I have to say, FL Studio is definitely bound by the constrains of old-school desktop software thinking. For example, in this video, to change the sound of a pad requires four separate buttons [Tracks, Step Sequencer, Channel Control, Sample Select], three different screens and a menu. That's just craziness! Whatever happened to 'Tap and Hold' people [with maybe a toggle to avoid accidental presses].
Some apps are clearly designed for the iPad's unique interface, some are just ports of the same old clunky software. I'm sorry, but for me FL Studio is firmly entrenched in a bygone era.
Just threw 15 € out the window- i deleted Fruityloops app. With faithfull Nanostudio and Beatmaker friends at hand, FL feels invasive and rudimentary. I will stick to my guns and get things done in a refined way.
Not so much a miss as a wish to keep the creative process "music centered" and not "app centered". That's why SoundYeah is a great and simple under-developed app that should not be forgotten.

ReplyDeleteInteresting. It's a miss then?

ReplyDeleteYou are totally right, having menus is outdated.
Its so much better to have 30 different swipes that are not the same in every apps.
But seriously, I prefer Loopy over Everyday looper because it has buttons.
huwshelton exaggerates. Making music with FL mobile is fast and efficient. Bought it, love it win!
