Same here. I have both Acid Pro and FL Studio. I am sick of having limited control over my music with both software. I want some new equipment, but I don't have the money. Damn, that equipment looks pretty good.

Sure, that's a cool audio interface. You can do a lot more with it than, let's say, a Soundblaster X-Fi, but it's not going to change much about how you use software to make music... unless it comes bundled with some really cool new programs.

I use FL Studio in my own completely bizarre and wacky way and I can pull out some stuff from it that sounds fairly original. You gotta make the software your bitch, not the other way around. Smack it around a little, it will respond...

On another note... I saw Audio Kontrol in a magazine recently and decided I wanted it too! I really want a firewire external audio interface. I get way to much interferance from my PC fans on my X-Fi...

You've given me an idea. Wait until tomorrow and FL Studio will be mine.

I think someone being frustrated with the tools at their disposal is just fine.

I banged my head against software for the past couple of years (odd, since software is my background) and didn't really start to feel comfortable until I pretty much moved exclusively to hardware. It just depends on the user.

To each their own.. and all that jazz. Insert another cliche here.

Organ + Guitar + Goldwave + FL Studio (+ Magic) = Milieu

Can't diss on the Fruity.

Ageed! My fondest music creating memories are back with my Gran's Casio 3-10, percussion, drum machine, compressor, reverb unit and a 4- Track. Listening to some old recordings I made stuff sound great without even realising. Now I spend hours trying to emulate that sort of thing! Sort of silly really...

ahhh that sounds lovely!

i will say the shit you can do with computers now-a-days is fucking crazy...you would never need a single real instrument and you could make these eleborate tracks that sound amazing. i have no problem with that what so ever, it's just not very appealing to me as far as making music. i have been doing things a certain way for so long and that way just feels right...wouldnt want to change it...

so much FL hatred!!
There is no limit with FL-Studio....and if there was, you should push that limit to the furthest.

the song from scarface keeps playing in my head when i read this post...

"push it to the limit..."

Artist: Paul Engemann Lyrics
(Push It To The Limit)

Push it to the limit
Walk along the razor's edge
but don't look down, just keep your head
and you'll be finished

Open up the limit
past the point of no return
You've reached the top but still you gotta learn
how to keep it

Hit the wheel and double the stakes
throttle wide open like a bat out of hell
and you crash the gates
(crash the gates)

Going for the back of beyond
Nothing gonna stop you
there's nothing that strong
So close now you're nearly at the brink
so, push it

(Ooo yeah)

Welcome to the limit
(The limit)
Take it maybe one step more
The power game's still playing so
you better win it

Push it to the limit
(The limit)
With no one left to stand in your way
you might get careless, but you'll never be safe
while you still feel it

Welcome to the limit
(The limit)
Standing on the razor's edge
don't look down just keep your head
and you'll be finished

Welcome to the limit
(The limit)
(The limit)
(The limit)
(The limit)

Push it to the limit
(The limit)
(The limit)
(The limit)
(The limit)

(The limit)
(The limit)
(The limit)
(The limit)

Push it to the limit
(The limit)
(The limit)
(The limit)
(The limit)

Wow, some serious computer hatred in here.

As long as it sounds good it shouldnt matter what software your using. People who abuse soft synths kind of bug me tho. I dont really like that sound, it generally lacks character, I think every sound should have a little work and sweat behind it. I respect people who mold their sound outside of the computer a little bit more.
