The Official FL Studio Thread (no haters plz)

Been using FL in various forms for years to make house and techno tracks. I've tried to get away from it to use "real" sequencing software, but I just keep coming back.

Anyone else using this? I would love to hear some finished tracks that were sequenced entirely in FL, regardless of what software you used to master it.

I've been messing around with trying to get that pumping sidechain compression effect using the peak limiter. I'm trying to figure out how overboard I should be with separate compressions on fx tracks, when trying to achieve a sound similar to Lifelike's "So Electric".

I've been using FL Studio 4 for the last 4 years, so used to it I can make tracks without any speakers (and I've gotten some pretty good results this way!). Plus I love being able to visualize rhythmic structures the way you can with it.

I made this entirely within the the last 3 hours, have no mastering knowledge whatsoever (but this one doesn't sound to bad, actually, you'll have to really crank it though), so forgive me if it's terrible, but it's the first proper track I've put together since November.

i.e. this is NOT representative of my best productions!

Been using FL for about 6 years and love it.

i miss fl. i've been looking for similar sequencer software for mac for a while now, i've learnt to build sequencers in logic's hyper editor loading samples and routing audio channels to effects is no where near as quick and easy as fruityloops. can anyone recommend anything similar to fl for mac? been looking at idrum - anyone use it?

More FL Studio stuff, a medley of 4 not quite loops but not quite tracks of decidedly not techno, all 110 BPM, and based around a lot of samples (frankly, I never knew I could make something so serious out of Wham's Careless Whisper).

It's still a rough draft, some gremlins in the system, unmastered, quiet, etc., but sounded pretty good on both my computer's actually. Any feedback would be much, much appreciated.

That track rules! I would never have been able to tell where the samples are from if you hadn't mentioned it. I think that possibly the "ah oh" bit from 3 mins onwards goes on a bit too long before the beat variations start over the top of it, but from experience I know that it's easy to make tracks in FL Studio that are a bit overlong. Also the last third with the saxophone doesn't gel with the rest of the song, maybe that part would work better as a separate lower tempo ambient track? Otherwise, cool use of sampling.
Actually I once made a track in FL Studio using samples of Chris D3 8urgh's "L4dy In R3d", and called the resulting track "Shit Into Chocolate".

Thanks!

I should mention, though, that these are 4 separate, autonomous pieces which I just quickly mixed together to bunch them together.

* most of them being originally 45 seconds to a 1 and a half minutes, anyways.
