CTW Members LTM Posted June 16, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted June 16, 2004 Go to www.generoproject.com and listen to some tracks by the Fruityloops users there and I reckon you'll see why I feel this way about FL. http://www.myspace.com/jamesdownie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know of that many tunes made on Fruity that have got a major release. Guy Mearns (Guyver) is definitely flying the flag for Fruity and the only the only other track I can think of done on Fruity by a wholey different producer that's been released is 8th Wonder. And suprise suprise the bass and kick sounds like it could be done by Guyver. http://www.myspace.com/jamesdownie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have the bass and kick got to do with whether it came from Fruityloops? Fruityloops is a sampler. You can put whatever samples in it you like!

CTW Members LiquidEyes Posted June 16, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted June 16, 2004 The only reason that loads of people turn out amateurish pap with Fruityloops is because it's easy to use. If Cubase was as easy to use (and cheap) as Fruity, just as many people would turn out crap with Cubase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can put whatever samples in it you like! thats the point i was trying to make, it's only as good as the samples you put in. i've only been using it a week or two, but what i've made sounds nothing like guyver.

CTW Members LTM Posted June 18, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted June 18, 2004 Just the general feel of a tune made on Fruity, the potency of the kicks and bass, the way fx is used it just sounds like Fruity. I can't explain it I just listen to a track and straight away I can tell if it's done on Fruity. It's easy to use but it's definitely harder to make a track of release standard then on Reason and Cubase. I can think of so many Reason producers who have had their work released but I can think of only two on Fruity. http://www.myspace.com/jamesdownie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of so many Reason producers who have had their work released but I can think of only two on Fruity. that might be more to do with the fact that reason, cubase and logic are much more powerful hence people of enough skill to write professional standard tunes would prefer them over fruity loops. i know i wouldnt be using fruitly loops if i had the time and money to learn logic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Members LiquidEyes Posted June 18, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted June 18, 2004 LTM, does it really matter what software people use to make their music? I know several 'industry' people who swear by Fruityloops, not for sequencing their tracks, but as an 'ideas pad' and for making their basic loops - which is exactly what it's designed for! Saying something "sounds like it was done on Fruity" is meaningless (unless you literally mean "you've used all the crap built-in samples"). You can write shit with Cubase as well. I agree that there are more people making crap with Fruity, for the reasons I've already mentioned, but that doesn't mean Fruity is inherently bad. I rather think you're missing the point mate. There's only two types of music: good music and bad music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
