Just a quick thing: the real Kontakt has a lot more options for strings.I'm actually surprised you got totally different patches as you told me, but the real library has 2 patches for each string instrument: one for solo, and one for ensembles. There's also nice legato patches for some in the Legacy section, which you also don't have. If you were to get Session Strings, it would've been a different thing entirely, because Session Strings is a sample library that's not from Vienna Symphonic.

You suck.jokebtw In all seriousness though, I'm gonna save up to buy one so I can play Ocarina of time and Star fox 64 on the go. I love those games. The updated graphics can't hurt either.

Considering it's been advertised on the front page of OCR as well as a posted remix by zircon using it, I'm quite surprised you've never seen/heard it before. It's a rhythm guitar library, focusing less on leads and more on rhythm riffs and stuff. The person who programmed the samples was zircon and the guy playing the samples to be recorded is Sixto. http://impactsoundworks.com/products/instrumental/shreddage

I win. it's250px Actually, Shreddage and Electri6ity are pretty good when put through non crappy amp sims. Anyways, problems with your post: Expensive guitar samples don't always = good sounds, but they don't always != good sounds also. If you record clean guitar without an amp, of course it would be amp friendly. (because IT'S CLEAN, with NO AMP SOUND) That's what Shreddage is. It's clean guitar, and you can put it through whatever amp you want. And as for the pickup business... why not just record samples for all of the different pickups? There's no reason not to. Playing guitar isn't the only option, there ARE sample library/engines being released that are getting better at imitating guitars. As for slayer, it still sucks.

That's terrible to do especially if you edit/change parameters on your instruments. You can't just reload the player, you have to reload all the existing instruments, which means you had to have saved their configurations somewhere.

YOU'RE PAID TO GUARANTEE IT, DRONE!!! Anyways, I don't think he owns Kontakt.

Well first make sure you spell "Kontakt" correctly or people will have a very hard time understanding what you're referring to. XD Second, unless the guitars are by Native Instruments or by a third party company that NI lists as POwered by Kontakt, all third party samples will shut down after half an hour in the Kontakt demo. Also, you seem to misunderstand what those were. They are sample sets FOR Kontakt, they aren't VSTi's. So there's no way to load them unless you have some sort of version of Kontakt, and the demo/player will only load them for 30 minutes.

Happy birthday to that guy who likes to use Macbooks

I think FL pitch bends are much better than event controls, and I think VSTi's should support them. But they don't. It's something we as users of a DAW that has seemingly unthinkable and amazingly ingenious yet so ridiculously common sense features have to deal with. The rest of the music production world hasn't caught up. But to answer your question, no, your best bet is to use the event editor. Sowwie.

I'm stuck between Zebra 2 and Sytrus.

IT'S A BIRTHDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY allcaps:-D

This should've won, hands down.

Well there you go. Okay, I'll stop being a jerk. Pattern blocks are the rectangles you put down in the playlist that have been there for a long time in FL Studio. I'm assuming you haven't upgraded to FL Studio 9, where clips were starting to be used. Clips are the other playlist where you can put stuff in the playlist and see what's in the pattern.

This is a vague inquiry, because latency can be set by your buffer rate. I'm running a machine not much greater than yours and I can get a 2 ms minimum latency on my Audio Kontrol 1. I don't imagine there would be a gigantic difference between these two interfaces, but I don't know. I would say that for the most part your latency should be fine and comfortable if you turn the buffer rate down.

You've never used FL Studio before, have you?

See if you can go into your preferences and change the behavior of what your browser does with different file types. You should be able to find mp3 and set it to "download" or something like that. Firefox does this, I'm not sure Chrome does.

All FL Studio projects open in newer editions. It doesn't work the other way around, though. Also, after FL Studio 10 they're removing pattern blocks, so I guess I should amend my answer to: Starting at FL Studio 11, your old projects using pattern blocks won't be compatible.

Sorry but I have to put the obligatory slayer is the worst guitar sim I've come across.

The email is a bit misleading, you CAN download all six packs. Great for electronica artists, lots of cool loops. If loops aren't your thing, you should still give em a try if you have FL Studio's Slicex or a similar plug in to get the individual sounds out and program your own beats.

xD I'm just saying. I would've googled before asking, I'm not callin you out or anything.

Considering it's been advertised BY Image-Line and emails BY Image-Line and it's ON the FL Studio facebook page...

No, you're making it look like Reason is better than FL Studio by clearly "forgetting" that FL can do the same thing.

Do you have a soundfont player in FL Studio?

Either get used to clips (playlist) and forget about patterns or be prepared to be using FL Studio Version 9 for the rest of your life. They're taking out patterns in the next version, so you should be prepared for the workflow change. I welcome it, because clips give you better control of your tracks.

Who said you can't do that in FL? Now you're just making stuff up. Well the OP is "why more FL Studio users than Reason", I'm simply pointing out from an FL Studio user's perspective why they wouldn't ever want to switch to Reason.
