[@dreampopwavestudiob7282]

Soulja boy made FL loops popular second was 9th wonder. He also was the first mega internet rapper and KZbin rapper. I'd say legend at this point. Just , because he didn't use a MPC on production and non-lyrical he's not a legend ? Do you people hear yourselves ? No am I not a Soulja Boy by any means , but I give credit where credit is due. 15 years later still talking about him. Let's start with the software Fruity loops. I'm sorry the MPC and the Rolands were insanely expensive along with the Korg Tritons. No one has money to spend on one device. Who is really going to spend or have $2000 laying around while your broke, living in the projects, or on section 8 and yeah your a kid ? I wrote a report on how FL murdered the MPC industry. Why pay again $2000.00 for a drum machine that takes you years to understand ? Before anyone has anything slick to say I'm 38 years and I know my music and I'm not talking about just hip-hop. A programmable software that's only $200.00 hmm let me see which one am I going to pick ? Don't start saying Pro-Tools either. We are discussing Fruity Loops impact. You can go on Ebay or any pawn shop and MPCs for sale. Soulja Boy produced his whole entire album on a DAW system. There is a whole crew of producers known as "808 Mafia" which specifically uses Fruity Loops. Akai had a massive grave yard for years before the MPC Renaissance helped them. All of you should be ashamed of yourselves for the nonsense and two faced hypocrisy some of these hip-hop pages publish. You bash a kid, a production team, etc. But you won't bash the famous drum machine company who made you put lives on the line for a MPC 2000XL ? Akai never dropped their prices ever ! Yet, you hopped on with your mouth opened for the newest MPC 2500 and MPC 4000 no questions asked. What did you think you were going to be the next Jus Blaze ? So Soulja Boy put Fruity Loops on the map no questions ask. But that's not legendary ? Even the maker of Fruity Loops stated Soulja Boy made them popular even with their trail programs. Sounds like hate to me.

[@MentalPistol]

@@dreampopwavestudiob7282 Nah you're right. Trust me, people had been religiously using FL way before Soulja Boy AND 9th (there were daily online wars between hardware and software cats in those times), but FL first got its real taste of popularity when Soulja Boy came out. 9th Wonder previously took it to a *certain level* of respectability within "boom bap" circles, but most of those cats were hardware-minded and still had trepidation. After Soulja Boy, the person who bought FL the most awareness was *Lex Luger* and his wave of trap circa 2008. That's really when the average person realized that it could be used to make the radio hits of that time.

BIg facts, but the war was going on before the skinny jeans era. The war was going on even before 9th Wonder had installed Fruity. The war was between hardware and software cats in general, not necessarily fruityloops. I know because I was around at that time and was basically a referee between the two sides. I came from a SP/MPC background but at the time I was experimenting with Fruityloops 2 + Cool Edit Pro (I still use CEP V1.2 to this day), ACID, and other tools of the time like DDCLIP as a DAW, etc. I politicked on different types of forums with hundreds of people who couldn't afford hardware but was getting ill with whatever tools they could get their hands on until they saved enough bread for the machine of their dreams. At the time, the MPC and other hardware cats used to brush their noses at anything computer-related, calling it "toy shit"... but a 9th Wonder, a Soulja Boy and a Lex Luger later... FL Studio became legendary. Hardware vs Software era was good times.

[@FightingWinsFights]

[@InitialDL84]

Yup, the main reason I started using FL Studio is because of 9th Wonder 😂 but it wasn't because of what he did with HOV; I found out about those tracks later. It was the stuff he did with Little Brother that got me hooked! Been using FL Studio ever since, since '06.

I remember I was saving money to buy an MPC 2000 and a Triton. A friend of mine gave me FL Studio 3 to try and I didn't understand it. Around about 2004 the same friend sent me fire ass beat. I asked what he made it on he said, the same program I gave you, Fruity Loops. So I decided to give it another go, and didn't look back. I did finally get my MPC tho...last year when MPC One came out.

