Kalki Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 The whole point of a visual arrangement like Cubase is that you don't have to remember every single little sound! It's all there on the screen for you, and as long as you give things sensible names and make other ways for you to recognise at a glance which sound is which (eg. part names, colours, etc) there's no chance of getting lost. 516245[/snapback] Dude, i havnt still learned cubase. cos am tired of it. after seeing the screen shot now iam scared of it. i use FL studio. could u tell me y do everyone like cubase than others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you there's no reason to be scared of it - in fact the way FL presents its arrange window, with anonymous white squares for each pattern (rather than named parts), seems to me to be kind of user-hostile A complex project in any sequencing application will look intimidating, especially if (like me) you don't use eg. folder tracks to group together related tracks; if I'd written it in FL Studio it would look much the same. Any project in any sequencer is made up of small elements, and as soon as you understand the small elements (which isn't hard) you can then understand how they combine to build something of great complexity. I could also post a screenshot of an SX project with 4 tracks - would this be less frightening to you? It would still be the same program...

It's a very simple program to use, and you still get some pretty cool sounds out of it. But upgrading to Reason has been great - there's more complexity, but the complexity is in order to create more subtlety and richness. It really depends on what kind of music you're making, I guess, but I'm in love with Reason and can't imagine ever going back to FL Studio. I'll probably feel that way about Reason after I get SX.

It's a surprisingly powerful program. The only problem with the trial version is that you can't save your work, although you can export the file as audio when you're done with the song - but you can't turn off your computer until the song is done! Anyway, it's a simplified version of the larger programs out there, and in some cases people prefer it. Might be a good place to start. It's not that expensive, either, to buy the basic setup.

Tellurium Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Nice sharing Colin, Does it mean that you record every midi track to an audio track for the final arrangement ? Greetings, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faze Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 btw does anybody knows any other programs,just to compare with FL? 520342[/snapback] Ableton Live 5 is my favorite. I used to use Fruity Loops 3,5 then 4.0 but switched to Live and never looked back. Ableton Live 5 Demo Download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin OOOD Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 Nice sharing Colin, Does it mean that you record every midi track to an audio track for the final arrangement ? 520270[/snapback] Not as a rule. I only bounce down MIDI if there's something I want to do with the track that I can't do with MIDI, or if I need to free up CPU, or if I need to be 110% sure that 'sample accurate' means exactly that.
