Do you people hear yourselves ? No am I not a Soulja Boy by any means , but I give credit where credit is due. 15 years later still talking about him. Let's start with the software Fruity loops. I'm sorry the MPC and the Rolands were insanely expensive along with the Korg Tritons. No one has money to spend on one device. Who is really going to spend or have $2000 laying around while your broke, living in the projects, or on section 8 and yeah your a kid ? I wrote a report on how FL murdered the MPC industry. Why pay again $2000.00 for a drum machine that takes you years to understand ? Before anyone has anything slick to say I'm 38 years and I know my music and I'm not talking about just hip-hop. A programmable software that's only $200.00 hmm let me see which one am I going to pick ? Don't start saying Pro-Tools either. We are discussing Fruity Loops impact. You can go on Ebay or any pawn shop and MPCs for sale. Soulja Boy produced his whole entire album on a DAW system. There is a whole crew of producers known as "808 Mafia" which specifically uses Fruity Loops. Akai had a massive grave yard for years before the MPC Renaissance helped them. All of you should be ashamed of yourselves for the nonsense and two faced hypocrisy some of these hip-hop pages publish. You bash a kid, a production team, etc. But you won't bash the famous drum machine company who made you put lives on the line for a MPC 2000XL ? Akai never dropped their prices ever ! Yet, you hopped on with your mouth opened for the newest MPC 2500 and MPC 4000 no questions asked. What did you think you were going to be the next Jus Blaze ? So Soulja Boy put Fruity Loops on the map no questions ask. But thats not legendary ? Even the maker of Fruity Loops stated Soulja Boy made them popluar even with their trail programs. Sounds like hate to me.
I used to hate recording in real-time to FL studio. Latency was bad. And even when setting the buffer to the lowest setting what you played on to the midi controller was not always correct. It made me switch to reason 3.0 back then.
Oh ok.
"The Listening" album by Little Brother is the introduction of 9th Wonder and thats what made many of us switch to FL before the Jay Z joint. But I agree 9ths name got out more thru Jay
Yeah that Black album made him international.
I was in highs school just going to college when I first used Fruity Loops (this was the late 90's). It was still version 2.0 and I was looking for something better than Krystal Audio Engine and Hammerhead Studio. I was using the demo because Image-Line's demos let you export audio even if you don't buy the software. When I was using it my and my cousinI was like I swear the Neptunes or whoever are using this right here because I can make these drums smack easy. 2.0 didn't even have the Piano Roll yet that came in 3.0, lol. So of course in 2002 I'm starting to get serious about music and I'm like I'm going start using a "serious" DAW like Logic. Then Reason was on it for a minute and I was using that. Then before you know it everybody is using FLStudio and I was like wait why happened? I remember everybody had a cracked version of it so by the time it was legit they knew exactly how to use it. I'm too into my more traditional DAWs like Logic, Studio One and Ableton Live now to go back but every now and then I'll open up FLStudio to get that rush of nostalgia.
Oh ok you used 2.0 and got nice..I tried one of them back in the days im not sure if it was the first one or 2.0..But I didn't really stick with it or give it a fair chance..But there like the top daw right now so its great they kept developing.
This is all facts!!! I found FL in 99
I'm 45 years old and everything you saying is true I was one of those disbelievers and I'm sitting in front of it right now making beats all I can say is FL gang I'm just saying
I feel you..Its a dope daw.
Yes sir it sure is you keep up the good work with your series I love what you doing
@@nathanielthomas7963 Thanks fam.
youre leaning on a limiter and filter you arent aware of. stem out bypassing master and see for yourself. youll have to go back and learn how to mix. sadly, at 45 you dont have much hearing left.
but maybe thats not important to you...composition is a breeze in fl and its got so many exclusive tricks. just dont mix in it. if you can avoid it, dont mix it at all. send it to the next guy. good work is a team effort. pick your role and stick to it. same with abelton. you can hear when something was done in either of them. i can put money behind my words so dont start fkin with me, just go test it out see for yourself . dont thank me, spread the word.
@@stuff4826 I totally agree with you sir you're absolutely correct I do have an engineer thank you for the heads-up are you own it
Facts
I still use fruity loops 3.3. the first version with vst support. It won't run all the new programs any more but,, it is a 16 bit program, it can only host 16 bit drums...the shit sounds like an MPC when used correctly. It's the last version to do a mono wav export.. free game..
