FL for children,
BeatMaker2 for men!
Let's see now...
Tenori-On....groundbreaking matrix sequencer now for iPad, as used by countless cutting edge musicians including the legendary Atom TM....
....or....
Fruityloops Studio which I have (not very) fond memories of kids in a local college studio trying to bang out Eminem covers on.....
mmmm......
and to add insult to injury, FL still DOESN'T WORK ON A MAC!!!!
I'm sure FL will do well (although BM2 and NS are cheaper and in many cases better), but no Mac version says it all to me- ie will development for iOS be dropped if the iPad eventually falls from grace, while the developers move once again to the next latest and greatest? (not that I think iOS will, in the next few years). :?
I agree
As much as image line try and make fruity loops pro
it will never be being Pc only.
I cannot believe that they are so stupid to only use Flash video on their site
http://www.image-line.com/documents/flstudiomobile.html
It is designed for iPad and iPhone but the video is unviewable on those devices. So crazy! Consequently, I have my doubts about this app—if they can't get right something so basic as this.
I hope xewton gets back to releasing the promised updates for musicstudio now.
Poor timing for FL Studio release. Too many other great apps released or being released .... just not worth $20 let alone $25 after they raise it. MeTeoR is great for laying down tracks and there's also apps for the Mac IO such as NLog that will work with Garageband so I'm not going to invest in another DAW that's not Mac compatible. Loving Horizon Synth at only $5 (what a great deal) and waiting to spend my money on Samplewiz and TNR-i when it's released in the US.
I suppose had FL Studio been priced at around $5.00 I might have impulsed bought it just to check it out and play with it a bit.
I remember some posts coming down on people bashing FL before it came out.
How do you like us now? Probably as much as you like this app.
Found the answer to my question yesterday about being able to edit patches:
"frankly the devices it runs on don't have the CPU power to perform the synthesis you are used to on a desktop. FL Studio Mobile uses high quality sample based instruments made from Image-Line plugins and sample packs."
So they gimped the iPad version to keep it inline with the iPhone? This is just an over-priced sample arranger, that you can't add samples to!

