 I've owned it since version 5 and now I think they're around v.11. Basic upgrades are free for life, but they'll tease you and taunt you with a ton of plug-ins and enhancements that you can have for just a few extra paychecks. It's a very involved program with a ton of tutorials and lots of community support but when I first bought it, I was having trouble getting my sound card drivers to function while I was connected to the internet so I got tired of the hassles and disconnected from it. The tunes that are here were made with FL Producer Edition v.6, my old collection of SoundFonts (using their sound font player) and some free VST softsynths like those you can find at Krakli.com and some VST support sites.  Run time - (3:50) A.K.A. "The Arm Pit Song" as the first thing I wrote was that chunky part in a JX softsynth. It had some interesting artifacts that I pulled for a counter-line, threw in a flute part and then added the weird whale songs.

It's got some of my favorite old Aureal Vortex choir soundfonts that I pulled from my old audio card and a bass fall near the end because I always liked the one Sting pulled when he was with The Police.
Lift and Soar  There's an FL plug-in called Slayer that emulates guitar synth sounds. Since this was easier than trying to figure out how to connect a real electric guitar into my computer's sound card without EQ issues, I took the low road.  Run time - (2:09)
Fun, "Bleak Future," tune where I played with FL's various vocal synths where you type in some words and they vocalize it. It's somewhere between the alarm going off in the morning transitioning into a social commentary. |
