So I downloaded fruityloops and I think I've got the hang of it, could someone tell me how it sounds?
Be as harsh as you want and if you like it, then add the myspace or something. http://www.myspace.com/sarcastwhile Thanks. |

I don't like that electronic piece at all, but the acoustic guitar one sounds pretty fine

the elctronic piece sounds either like Aphex on prozac or like 70's Eno on coke.
the acoutsic gtr piece sounds nice to me and kind of Fahey-like. stick to the acoustic!!!!! |

Well that sample on the myspace is my first attempt at fruityloops so I want to attempt and get better at it and shit. The drum sounds are actually derived from Kraftwerk beats haha.

Considering it's your first attempt, I'd say it's pretty good. I'm still yet to figure it out.
Here's a friend of mines profile, who uses fruity loops. Really great stuff. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=801 54902 Listen to spirits and concords. |

sorry dude the electro piece sounds like a ring tone in fact my girl friend yelled out to me while i was playing it "is that my phone?"... i think the piece has potential but it just sounds so incredibly thin, maybe if it was an intro to something that kicked in with some nice tasty beats and dirty samples and synths.
if you can find a copy of reason use that as fruity loops is hmmmm let's say an average piece of software. |

dare i say that FL is actually very flexible and you can tweak it to the maximum. you won't believe the amount of shit i've been doing since 2002 with the same old 3.5.6 version. trust me - there's a learning curve but you can do whatever you want when you know how to use it.

Good first effort. I use fruity sparingly... I'll take some samples from fruity and fuck with them in adobe audition or something... the worst thing in the world is when you can tell someone obviously used fruity to make stuff.
Still, for the first time you've ever done anything electronically, it's not bad at all. |

it's not my style, if you ask me it sounds like it belongs at the beginning of a software program like the sims or something, or on a debt management infomercial but you didn't do bad for a first try.

It sounds like something from the Napoleon Dynamite movie. It does sound a blit like a ringtone, and it probably is too "thin".

Okay, I think I'll keep the beats but like, include guitars and stuff.
It could be interesting. |

I remember trying to use fruity loops a couple years back. But I got bored with the limited options and ended up making shit noise with the effects.

I remember when I first got FL in year 7. I blew at it, using default samples and instruments. But once you get some decent drum samples etc and some kick ass vsts, you can do so much more. Just keep it up.

Limited? You can do anything with it -- ANYTHING! I heard that Kyle Minogue songs are made in Fruity Loops. |

I'm sick of FL studio getting shit about not being a "professional" DAW. It can do everything all the others do for a fraction of the price without being a difficult program at all. And, unlike Reason, you don't have to use ReWrire everytime you need to use a VST plugin.

I seriously can't think of a single thing you can't do with Fruity Loops and Adobe Audition (or Cakewalk or even Soundforge if you're feeling saucy) together.
Unlimited amounts of beats to slice (samples), vst plugins, vst synths, etc... it blows my mind, the sky's the limit... |

Exactly. And it's far easier to use than Cubase and Logic
