You made a lot of Good points,.
First off, the Mix on your contest was impeccable. I loved the space and aura of all the sounds, especially coming out of Reason. Which is why i sent the PM i sent you.
But with FL, I'm using a pair of Sony MDRs to mix, and ONE logitech speaker because the other one blew..and the past 10 beats I mixed like that on my page, sound better than most people using my DAW and skill set. That's because of knowlege and information, and applying it.
So when i said no one is not using VSTi's...i meant WITHING FL. No one should be using those little dance and electro sounds that are about 8 bits in urban music that come with FL (for 99$) but for 250$ you can get Halion Sonic or Some East West joints..and have a great start. Shoot buy Sylenth and Urban Electro..and you're golden for pop
All of that is very cheap to do. And the features like wave editing, processing, and exporting, time stretch, remxing, etc etc..is all in the daw. No need for any other program...
Which is the point i was making.
Outside of that, I dont have a problem with reason...to be honest..i would Rather user Ableton Live Over either of them. But i dont.
@ AJ Reynolds...after the first purchase of a VSTi like halion sonic..you shouldnt need another instrument or effect until you start seeing money come back from that investment..honestly.
Im talking strictly startup costs. Because if you did the SAME ideology with reason...You're gonna want a Good mastering plugin, something to record guitar or vocals...some more libraries (orchestras, VSL, Kontakt to reason, etc) as well... So its still gonna get expensive no matter what route you take.
But you can make your whole album off gate in FL with nothing else for 99$
(ive seen it and heard it done)