Is mpc one good? I mean I've fried two computers last week and overall I think dedicated music machine might be the answer to such unpredictability.

@@micindir4213 it's good for what I do. From a creative standpoint, standalone equipment forces you use what you have and do you what you can.

This is a almost perfect description of What had happened imo, only difference for me is I didn't know it was free or anything about 9th Wonder with Jay-Z at the time, I just visited my uncle's friend house one day and he was using FL 3 and he goes to the bathroom and I said to myself I wonder if this is as good as MTV Music Generator 2 on my PS2 😂😂 He comes out about 15 mins later and I fell in love with the 3 beats I instantly made and my producing spirit was born that day in 2002, of course I also was so broke that I literally had a PC someone threw in the trash, to my surprise FL 3 works on it perfect and it's only a Pentium 1 inside, that's when I realized that I need to master this thing, that's the only piece missing in this video, Fruity loops became popular because the hood had one PC in the house and in the beginning there's no such thing as $3000 PC or even a new PC, it was always what can I get for $100-$200 cause I just gotta check my email for work, I'd say that's the other secret sauce, it takes practically nothing to create in it even now

That Soundblaster Live came with a suite of free music making software back then that became my go to industry standard since I could not afford pro gear outside a casio keyboard, or a mc50 sequencer, or the such here and there. Cakewalk Express 6, Soundforge XP 4, Acid 2, Mixman studio, Fruityloops, and vienna soundfont studio! Then came all the Warez! Oh oh! Broke bloke able to have real software now!! That was in 2000-2001 with the advent of Windows 2000!! Oh glorious day! But indeed, these apps allowed me to make good music! To this day I use FL studio as my main daw in Windows machines. In LINUX I use Ardour and FL Studio in Wine.. Ah the best of both Worlds! I miss those days, despite the constant windows crashes though.

I remember most people saying Propellerheads was really amazing at that time but it was very hard to learn so i simply went with a FL demo. Then youtube came around and i saw all these MPC videos, so i decided to get a hardware sampler. After 4 years started up FL again and realized i can do the same in there but at least 4 times faster and FL had updated into a full DAW. Sold the MV-8800 and never looked back.

[@tonylancer7367]

@@apoclypse It's a loyalty thing, a little bit like Apple. Most Apple users will tend to upgrade from iPhone to iPhone and keep brand loyalty. So with FL, most of us are introduced to it as a cracked version, fall in love with it and promise to purchase it when we have money (there's a reason why there's a relatively low price for a full version of FL). In the meantime, we tell our friends and everyone that "Yo, FL's piano roll and 808 slides are sick!", we create an association with FL (simply ask yourself, when someone says "FL Studio" what comes to mind?). Fortunately for Image-Line (the guys that make FL), they also get exposure because every single producer who has a hit record either uses FL or talks about FL. That enough can generate money alone. At the end of the day, if you've used FL for a while and move on, when you upgrade your system or move to a whole new OS, you don't mind purchasing FL again to keep with you. Let the customer do the talking and advertising, you will get the money in the future, and in fact, they have (and still are).

Man. This video is too dope. I know there are thousands of stories on how people were introduced to the Daw. I been using FL studio since around ‘08 I had a mentor that made a hit with it. When I seen he was using the same program I saw Soulja boy using In his Bebo and KZbin videos, I stopped using GarageBand and logic and switched to FL. Low key my motivation originated from seeing Soulja boy crank out viral songs every week on Bebo using the demo version of the program. I was intrigued instantly when he showed what he was using. Originally the people around me , made fun of the daw I was using because of both the name and the under developed UI. This video showed me how the early 2000’s producers were motivated to get into FL. Personally I didn’t see it widely adapted or used in the industry until around 13”-14”. I really appreciate how even tho technology advanced and the daw gradually updated with new features and image line changed the GUI a lil bit, it still maintained the basics and signature techniques that brought its original attention. Eventually the entire industry was using Fl in some way and every genre had new producers to push the culture forward. Its Dope to see how the generation even before me, was motivated. Keep the videos coming. Definitely subscribed.

