I use fruity loops as well as many other tools and hardware.
Fruity loops is excellent for doing certain things.
I notice that a lot of you like to listen to hiphop,gangsta rap kind of stuff which i dont do really,however i did try to do one track ages ago that used vocals of this kind.
I made it with fruity loops and a midi keyboard and used some royalty free vocal samples that were in fruity loops already.
All the actual music and drums i made up as i went along:blsmoke:

i used cubase on "hotfoot" that was my first multitrack recording.we have 8 songs on the cd i used 6 tracks for the drums, 1 for bass. and 1 for guitar then dubbed guitar again to give it more punch recording your own shit is fun but hard because you cant mix with an un-bias ear.

reason is real easy to get for free too. I only use it for drum sequencing, but if your not running a DAW then its a sick program to have for all sorts of shit

how the fuck much is HD now. shit was like 40,000 when i was in school. i cant imagine that setup for a home studio unless your like el-p or dan the automator.

you can get an hd for under 10,000 now..but the hd 192 and all that gets as expensive as anything out there now. Once you do have the dam hd you need to spend like 10,000 on new mics cause that shit will expose your cheaper mics.

honestly, i put more faith in the mic than the audiocard. ive heard two different neumann's on a firewire 1814, pro tools LE setup and they were amazing. i got my degree in audio engineering and from what ive experienced in recording at home/studio the mics make more of a difference. ive got two b.l.u.e bluebirds for vox and guitar and a handful of sm58's and for what i do the mics are amazing compared to my hardware. i do run an expensive set up, but when i decide to buy equipment i go all out and get the best affordable. i still think HD is pointless in a home studio unless your running your own label. i have yet to meet anyone that has covered their expenses in a home studio by engineering. prove me wrong...

with everything you can do digital at home now it eliminates half the things you use to need to get a great sound(as long as you have a little engineer and creativity in you). Just get some quality mics..i love the Line 6 POD series for tracking guitar and bass, if you learn how to tweak it right you can get a sound equal to any mic'd cab. You ever work wit line 6 gear bot?

i recorded with the pod in a studio and it did give my bass some serious punch on the direct track

yea I have, not for extensive periods of time though. I helped a friend of mine setup cubase with the pod, and tracked some death metal shit for him. Not really my cup of tea as far as death metal, but the guitar sounded great. He was using a tripple rectifier mesa, but only with 2 sm58s and it sounded just how we wanted after a little mixing.
