Exactly! I find myself from time to time getting hung up on some little perfectionist quirk, generally having to do with synth timbre, and wasting a disproportionately high amount of time when I could've been pushing ahead composition-wise. After the main song structure is complete, the rest is cake!

I'd have to disagree, there are several magazines that can be found in any given Barnes & Noble or what have you (i.e. Electronic Musician) that have a lot of Image-Line coverage. Some claim FL's audio engine isn't up to par with its more "professional" counterparts, such as Cubase, but that's a little up in the air. Personally, FL's audio editing interface is a little clunky, and I'd like to see it more intuitive. For its purpose, though, which for me is to easily lay down piano roll programming, it excels.