How to get that mixer view at min 11:00, that you see the Plugins under the faders

[@joebrewer4529]

Hopefully Akai is going to come out with an extraordinary controller for FL studio. It would be cool to have something like the force. I think the fire controllers are underrated. Between the fact that you could have multiple instruments pulled up at one time with four controllers or proactively set up these things to have multiple hits or loops to audition that you've already done. You can control modulation sources. You can kick it old school with FL studio you can kick it new school. FL studios like a modular drum machine on steroids. And with that new plug-in. The new zone time warp plugin. You can do anything with FL studio.

[@DyReckProductions]

That would be dope If Akai did that.

youre leaning on a limiter and filter you arent aware of. stem out bypassing master and see for yourself. youll have to go back and learn how to mix. sadly, at 45 you dont have much hearing left. but maybe thats not important to you...composition is a breeze in fl and its got so many exclusive tricks. just dont mix in it. if you can avoid it, dont mix it at all. send it to the next guy. good work is a team effort. pick your role and stick to it. same with abelton. you can hear when something was done in either of them. i can put money behind my words so dont start fkin with me, just go test it out see for yourself . dont thank me, spread the word.

9th is a good friend I can tell you that. He is very humble and quiet. He tells the story like it was nothing hahsha

It still sound like a fruityloops beat tho. I'm telling you, them older FL's gave off a certain subtle "electronic" sound that's diffifuclt to mask. No matter how grimy you try to make your drums, you can still hear it. Probably because FL was originally designed for dance music.

[@m-chopbeats7526]

It was 9th Wonders work on NAS remix album where it all started ...but yeah 9ths work with J that launched his career. It's so true though lol...my brother's friend played us the Nas album and we were like... what, he did that on Fruity Loops lol...we couldn't understand...was thinking maybe an MPC. But yeah ..FL had to address the pirated thing...so they then started to offer users lifetime updates when you purchase any copy of their software

[@andrewwilliams7643]

I jumped on this when you could only loop corny drums then started playing with The whole acid techno sounding presets in 2.5 I left at like FL studio 10. I always dabbled with Ableton, but when I figured out session view I went full time. FL taught me a lot, but I still always felt like I was missing the whole traditional linear daw workflow, and mixing was too confusing for simple stuff. Years of using it I could still use it like ived used it all along, but I just don't have any desire anymore lol. Collabing with people I would just bring that shit into another daw where I'm more comfortable. What y'all know about computer muzys though?

[@DyReckProductions]

Yeah some people mix and master in other daws..I actually like the linear daws for mixing and mastering.

Also, Image Line owes 9th Wonder a fat check

[@DyReckProductions]

True.

[@apoclypse]

I was in highs school just going to college when I first used Fruity Loops (this was the late 90's). It was still version 2.0 and I was looking for something better than Krystal Audio Engine and Hammerhead Studio. I was using the demo because Image-Line's demos let you export audio even if you don't buy the software. When I was using it my and my cousinI was like I swear the Neptunes or whoever are using this right here because I can make these drums smack easy. 2.0 didn't even have the Piano Roll yet that came in 3.0, lol. So of course in 2002 I'm starting to get serious about music and I'm like I'm going start using a "serious" DAW like Logic. Then Reason was on it for a minute and I was using that. Then before you know it everybody is using FLStudio and I was like wait why happened? I remember everybody had a cracked version of it so by the time it was legit they knew exactly how to use it. I'm too into my more traditional DAWs like Logic, Studio One and Ableton Live now to go back but every now and then I'll open up FLStudio to get that rush of nostalgia.

[@DyReckProductions]

Oh ok you used 2.0 and got nice..I tried one of them back in the days im not sure if it was the first one or 2.0..But I didn't really stick with it or give it a fair chance..But there like the top daw right now so its great they kept developing.

