But this program kicks so much ass and is so fun to use. Check out all the youtube videos of the creative things you can do with it. Actually I would just recommend researching as much as you can and drawing your own conclusion. Most of these programs have free trials. Reason has really good instruments. But protools is the recording industry standard, so you have a really good program.
Thinking about it, I would try to look into programs that will rewire into protools. Ableton and reason do it, I don't know which other ones will too. Well i must say i use FL studio 8 producer edition, its such a great program and you can produce some great songs on FL. I have used other programs like cubase, ableton,acid! But in the end i always come back to Fl studio. Baisicly there are a loot of good programs and you just need to find one that suits you the best!
Use both. Build rhythms and sequences in FL. Port to Pro Tools for embellishment with Live instruments and vocals and beyond. Access the substantial audio editing and mastering tools available in Pro Tools.
I find that by using various programs in concert with each other, I am able to tap into the strength of each application. It's sort of like making a sonic stew. In many cases the results will stand out from productions done within a single application.

Unknown User : Sat 31st Jan : 12 years ago Ok first of all what kind of music do you produce?? Unknown User : Sat 31st Jan : 12 years ago think of protools as an studio recording device like being with a band in the studio, FL is fruity loops which is a "house" kinda program with loads of synth sounds, you got a stepseqenzer for drums or a piano roll also for the sybth stuff but basically FL is more for electronic music styles, protools more of an recording multitrack thing.
Unknown User : Sat 31st Jan : 12 years ago i would say that fl is most widely used by hip hop producers not as much by house users. DjSomnium : Sun 1st Feb : 12 years ago Hmm well fruity loops does sounds pretty good. OuttaFocus : Sat 7th Feb : 12 years ago Me personally, as long as it sounds good, it doesn't matter what you use. ToxicVoltage : Sat 7th Feb : 12 years ago I personally like Fl due to its versatility its compatible with most sound files mp3, wave, etc it's midi capable and it comes with many pre programmable sounds.
My favorite part is the fact that you can use frequenc modulation on the oscilators in sytrus which makes all the difference The mastering is great as well. In FL8 the parametric equalizer and EQUO help with making sure the track is as HQ as possible The step sequencer is easy to use to make music and it doesn't require a lot of practice to get good at it. Protools is good as well, very expensive, but really good :. NuclearFathead : Fri 20th Feb : 12 years ago I'm in a situation where I am learning too, but from what it sounds like, if you already have Pro Tools, you don't need FL, but could probably pretty easily afford it give it a shot forgive me if that assumption is incorrect.
