The Shocking Truth Behind FL Studio’s Downfall

[@rosegold-beats]

Here's what i did. Cracked fl studio>made money with music>bought fl studio. They deserve their money sooner or later

[@afroapache]

real! pirating should be for preservation of software - or if you really cant afford it and intend to buy it in future

[@inc0derDev]

This is why I like Reaper, they give you an infinite evaluation period. I can continue to learn their software, even make some money and then pay them all without breaking their tos.

FL Studio is $179 - I get it’s not free but if you’re serious about your goals and the craft, as a grown man I would figure it out. It’s a tool, it’s like if mechanics en masse went and stole power tools because they have a dream of fixing cars. Let’s not act like FL Studio is a loaf of bread and you’ll pass away if you don’t have the money for it immediately. If you’re an able bodied grown adult, you can 100% figure it out

[@bluemingsounds2837]

I remember when FL Studio was over $1k for the all plugins version. That was over 10 years ago

[@PacoStoddard]

Agreeeed, but also would like to add, it’s that cheap, and owning it gives lifetime free updates and you get discounted upgrades if you buy the basic version first, plus recurring drastic christmas deals. I feel like most people who pirate it don’t care to buy it, or they care so little to research the pricing to know that they can probably already afford it to some level

[@atothebeatz9641]

​​​@@bluemingsounds2837yeah. And one of very few options available. This "bedroom" producer, content creator market didn't exist. 10 to 20 years ago, the companies that are reigning today were barely starting out. The home studio market was beginning, fl and cubase and reason and all the grand daddy sequencers were coming up. And expensive as hell. It's not 2005 anymore. Daws are cheap Pirating is no longer "viable" for the up coming producer. Fr. Sells some beats off a free daw and then get a copy of FL studio. No excuse these days. We don't live in 2005.

[@ikirusha]

SO TRUEEEE

[@furyofgad9705]

I’ll tell you this: I can almost assure you that the vast majority of the people pirating the software are young. High school to college age people. They’re super broke, but want to create. I got introduced to FL as a freshman in high school, with absolutely no money, but I had a passion and a drive. Had I been shut down at that point, I don’t know where I’d be right now.

[@ikirusha]

@@furyofgad9705 that's fine if you purchase it later down the line. However if you don't you're worse than dirt. I bought fl studio while I had no job or income. I just did some side hustles to get the money to buy the first version of FL which is only like 200$? I believe might be 300. I swept up and helped clean local stores for a quick 10-20$, I helped people clean their yards. I went out of my way to go and ask people if they needed help with anything at all as a free agent for hire. I also did not debate pricing. If they couldn't pay me 10$ I'd take the 5. It's not hard to do these things. Sell something you don't use anymore online or do a block sale.

[@TLllllll]

Everyone has a right to be paid for their work. I side with FL. Using 9/11 to justify theft is pretty disrespectful to the people who died on that day. New generation are entitled and you’re enabling them.

[@isabtdlr]

first of all, you don't gaf about 9/11, cuz if you did you wouldn't even comment on the situation because you would know damn well this isn't using a tragedy to justify theft. also calling theft to sharing a crack with some friends is stupidly crazy, it would be a theft if it actually affected the company, which it doesn't since the people that pirate the stuff wont buy it anyways. the people on image-line get paid even if their stuff gets pirated because they're a multimillionaire company, FL is like the top 3 daw in sells, a 13yo kid from colombia pirating their program doesnt affect their salaries

[@Ryanthemusician]

you must not care either because you are responding to a comment that has nothing to do with 911

[@TLllllll]

@@isabtdlr Theft is theft. Everything you’re saying is justifying someone not getting paid for their work. Whether they want to let a 13 y/o kid from Columbia have it for free is THEIR choice, not the choice of someone else. ITS THEIR WORK! Do you donate all your days off and free time to your job for free since it doesn’t affect your paycheck anyway? No one has a right to take someone else’s labor for FREE! You’re basically saying FL should work for free because they have a lot of money…wtf are you even saying right now? If someone doesn’t have the money for something, they should get a job or an extra job to save up and buy it. All the time spent making beats on a stolen program could have been spent buying it. The program is $179 on sweet water. Even at minimum wage it would take about 15 hours of work to buy it. If ppl like you can’t justify working to buy it, how can you justify FL working to supply it free? A bit hypocritical don’t ya think?!?

