hands down, sytrus is like the most underrated plugin ever

[@zacanger]

Harmor too, I haven't felt the need to buy Serum because Harmor can do all of that.

[@DillyzThe1]

probably because you need producer edition for sytrus as for zac, harmor is in all plugins edition sooo yeah as a fruity edition user i can't actually use those without dropping an amount of money that's more worth upgrading editions with, which i'll probably be doing by 2023 anyway so i can get producer edition.

[@zacanger]

@@DillyzThe1 Oh, huh, tbh I forgot I have All Plugins Edition. If you're planning on upgrading, now is actually a good time with the Black Friday sale.

[@raylectro]

@@zacanger true, although i dont want to make my mom use any more money on plugins.

[@DillyzThe1]

@@zacanger hey i forgot to respond but shortly after i did end up getting producer edition! soundfont player, sytrus, dragging in sound, & recording audio were so worth it! ofc ik i get things like slicex too but i prefer fruity slicer like 95% of the time lol

Ableton user here. I’ve never really been a fan of the fl workflow but this video has really made me appreciate one of the other sides of the market. It’s great that there is a competitive nature between the major daw companies, as it means the customers always win. This was a really thorough yet digestible video that was a great watch.

Can proudly say I've been a user since version 4 (and I was only 14 years old). 20ish years later I'm on version 20 and killing it in the music game. Thanks for the awesome video brother

[@sindanonegongo1199]

lol I have a similar story, only I was 12 when I first started with fl studio 4,

[@filnobep]

I started on Fruity Loops 2 but I thought it was only for drum loops. I became strictly FL user when FL 4 came out. On the Imageline site they had a pic of Kanye West using FL and I was a follower of his as a kid when he was known for producing. I think AIR is also infamous in making FLstudio popular because they made it so easy to crack in the early days. Thanks for making this video. You did good.

[@afunnylookingsquash]

[@will.k.l2259]

fl studio was my start to make music by myself. thats one and a half year ago. it is so understandable and well designed im so thankful for its existence and this video!

[@micah_noel]

I discovered Anvil Studio in 2001 while looking for a drum machine. I was able to make simple loops and then used Cool Edit Pro for recording audio. I played around with Fruity Loops a couple of years later but I didn’t understand it. I finally got FL 8 and started really learning midi. I fell in love with it and I haven’t used anything since.

[@AnsemsApprentice]

I Googled, "The History of FL Studio," a month before you made this video in the hopes of finding a cool mini documentary, but I had very little luck. Then boom, did it again today and found this perfect video! Fantastic job. Perfect mixture of visual storytelling and historical detail. Nerdgasms all around.

[@cpthegenius]

Dope video. I started on FL3 and jumped to 7. I got major nostalgia watching this

Really great to see the timeline laid out like this. I've been a fan since 97 and love to support this company!

[@GODLYNXofficial]

Ive been in love with fl studio for 22 years. Its amazing to see how its grown to be a leading competitor in the world of daws. I used to get criticism for using it because it wasnt taken seriously early on, but now i have the last laugh because this software is amazing. I feel so vindicated as one of the oribinal fl OGs.

[@chivalrous_chevy1163]

He who laughs last laughs best.

[@albshore8]

I came onboard with 4 now waiting on 21🥭F or L ife

[@oftenyoutuber4348]

That’s almost the entire time it existed… 😳

[@TheMiliPro]

Same here. People used to tell me it was a toy, a gimmick then eventually they asked "wow, you made that on Fruity?". I had it since someone gave me fruity 3 on a data CD and said "try this". I decided to stop getting cracks as I grew up & began seriously using it & could make no excuses about not being able to afford it. To be honest, the lifetime updates alone should be enough of a reason to give this company your money as who do you see doing this, putting people over profit? Plus staying true to their word. I hope the founders are all millionaires!

[@eklektek5032]

Damn, I almost forgot about the pattern blocks! Brings back memories.

[@Francidium]

Great video! It's unbelievable how little views this video has!

[@tallydaproducer4061]

Version 10 came out on my birthday 🎂 Awesome video.

[@marvin469]

I got FL 3 in 2001 Dec, I heard a dude playing a CD in 2000 he said he made the beats on FL 2 and they were 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. There was soooooooooooo little information on how to use the DAW. I learned as much as I could but until utube really came along ppl had no clue of how deep those programs could go. FL 11 was my favorite Thanks for this documentary. I'm glad the new generation got this information

[@1bbjjhhjj]

I've been making music with FL since I was 11 (28 now), and the first version I used was FL 9. I have made probably over 200+ songs in that time which is crazy like I can't wait for FL 21 to release next year!

[@GringoXalapeno]

Just curious do you have any idea f your music posted

[@oftenyoutuber4348]

So since 2005?

[@SpeccyMan]

Next year eh? Using it now! 😁 OK it has a few little quirks but I'm sure it is close to finished.

[@JimmBeem]

21 just dropped today

[@XBprod]

Awesome video keep up the good work !!

[@leftfeelsright1968]

What's appealing for a non fl user is that it have lifetime free update plus the producer edition sits perfectly for any budget users..awesome stock plugins and a unique work flow.. Thinking about switching but the amount of learning curve I will have to put on again is terrifying when I think.. So I am sticking with studio one for now.. Lol

[@BatchofCookies]

As someone who has tinkered with Studio One, Give it a shot! The workflow is surprisingly similar, I think you'll have an easier time than you think. :)

[@basedshadowwizard]

hey and if you did try it and give it a shot, just use the demo, so if you ended up not using it, you didn’t waste any money 👍🏻

[@Hauki336]

the trial version is 100% free and you still get to use all the features of FL (except opening project files youve closed) its a really good way to figure out if its right for you

[@niganools1502]

[@markl5998]

I loved every update since FL v4. FL 7 is what really got me going being able to record audio in.

