@@maxington26 any other daw kinda was though, nowadays everybody's using either logic, fl studio or ableton because pro tools hasn't updated their interface like at all and makes the prices through the roof haha
I began like 2001 with Fruity Loops 3. Acid trance and Goa Trance was the influence those days. Then psytrance. Since that time I'm a producer working with Fl Studio(Fruity Loops).
Holy Shit, this was the first version of FL I used!! I had started programming drums in HammerHead and somehow found a crack of Fruity Loops 2. I can't believe it's been 18 years!
Lol, no need to be sorry for people who had to use this back then! It was incredibly amazing to be able to fiddle with fruity loops 3 on a 2 GB laptop with a good soundcard. Actually I still miss it sometimes, as the limitations also sparked creativity like crazy. Your song sounds amazing to me! Such an enjoyable video, thanks! :))
That actually sounds great, it sounds very old school. Kind of brought back my child hood with how that sounded because things now are very different compared to back then.
"it's not really good"...dude are you serious? this sounds better than half the junk out there today. And yeah I can believe how fast you made it. If you know FL studio then you can create using any version that's out there period. i enjoyed watching you messing around with it. Thanks for the brief entertainment today. U rock!
It wasn't a daw back then! its just for busting out beats! But Bitwig rules the roost these days and Ableton 10 just came out so have been playing with that a bit ....
I have been using Fl studio since the first iteration. You had to use a separate DAW like Cubase to get the most out of it. It was basically a drumcomputer VST. Nobody took it really seriously back then but it was one of the most important steps toward the all software environment that we know now. It was a very exciting time. I remember fudging around with a Atari ST and wishing I had the money for a sampler. Then the software samplers started to appear (downloadable from dubious sources) and everything changed. You could get Cubase,Rebirth, Fruity loops and some early soft synths and you were set. I did buy a legit version of FL Studio ages ago though and to this day it's my preferred DAW. Gotta love the lifetime free updates!
A talented producer can compose a decent and unique track with any DAW. No presets, just knowledge of simple waveforms, oscillators, and drum samples. That's all we had to work with back in the day. In fact, Richard D. James produced some of the most intricate, complex electronic music to this day using old hardware and a basic DAW. It's way too easy nowadays, which is why so much bandwagon production sounds nearly identical in respective genres, ie. modern talking in Massive. You should try to use Rebirth to make a track for a similar experience.
Karma I was going to take a look at your SoundCloud just to see what your beats sound like, but you have no embedded SoundCloud link on your Channel. You may want to change that, since being on mobile, I cannot click the web address you typed.
@@rhysf.505 oh it gets fun. Lol. Go back even further, when my dad was playing on the Commodore 64 which nobody was allowed to touch. I also remember we had a Tandy, 24KB of ram, expandable to a whopping 72KB. How time flies.
This guy must be young AF cuz I was going crazy with this and it was game over when 3.5 came out! Be in middle school having the class go crazy when they heard my beats!
If I had to guess back then they wanted to be more directly in competition with Rebirth. I see similarities in work flow, functionality, and sounds. It was just designed in a more flexible manner.
"...and just warning you, it's not really good". DUDE, I fucking loved it! Sounds just like my rave beats back in the day. Since I've started with Fruity Loops v3.0 I guess it makes sense :))) Keep em coming, Levi!
LOlz...brought back memories...I started using Fruityloops in 1999....in demo mode (with no save project)and you could export out about 1 second in the demo mode...so i would make my loops, export and then bring them into my Ensoniq ASR-10 and then build a full song in the ASR-10. Export again and do final adjustments in cakewalk home studio. I actually went ahead and purchased fruityloops at 2.7 after making a few hundred bucks on some of my songs at mp3.com. Today's FLStudio is so much better and user friendly than the old days.
I'm still using 3.5 since 2002. It didn't work on Windows 7 but it works on 10! I've released about 30 records (vinyl) since 2003. Never cared to learn anything else 😏
i bought the boxed version of fl 11 producer series at guitair center like years ago for 199$ then like 2 months later they dropped fl 12 and i decided to update thinking i would get gross beat and all the other plugins fl 10 and 11 gave free the the soundfont player now its all demo fl 12 sucks they want you to buy the juicepack or spend another 100$ on grossbeat so you can save your project without anything demo getting deleted i see why so many producers stick with fl 11
Back in the day it was pretty amazing. It's Fruity Loops! They didn't permanently drop that in favor of "FL Studio" until version 4 was released. The mixer you were looking for came out in that version. 4 was amazing when it was launched.
So I run FL studio 20, with tons of really awesome plugins and vsts, soundbanks and samples packs.....this dude making a much better song with 2 plugins
The first Fruity Loops was mid 1998. I was introduced to FL on the 4th version in 2005 and considered it as a graduation from eJay and PS2 Music Maker lol. Still use FL Studio today!