I jumped on this when you could only loop corny drums then started playing with The whole acid techno sounding presets in 2.5 I left at like FL studio 10. I always dabbled with Ableton, but when I figured out session view I went full time. FL taught me a lot, but I still always felt like I was missing the whole traditional linear daw workflow, and mixing was too confusing for simple stuff. Years of using it I could still use it like ived used it all along, but I just don't have any desire anymore lol. Collabing with people I would just bring that shit into another daw where I'm more comfortable. What y'all know about computer muzys though?
Yeah some people mix and master in other daws..I actually like the linear daws for mixing and mastering.
FL STUDIO is like a big entrance, saludos
Lol.
It wasn't even "FL Studio" back in the day, just "Fruity Loops." I had version 3 or 3.1 in early high school, a few years I guess before it became "Studio." That was around 2001, I got won over by Reason 1.0.1, cuz of the realism to real synths and signal flow. It's an interesting history about FL, I didn't realize it went back as far as '97.
Yeah fam!..Way back and no one was really on it back then.
My Favorite Daw
Probably the best well rounded daw.
So funny to hear "the American hiphop perspective" on FL Studio.... here in Europe we had "Fruity Loops is for beginner hiphop beat makers" too but only until about 2006 ... from 2006/7 we had Basshunter and Avicii, so FL Studio became synonymous with "Handsup/ Dance / EDM Producers" that can't afford Nexus 2 nor a Mac but still make top music. ... I didn't even remember that the first time I saw Fruity Loops was at a HipHop workshop in ca 2001 ... FL Studio is forever linked to Dance/EDM music in my mind :)
Here in the U.S. FL is now the be all end all of daws. I think it took over Pro Tools as the industry standard.
@@DyReckProductions here in Europe Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase (for Win users who never switched to FL) and Studio One (for the real trendy producers) are all almost standard I think. ProTools is standard in many recording studios (or Logic if they used Logic since the 90s) … FL is mainly for the lone producer/ EDM producer beginner at home. But once you make it “big” the pressure mounts to move to Ableton Live because “all DJs/live performers use that”. And then after some years a producer may use what he wants again…. Peer pressure sucks! :)
@@DyReckProductions and it’s not even available on Mac that is why I’ve never tried it (been on Mac since 2003) … but I see that there is a Mac version coming since 2-3 years but nobody talks about it. Is it available now?
@@tobiaslofi Yeah I feel you on the peer pressure..But thats an interesting daw outlook yah have out there.
@@tobiaslofi I think they did come out with a MAC version.
Need this 1
Lol. no doubt.
Not me. This was the software they gave us for the highschool recording studio class we had in highschool back in 2002-2002
Oh ok cool.
I hoped you'd do one on the Greater than Grape juice Frooty LooPS lol
Lol.
Orion, Acid and Rebirth was out too.
True.
Back when you start a drum beat with 3 snares then the kick after...throw a little youing-youing sound in it 😎 the future. Even though you didn't know wtf you were doing.
Yup.
How to get that mixer view at min 11:00, that you see the Plugins under the faders
Not to discredit FL Studio but just for your info: Jay Z ran all of 9th Wonder's stems through an analog console (I think it was an SSL) to give it that analog mojo.
Oh ok.. I did remember him saying after he did the beat they did run it through pro tools and Young Guru jumped on it and engineered it.
Yeah but all the analog mojo in the world can't save a bad beat
@@TheLogicalProgress repeat!!!
9th is a good friend I can tell you that. He is very humble and quiet. He tells the story like it was nothing hahsha
It still sound like a fruityloops beat tho. I'm telling you, them older FL's gave off a certain subtle "electronic" sound that's diffifuclt to mask. No matter how grimy you try to make your drums, you can still hear it. Probably because FL was originally designed for dance music.
I have been contemplating going back into my fruity loops daw for about a month now just for the way you can tweak the sub kicks lol.... Can you say LEX Lugar 2000 Sumpthing lol
He was a phenom for a second then. lol
Yeah Lex was a beast.
i started this gangsta shit, on my momma ....'s work computer
Lol.
lol
A lot of the early reggaeton beats were done in fruity loops late 90s and the 2000s. Stuff from tego calderon, Daddy yankee and producers loony toon, Noriega and Eliel.
Oh ok no doubt.
I use FL Studio with the FL controller and made some really tight beats.
Cool!
What was the song on the black album ?
Threat.
i have been using fl studio since day 1
Nice.