[@DaTHorn]

That's another reason to stop messing with Busy Works Beats. The Heading should have been "The Truth Behind Busy Works Beats’ Downfall"

[@BROSANCHEZTVOFFICIAL]

If you can't afford FL Studio then you don't need to be making beats right now. You need to be getting your economic situation in life under control and you don't have the luxury to sit around cooking up unfortunately. I can't even focus well when I'm making beats if I'm hurting in life. Prioritizing is necessary. Spending time making beats is a luxury. When I couldn't afford FL I went to my friends house who already had it and used theirs. It's not FL' s fault that people can't afford it. That doesn't make it right to crack it. It's like saying that since I can't afford Louis Vuitton it's ok to steal it. '

[@SuperAgentAB]

The thing is that people want to use it because other people use that as well. That said, there are free alternatives that can do the same thing.

[@atrestimes]

not everyone who wants to produce is a grown broke adult, most people who crack it are usually just teenagers who don't have ways to make the money (or people who just don't see the point of paying when there's a free way, and don't care if it's illegal or not because who's gonna stop us lol)

Even if I only reach a handful of people, they will spread it onwards to their handful of people and it'll spread super quick. By cracking down on people who knowingly spreads pirate links, they're sending a message, and I think that's more than justified. The old "you wouldn't steal a car" DVD warning is super over the top but gets the point across. If you can't afford a car, you don't go steal a car. If you can't afford the software, you'll simply have to wait. The base version on FL studio is 99 USD. Regardless of what you do, that should be more than obtainable.

[@RealMacJones]

The power user argument seemed like BWB was just salty about being removed. But then when Nick Mira didn't come up, but Simon Servida did, I was like ok, that's wild.

I bought my version of FL had some help ... Im Not for cracked pluggins ... There's so much free stuff out there.

When I just started using fl studio I never have money to pay for it, but now I buy it and how I get to buy it my girlfriend gives me the money to pay for clothes and I buy the fl studio 😅

[@leburz]

I respectfully disagree with a lot of this, no offense, but sharing crack links on Twitter leading to an account banning is something that happens daily. You're increasing the reach of the crack, when those cracks are all located on several websites. The only misstep is their response, where they should have just copystriked and moved on. I am a bit worried this is a BandLab sponsored video.

[@cloud9savagehenry]

I would like to mention that BWB. In the mix. Scale Audio and many more encouraged me to pay for the product known as FL Studio. And i thank them all.

[@ForTheOmnissiah]

I used pirated FL for many years. I got back into music production recently and am now an adult with money. So I bought the all-plugins edition and actually own it. The all-plugins edition is an absolute STEAL for what you're getting. The cost of the DAW and all plugins is the same price as some single purchase synth plugins ffs

[@MtZaba]

Lifetime free updates but yall gonna complain when you can’t pirate it still.

[@TheMcguffinfiles]

FL Studios piano roll is unmatched and if you actually have talent and no music theory and have the skills it's a great dog is it and it gives you like every approach you can think of to work from and the price is absolutely the cheapest from what I have seen outside of free

[@RachyVybz]

I'm pretty sure that 90% of FL studio licences owners today have used the cracked version first. 10% left for those who used the trial first.

[@phil3670]

Bringing race into it now..... wow.

[@tomsmith5488]

Weirdest logic by Busy Works. Entitlement. Emotive and rightfully so, but to think you should be able to take someones' hard work they paid for (companies and everything else costs), freely, is just plain ridiculous. I understand the emotions when you can't afford it, etc, but nothing nothing nothing is free. Lots of freebies if you want to make music, but still cost to make it. Search for free DAW, there are some. Sorry, I've always liked this channel, and will continue watching it. But wow?

