Is it possible to create...

Fully orchestrated music within FL Studio? Because Ive been wondering about it for some time after I was asked to compose a mod whos music needed to be grand and epic in scope.

Of Course! You can do any style you want to, the only thing you may find a bit difficult is doing tons of meter changes, but if you're not doing too much of that it really shouldn't be a problem.

Indeed. However, I'd say not with FL's default plugins. The closest you could come with any of Image-Line's software would be with DirectWave, but that wouldn't really sound that good either. If you take some time to search for it, I believe Nutritious did an FL orchestral template with some reasonably decent free soundfonts and what not.

If you're going for full-on pro-quality though, it'd probably be best to invest in something like QLSO Gold, Motu Symphonic, or at the very least IK Philharmonik.

FL is a great sequencer, but you also need some good sounds, and unfortunately, FL doesn't really offer any of those when it comes to orchestral stuff.

Yeah, I figured FL studio alone wouldn't carry anything decent enough, so I guess Im going to save some money to buy some good software, maybe a few products of East/West. Thanks guys.

Good plan, I've been doing some orchestral work lately in FL with Philharmonik (I got it as a freebie) I wouldn't recommend it for an orchestral library, but it's shown me that orchestral work is definitely possible.
