CTW Members Claire DC Posted November 12, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted November 12, 2003 Ok, i notice this comin up over and over again in this forum between fruity users and cubase/logic users usually.. here's where u can battle it out.. put each other right and generally argue out ur opinions on sequencers!! Also does anyone think the difference in performance/ability in cubase/logic is enough to justify the difference in price?? On ur marks, get set.. GO!!

CTW Members LiquidEyes Posted November 12, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted November 12, 2003 Claire, Fruity is not even in the same league as Cubase/Logic. It is a joke to compare them. It's like comparing a sports car to a juggernaut: FL may be very slick and fun to use, but it is nowhere near as feature-packed as Cubase. FL is basically a loop-editing tool, that has been slightly extended over the last couple of years into a half-baked sequencing package. Cubase & Logic were designed as complete virtual studios, to enable simultaneous recording/playback of multiple audio tracks, and MIDI arrangement. E.g. for recording & producing bands etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTW Members Rob D Posted November 12, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted November 12, 2003 Lets be honest, all of them get dicked on by Pro Tools though. And a bit of good news for all you Cubase users - Steinberg will be out of business very soon as they are heading very rapidly to bankrupcy. Oh well.

I know a LOT of producers on the production forums i go on do use fruity these days and they are all finding it to be fully competent to do what they want it to do and are making tunes of a high quality from it too.. so why shell out the extra for something like cubase/logic/pro tools when they can get fruity which will do what they want it to do but maybe in a different way to any other sequencer?!

GO!! the theory is.. if you were to buy logic and unlock the es2 and exs24 (synth and sampler) you should need no other 3rd party plug-ins or instruments cos the bundled stuff is of such a high quality you need not look elsewhere. fruity>> the synths are shite the fx quality is shite some of the controls for the above all work arse about face as a sequencer it is very poor if you like to work quickly visually it is a pain in the [censored] arse if all the fruity users in the world were be given a crash test in logic and able to bypass the learning curve that comes with it, they would never return to fruity.. theres too much difference in the progs to really go into it without going off on one (and i really cant be arsed), but i find the idea of fruity 'snobs' very funny indeed.

Well you know id love to learn logic but i need a new soundcard to start with for that dont i as we've already tried lol!! I just wana get peoples opinions etc on the sequencer because its somethin that a lot of people are very opinionated about and its always good to hear a new opinion on something!! Do you think the latest pc version of logic 5.whatever is good enough to stay with now itsgone/goin over to mac only from 6 upwards?

CTW Members Scream Posted November 12, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted November 12, 2003 Rob the only thing is pro tools comes into its own when used with hardware, by itself in my eyes doesn't hold a candle near logic. Like mod said the soft synths in logic just kick ass. i've used a few progs but i've found logic just so easy to use once you get over the first barrier of how the major parts work.

Indeed. Funny how most of the "opinionated" people sticking up for Fruity, have never used a "proper" sequencer like Logic or Cubase! (not in anger anyway) Claire, the reason Cubase is expensive is because it is a much more complex product, and has been in development for many many years, by a big programming team. It's still a whole order of magnitude cheaper than the equivalent amount of hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
