The "who uses what" thread


Recommended Posts

Well right now I am using FL Studio 5. My friend lent the program to me awhile back and I don't know if he actually gave me it or not. But anyway after I installed it for some reason he took all the info I need to get FL Studio 6. I'll soon ask him for what I want that is if he lets me...

Is your friend's name "Torrentspy" by any chance?

and that has what exactly to do with this thread? keep your irrelevant comments to yourself please.

I must say, for someone who's been into this for 2+ years, I don't have much. :oops:

Software

Noteworthy Composer - for writing MIDI.

Cakewalk Home Studio - for enhancing and maybe even remexing.

FLStudio 5 - Where all the action is. 8) I could upgrade, but all the "new" features didn't interest me.

Heck. If it's free I might still get it anyway.

Samples/VSTs/Resources

Squidfonts is really good. I've been using mostly free samples. All the packages that cost money are like 15 GB big - My hard drive's only 30 GB! They're crazy I tell ya. :roll:

And that's pretty much it.

... there's warez samples?! (Man there's warez everything) :o

... there's warez samples?!

There's a whole newsgroup dedicated to them, at least 3 IRC channels, and back in the day I remember groups that released nothing BUT sample disks.

Edit: I should have said "used to be 3 IRC channels" since I have no idea whether they still exist, and no desire to hunt them down.

(Man there's warez everything) :o

I have a warez e-peen.

Actually it is a MIDI controller that can "act" as a mixer. But it's not a mixer as in terms of analog/digital mixer where you put your audiocables into it. That's actually the BCA (Behringer Control Audio).

I also considered getting one, but I dont have any space on my desk left, doesn't fit below either. But it's definitely a cool device. I might get a BCR now that it's only 130Euro, but I'll go to Musikmesse 2006 first to see if Behringer has anything better or "new" up their sleeves. ;)

oh-kay... and what of that stuff "weren't" warez? o_O

Why does piracy always come up in equipment threads, anyway? The last thing a pirate is going to read or acknowledge is a long, lectural post regarding moral consumerism.

Also, you're just being a smartass anyway, you don't know they pirated anything, unless they say so, in which case they're idiots for letting people know :)

And it's perfectly plausible that a lot of these people HAVE bought all their stuff. Save your jeers for people you know, please.

Compyfox, are you an insecure closet pirate or something? I think it's known that a person will keep insulting a group of people to deflect attention away from one's self (after all, a rabid homophobic is the last one would expect to be gay)

There still does exist people who pay for stuff. I know it may be hard for you to grasp, but it does happen. Yeah, it may seem cool to go into a thread and pretend that you know everyone's secret warez habits, it's a little less cool for the person who has actually had to work hard for their stuff, to be accused of it. Reminds me of Argitoth's comments towards the guy with cancer.

arrrrr!

Nah seriously. As somebody who has to turn around every penny twice I know what the stuff costs. Collossus for example (1000USD). Okay there was a groupbuy, but even here it was still way over 600USD, similar with StormDrum (which still costs a bunch), or the hosts that GLL uses - only Logic and ProTools were missing.

I mean... not my problem, but it sure is obvious that there's something wrong with some of those lists unless you're rich, have a sponsor (rare issue) or work as tester for that specific firm you got the VST/VSTi/host from. It simply glares at you.

Sorry if I'm a bit picky about that, even though my vest isn't purely white either. However only till I pay for the next tool, which always gives wallet a critical hit.

Now please excuse me while I use the toilet flush, arrrr! ;)

*for those who don't get it, the answer to the "closet pirate"*
