WDDUP PEOPLE..I'VE BEEN USING PT FOR THE PAST WEEK OR SO FOR PRODUCTION BUT ITS MAD COMPLICATED. I HAVE TO GO THROUGH SEVERAL STEPS JUST TO FORM& SYNC PATTERNS TO THE TEMPO & I STILL HAVE TO USE QUANTIZE & DURATION JUST TO GET IT SYNCED & IT STILL SOUNDS OFF SOMETIMES...IS THERE ANY WAY AROUND THIS ISSUE? HAS ANYBODY ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM W/ PT? & SHOULD I JUST STOP OVER COMPLICATING THE PROCESS & JUST BUY FRUITY LOOPS? I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK....STAY UP

YEAH I MADE THE SWITCH LAST NITE FAM
Welcome to the family,

I have tried other DAWs, and my personal preference has always been FL Studio...

People always say Fl Studio "sounds shytty" and that's true with the stock sounds...But the VSTs like Harmor, Autogun, GMS and Fruity Kick have been my bread and butter...

Also, start learning about automation, EQ, compression and general Mixing and Mastering....ASAP...If you are not already...

Basically, Fl Studio "sounds shytty" because it forces you to learn about sound processing...Since I now know what I am doing when I use the Parameter EQ2 and Fruity Limiter and Maximus, I have been only using Fl Studio stock sounds...And they sound good when treated right...

Be creative...

yea ProTools ain't my favorite sequencer. You can always bounce your tracks from FL to mix them further in PT later

For me Pro Tools is the best daw hands down... i use it everyday at the studio i work and use it at home to make beats too... it may take a time to learn everything, but its really the most complete daw imo!

check some of my beats in my thread theres in my sig, i made it all in pro tools...

the plugins format in pro tools are RTAS (until PT11, now the format is AXX), VSTs dont work on it, thats why ur instruments dont work on it...

if u have any other question, just hit me and ill try my best to help u... peace!