[@ShinwaneKido]

I started my FL Studio journey since FL 10 at high school with the school's computer, and about 3 years ago I officially started my debut on FL 20. Been taking audio commissions from people here and there, even though the earnings aren't a lot.

[@RedMeansRecording]

This is a great video. Brings me back.

[@Darksomnium]

When i was 12 i wanted to start making music but i had no idea how. I ended up trying out the Fl studio demo because (as far as i knew at the time) it was the only thing i could make music with while not having a midi keyboard. ive been using it ever since and used it to start a youtube channel which is now my primary job. So, i really like Fl studio lol

[@Beatitat]

This hit my algorithm. You should consider making more videos like this

[@afunnylookingsquash]

i got a playlist of em, gonna work on them while im not at my real job as much as i can

[@Zinity]

This is so so so nostalgic. I started back in FL studio 4, got it on a CD and I was hooked. Most of childhood I would spend every single waking hour on that program, just fixated on creating melodies and inserting sounds. I still spend 90% of my free time on FL and could never see a reason to switch to anything different. The Daw is incredible, easy to get your ideas straight into place nearly instant, and it works flawlessly. All the updates they bring, are insanely good, and it really shows how much they care for their customers, and the music industry in general. FL has never dissapointed me, and watching this video gave me so much, so thank you for making this!

Started in 2013/14 with fl 11 and after few tries I deleted it but friend of mine was using it and told me to try again. I did and I learned a few things and started loving. Didn't use for too long and then fl 12 came and everything became easier and better and more fun. I'm at 21 version rn and it's getting better and better by every update. Thank you Image Line,we love you!!

Dope video but you forgot the mention Lex Luger the producer was if not the first, he was the first to have major hits on fl studio in 2008/2009. South side and metro boomin comes way later. Look up “BMF” and “MC hammer” by Rick Ross. He is the creator of that trap sound that we use still today.

[@t0xcn253]

After using 5.0 for WAY too long, I am still deeply grateful that Edison was added in 6, the hell of trying to use the original wav editor (before I wised up and got Audacity) felt like endless suffering, or at least until it inevitably crashed the whole program.

[@lavenderllamamusic]

Edison is my favorite sampler, by far. It was hard to adjust when going to Ableton and not having it

[@dmtboke]

broooo, this video was so nostalgic! Thanks a bunch for making this dude, so cool to see the evolution of FL. I personally came across FL Studio when they were at Version 9 and since then I've never looked back, Genuinely don't know where I would be right now or what I would be doing if it wasn't for this DAW (Seriously, it changed my life.)

[@richswavy3626]

I started on FLStudio 3 back in 2002 , man those were the days

[@kuzev]

My first version was Fruity Loops 3. I had so much fun with it. This was before KZbin tutorials etc. so I was learning just by trial and error. But it was pretty primitive. It didn't have automation clips, you could automate inside the piano roll though. I only switched to FL 7 which was on a completely different level. I've seen the 4 5 and 5 before this video

[@3Prayt]

This is a pretty cool video, nice job

[@YanAde]

Been with them since FL 10, got it for Christmas as a kid and it was by far the best gift I've ever gotten. About to upgrade to the full plugin bundle now that they've added a sick ass reverb plugin in FL 21. Probably never gonna use anything else.

[@fraster7]

Great video I personally started on the fl 3 around 2001 good memories!!

[@kubagornowicz]

I spend "some" time in a 2.0 version back in early 2000's, than had over two decades off and now come back to making music with new version. And still after those 20 years it feels so familiar.

[@NoahtheEpicGuy]

I've been a FL enjoyer since like 2013 or 14 because my brother let me mess around on his copy when I was young. While personally, MIDI export support leaves a lot to be desired, I would still never use another DAW. FL Studio feels like home, and it's extremely intuitive and is genuinely fun to use. Hell, I still discover new stuff in it almost every time I need to find a way to do something. Purely magical. Thank you FruityLoops for giving me the chance to become the musician I am.

As an Ableton music producer and EX FL user, I could say that FL Studio has more features than any other DAW and is the most complex software for music production. And I really like that FL gives you Lifetime free updates and not like any other company that will suck your money for a few updates. FL Studio has a REAL opportunity to cover all other known DAWs (Including Ableton). Gr8 video, thank you for sharing!

[@saxxonpike]

I started with FL 2, but really started music seriously with FL 3. The piano roll made all the difference. I started as some kid with a pirate copy and went legit all plugins bundle with the money I got from contest winnings in the following years as Sanxion7. It's been free updates for me for a while now and I'm forever grateful they continue that today. Happy to support them whenever new things come out.

I love Fl Studio. People keep telling me to switch to Ableton, but I’ve just never felt the need to. Fl isn’t perfect, but I’ve gotten real used to those imperfections over the years and have found a workflow that I really like

Heh love when people tell me that, as if I didn't already spend over a thousand dollars on FL studio 🤦‍♂️ yeah I'll just switch and throw all that money out the window sure

@@pricklycats I mean, the free lifetime updates are cool and I understand the money side of it, but I’ve never not wanted to use Fl. It’s not perfect, but I’d kinda miss those imperfections if they weren’t there. It really just works for me

[@NathanChisholm041]

I've been using it from day one as a beat box back around 1998. Me and my brother would go clubbing be inspired by the nights music and when i'd get home i'd open fruity up and start trying to make beats. 3 osc was my favorite back in the day making Earth-shattering detuned basses and pads!