[@bobbyarchaic9649]

FruityLoops is mad easy. I had friends who had been using it for crazy time and I was just goofing around out of boredom in their garage studio and made all these crazy pitch shifted polyrhythmic percussion patterns in no time with multilayered bass lines and arpeggiations and they were amazed that you could do all that stuff with FruityLoops. They we all "when and how did you make these?" and I said "with FruityLoops just now when you ran to the store." They had been gone like maybe 90 minutes and I had a dozen or so basic beats done when they got back. It's crazy simple to use. Granted, I had already used most of the Roland TR-series drum machines, some other drum machines, and some hardware synths that were analog or early digital or digital/analog hybrids and I had used an ensoniq eps-16 plus I had used sound modules plus other effects and some computer stuff but FruityLoops is still ridiculously easy to use. I even had a couple samples that I had made as wav files and put in the tracks.

[@DyReckProductions]

Oh ok so you were a seasoned producer in making beats before you started with FL cool. When I first used Fruity Loops I didn't know what was going on lol..I should have gave it more of a chance.

[@bobbyarchaic9649]

@@DyReckProductions Yeah. It's dope. I'm so used to using second hand gear and to doing stuff with it that really isn't what was intended for it to be used for that I can generally figure out some kind of work around and get at least close to what I was wanting to do. One of the definite benefits to that is that I find tons of things which I hadn't really expected to happen in addition to what I was going for.

Haha me to a T with the old gear stuff. I got into FL in 2004 just after all the real history happened. Still had some stigma of it being a bad daw but there just was no other software that could generate like it could.

[@dreampopwavestudiob7282]

Dyreck you and I had a lengthy conversation over this lol My report on FL Studio people were pissed hot to the moon. I got famous for that FL Studio report man the Akai soldiers were not feeling it ! Everything I stated was exactly true facts. My main argument was the price and availability of learning the the program vs. taking years to learn the MPC. I took not jabs, but body shots at Akai for the price of their drum machines and FLStudio being on $200.00 now $299.00 Soulja Boy and 9th Wonder put FL Studio on the map. The creators stated Soulja Boy put them on the map ! Here is a statement I made on Facebook in regards to Soulja Boy using it with his career : Soulja boy made FL loops popular second was 9th wonder. He also was the first mega internet rapper and KZbin rapper. I'd say legend at this point. Just , because he didn't use a MPC on production and non-lyrical he's not a legend ? Do you people hear yourselves ? No am I not a Soulja Boy by any means , but I give credit where credit is due. 15 years later still talking about him. Let's start with the software Fruity loops. I'm sorry the MPC and the Rolands were insanely expensive along with the Korg Tritons. No one has money to spend on one device. Who is really going to spend or have $2000 laying around while your broke, living in the projects, or on section 8 and yeah your a kid ? I wrote a report on how FL murdered the MPC industry. Why pay again $2000.00 for a drum machine that takes you years to understand ? Before anyone has anything slick to say I'm 38 years and I know my music and I'm not talking about just hip-hop. A programmable software that's only $200.00 hmm let me see which one am I going to pick ? Don't start saying Pro-Tools either. We are discussing Fruity Loops impact. You can go on Ebay or any pawn shop and MPCs for sale. Soulja Boy produced his whole entire album on a DAW system. There is a whole crew of producers known as "808 Mafia" which specifically uses Fruity Loops. Akai had a massive grave yard for years before the MPC Renaissance helped them. All of you should be ashamed of yourselves for the nonsense and two faced hypocrisy some of these hip-hop pages publish. You bash a kid, a production team, etc. But you won't bash the famous drum machine company who made you put lives on the line for a MPC 2000XL ? Akai never dropped their prices ever ! Yet, you hopped on with your mouth opened for the newest MPC 2500 and MPC 4000 no questions asked. What did you think you were going to be the next Jus Blaze ? So Soulja Boy put Fruity Loops on the map no questions ask. But thats not legendary ? Even the maker of Fruity Loops stated Soulja Boy made them popluar even with their trail programs. Sounds like hate to me.