There’s a big difference between buying Louis Vuitton and stealing it.

[@Mills_TheGamer]

@Busyworksbeats so is your solution to let ppl pirate the daw?

[@Mudo_Beats]

I used the trial version for about 2 years before i found out there was a pirated version

[@patrick5301]

Good. The pirated version allows you to open projects

[@ikirusha]

Also im sorry but aint no one more broke than me. When i bought FL studio i didn't have a job, i still don't. I have the SIGNATURE BUNDLE and it took me less than a year to get it. I found a way to make the money i needed and i did it with 0$ in my pocket and no job. STOP COMPLAINING AND STOP DEFENDING THESE WEIRDOS. THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS FOR PRODUCING TOO, if you seriously live in a country where its that hard to afford use a different daw or work your way up. There are free options and cheaper options.

[@TLllllll]

At the beginning you throw names out for clout….you mention no KZbinrs. At the end you say something about FL doing the same thing. 0:07 & 24:53

[@christunez6340]

Using 9/11 and then bashing the software company that essentially made you, "you" is diabolical work. Then to try and tie racism is very sad bro. I'm very disappointed in this channel. You are helping foment a toxic culture FL is literally free now and you still got a problem. Everything doesn't need to be pirated especially on a company that offers lifetime updates and stands on it. You also sound very butthurt about not being mentioned as a power user this sounds more bitter and personal. Ave Mcree is not a FL guy and for you to say that made this whole video complete bs and a jealousy rant.

[@filipwarpechowski6681]

I had cracked fl dont remember which version but it was years ago. I used it to make some crappy loops as I wanted to understand more about music production. Few years later I decided it's enough, as I wanted to share my stuff, so I took extra shifts at work and got legit product some time later. I mostly take music as a hobby and didn't share much; mostli I send some stuff to my friends and whatnot, but knowing I have a legit product and can do whatever with it gave me, like, confidence/reasurement that I'm on the path I wanted to be at. These days if one aspires to make money of music I really don't understand cracking software. At least buy a licence when you get some money, there are people where even base FL key can be expensive, I get it, but bragging about projects you did and saying 'LOL look I got new cracked version' is lame af. As sidenote; I get it, 9/11 can be viewed as a bad date to tweet sth ike they did but tbf if we took all tragic events that we memorize there would be few to none days when this would be apropriate. With all respect, I get it, this was a little lack of awarness, but still, it shouldn't stand as a major point in your argument against FL's tweet, that's all. Much love to all, peace.

[@jefffpv2759]

I pirated from 1999-2020. Then I bought a producer license. Bought a few plugins, then just upgraded to all plugins. Producer was $399 at the time and all plugins was $800. Probably spent $1000 all together. It is the only software I feel is worth the price. Free updates.

[@boseyboi]

Why does this matter. Music is being made. Pro tools has been behind for years and still set for what it works. You just enjoy the band lab interface more and that’s fair!

[@michail_777]

Hi. I don't think stealing is a good thing. Do not compare it with hungry people, for without a music program you can live.Not only that there are other not so expensive DAW and even free. It can be compared to the fact that you saw a nice jacket for 1000 bucks on your neighbor, went to the store stole it, but you say that you just took it to wear, for a while:). I'm not an attorney for any company, but you can't just steal and expect everyone to approve of you. I suggest comparing these situations to yourself. So your car was “taken” for a ride without your permission, your stuff and stuff. Would you compare such a thief to starving people?

A superior DAW is subjective to individual opinion there is no such thing

[@walidank2979]

These people who usually copy the software aren't entirely poor with the exception of high school students but they could convince their parents to spend a hundred bucks to get it just like they do when they convince them to buy video game and most of them are using a computer or a laptop which cost at least a hundred bucks or more vacant afford $100 to give FL Studio for a legit copy

I'm poor and i can afford it. just gotta know when to pay for it that's what the discounts are for. lol
