so, use the FL kraked version available almost anywhere, it’s very easy to install on a virtual xp.

or switch to LMMS, the free linux copy of fruity.

anyhow, if they don’t launch a fruity for linux very soon they’ll be dead within 2 to 4 years.
win&mac already are the past.

i’d pay for a linux FL of course. but as long as they don’t make one, i won’t pay.

Really hate when people say that.

For my new machine, i switched my OS to linux (ubuntu first, maybe gentoo later) … and i have a M-Audio 1010lt. my question is:
will FL sell a linux compatible version soon? Is it in development? Can we help?

I’m supporting the linux freedom, and the opensource spirit… but i’m not radical! I’m ok to pay for what worths it. My goal never was to drop FL, or the non-krosoft softwares as long as they DO the job.

So… is there (or will there be) a linux version of FL, or a good way to run it on a GNU/linux, a Gentoo, or an Ubuntu?
I just hope so … because to me win sounds like the past. Definitely.
So, in the meantime i’ll setup a little win98 on a liveCD just to handle my old FL. heh.

Thanks for your help. :-)

It’s a MIDI program!!! Yeah you can generate sound and all but REAL producers would use it like an MPC which generates NO sound. The sound that comes out is the sound that YOU put in it. What you use these days has NOTHING to do with how hot ur tracks are. If it did, then EVERYONE would buy that and EVERYONE would be hot, lol. At the end of the day, it’s about YOUR talents.

“FL Eats all your CPU”- What the fuck? If the effects eats all your CPU, upgrade. That goes for any DAW not just FL. You can use as many effects or as little as you’d like. IF your PC is poor, which it obviously is, don’t use so many effects. Again, same goes in any DAW, not a FL problem only.

“The real question is, does Fruity Loops still sound like Fruity Loops?”- Again, unless you want a program that has a magic button you push and it shits out a track with no effort required, then of course you’ll be happy. Does Pro Tools sound like shit in the hands of an amateur? Of course, same with Fl Studio. I have been using this program for years and I know it inside and out. Any sound can be made, and my tracks are coming out incredibly good.

-Check out new effects and plug-ins by Image-Line like Morphine, Sytrus, and Maximus. Or how about Sliex, and incredible slicing tool, or Love Philter, EQ2, etc. The list goes on but the simple fact is…

NO COMPANY ON EARTH PROVIDES AS MANY INCREDIBLY SOPHISTICATED EFFECTS AND INSTRUMENTS PACKAGED WITH THEIR SOFTWARE AS IMAGE-LINE’S FL STUDIO.

FL blows reason out of the watter. Show me a sound in reason, and I’ll recreate it in FL Studio in half the time with less effort.

Come on people, give it a try and learn it before you know it.
