its always the case as to whos behind the gear. fl is only a daw , same as reason, cubase and all the others. just something u sequence things in, record stuff and run plugins on and manipulate sounds that way.
here is good example im not realy to much familiar with cubase the other night me and my friend was doing and track and we did it in cubase , what otherwise was very easy todo in fl studio takes forever in cubase. i then said so why the use of doing things that way just to say i used cubase? here is a tip if someone asks u what u use, just say im using protools and logic
back in the old days say 70s or 80s, people did not have what we have. so howcome that music sounded so good? cause in actaul fact those guys where true musicians, now that has been replaced by technology, making it easier for anyone to slap together a track. i still say this no program , no synth makes the music u do, u choose everything urself in the end. u can give the best producers almost nothing and they will get the job done, then u get guys who have all the best synths and they sound like garbage. gear helps sure, it inspires u etc, but i rather take all the talent in the world compared to all the gear in the world.