"and to add insult to injury, FL still DOESN'T WORK ON A MAC!!!!"
Why bother taking time to develop software for a platform that less than 6% of the world's population own?
"Why bother taking time to develop software for a platform that less than 6% of the world's population own?"
It's called "looking ahead". Firstly, Mac is the original platform of choice for the home studio afficianado...
Secondly, I don't trust your figures. Increasingly, desktops are becoming obsolete, as notebooks have become powerful enough to replace them (for most users). When I go to the library, Starbucks, etc., 2 out of 5 computers I see are Macs (that's 40%, by the way). Granted, those are "personal" users... but what major corporations, using an all-Windows work environment, are allowing their drones to run FruityLoops?
In short, only the HOME based market (and music industry)counts when considering the percentage of Macs vs. WinX machines being used; I'm sure that 94% you so arbitrarily arrived at doesn't seperate out that market.
@Anonymous .... I believe it's more like 12% and growing .... and those 12% are the more likely to be music creative types since most Windows users are either business or gamers with probably far fewer musicians that Mac users. Macs are really made for Artists, Photographers and Musicians.
Damn!!
Could've,Should've,Would've bought a Mac.
Unless I'm wrong all these apps are made on Mac
Credit due.
@ Marlene 'macs are made for artists, photographers and musicians' - it is precisely this sort of attitude that kept me wary of the pretentious, somewhat naive Mac craze for years. Just how you think Macs are better for these creative types I'd like to know, other than the 'creative' marketing that macworld makes us swallow. Macs are fantastic, most stable machines, but they're still tools and wonderful things can be made on pcs just as well.
Just payed precious money for this really disapointing app. Pales to oblivion compared to Nanostudio and Beatmaker2. Can't import any sound files ? Can't bus effects ? Now i 'm stuck with this toy.
@tom why are you always complaining about this stuff.... time moves... people and programs die... in the end.
Even if there was a mac version, does that guarantee that it will be supported forever? flstudio has been supported this long... it won't be around forever and neither will anything else. Just write some good music with it and get over it already.
Sorry to get involved in a fanboi debate but seriously, you go to any world class studio in the western world or japan, and they're running their DAW on a Mac. Abbey Road, Air, Sarm, Ocean Way, Hit Factory (as it was), Capitol, Village, Skywalker, Todd AO, Plus XXX in Paris.etc, etc. All on Macs. Mastering houses are pretty much all on Windows 'cause of Sadie, but anywhere involving multitrack audio, where you might have an orchestra costing thousand of dollars a minute, it's a Mac. This is not snobbery or marketing or a preference for brushed aluminium, it's a simple matter of reliability and consistency.
I worked in studios for 10 years as a freelance engineer. I had a windows box come through the door twice. In both cases, we had to hire a Mac to get the job done, 'cause the windows machine refused to play nice.
Fact is, because apple control the hardware specs, developers have less of a battle in terms of third party drivers, etc, and the end result is, without question, a more reliable platform.
I was excited ... but does it have only a single common effect bus for everything ? WTF ?
Anon, that's not my point.
Because iPad is an Apple product, it is a natural assumption that the Mac will also be supported (considering they are the same company). But the makers of FL have never supported the Mac, and they made a point that they never would, preferring to concentrate on the development of the PC version (or that's what the devs told me in a letter I wrote to them, 10 years back). So why the interest now in the iPad? Simple, because FL are there to make money, and Windows, as you quite rightly point out has the biggest amount of seats out there (it's growing- more like 15% now :) ).
So here comes the version for the iPad, because as figures now suggest, the iPad has now taken over sales of PC's in the USA. So naturally the makers of FLS want a piece of the action. Which is why I worry that development will drop if interest in the iPad wanes. And why there is still no Mac version.
And yes Marlene, PC's are just as capable of running Photoshop as Macs. The difference is that anyone who has used a Mac knows that using a PC is like having sex while wearing a coat of amour wrapped in a giant latex body outfit (a condom to you and me!! ;) ) Lol!
@Marlene
"I believe it's more like 12% and growing"
uhmm.. OSX still only has 7.4% in 2011. In the US its a little higher (closer to 10%). Look at my link in the bottom of this comment.
@Icepulse
"It's called "looking ahead"
Do you believe the same about Android?
"Secondly, I don't trust your figures. "
Well, that is your problem not mine. Do your research if you don't believe me. :)
@Matt Hooper
"Unless I'm wrong all these apps are made on Mac. Credit due."
Wrong. A lot of app developpers uses Hackintoshes OSX86 builds, mostly because OSX computers costs way over 1000$.
@Everyone
Thank you for taking my bait with so much pride. You all have proven to be true Mac/OSX users. Not that I'm saying its a bad thing, but there are reasons to why there are so few of you.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems
.. yeah.. you have been trolled :D
I just want to add that in 2011, when Lion will be released, FINALLY!!, OSX will be able to resize windows using any corners!! I've been waiting 2 decades for this.
That my friend, is progress :D
@Icepulse
"It's called "looking ahead"
Do you believe the same about Android?"
Sure. In another 15 years.
"Secondly, I don't trust your figures. "
"Well, that is your problem not mine. Do your research if you don't believe me. :)"
It's incumbant upon YOU to furnish the source of your claims. That's how it works.
Cite your source, or shut it.
Anyone noticed that FL Studio Mobile is very similar to MusicStudio? The same weird FX bus structure, same layout of buttons along the top, almost identical.
Looks like FL Studio Mobile is a repackaged version of MusicStudio?
@Icepulse
"Do you believe the same about Android?"
Sure. In another 15 years."
Oh..so what is good for OSX is not good for Android?... you dummy :) ..
"Cite your source, or shut it."
I DID cite my source. But you don't want to READ them... or CAN you read?, or are you only GOOD to type all CAPS words to express your anger/IGNORANCE??
Here is my source.. AGAIN :

@Anonymous
"Looks like FL Studio Mobile is a repackaged version of MusicStudio?"
It is. Its even made by the Xewton guy.
@Icepulse
Hey dummy, here's a few other sources (cause I have a feeling you will blatantly dismiss the first one). Some of them have graphics for people like you who can't read.

Now shut it?
people, people, people. can't we all just get along.
seriously though, arguments about installed base are extremely uninteresting, and co-incidentally, utterly irrelevant. each to their own. each system has its advantages. each has its disadvantages. it really, really, really is what you do with it that counts.
i know people with multicore beats of computers that can't write a f*cking note, and i know people who can make you weep with a cassette four track.
now, all of you, get back to work.
yeah.. I'm sorry y'all ... Its just that I get strangled by emotions when someone challenges my Operating System of choice.
No worries Icepulse. I feel your anguish :)
I guess the PC fanbois will never quite get it.
Guys, you should really watch this :D

Every internet arguments in 40 seconds.
Haw. Someone impersonated me, there. I'm never that humble or apologetic.
I'm not offended by the allegation, tho. I'm only a cannot because I jumped ship, back when some "anonymous" posters were still pooping in the tub, I'll wager! I built my own Windows machine back in '95, and although never a "tech level" user, I was easily the "go to" for dozens of friends and co-workers.
Anyway, when I bought a Mac, it was simply because, when it was time to get a new computer, I thought the investment would be more satisfying if I had a new learning experience attached to it. That was the main reason I moved to a Mac. What I discovered was that I was really bored to death of the constant virus definition updates and malware scrubbing that was a part of my life, up til that point. The constant need to fuck with the machine got old for me. I found I was more productive, creatively, on the Mac, simply because less of my time was spent dealing with other headaches inherent in the Windows OS.
Anyway, I work on Win7 at my job, and it's pretty nice. I may very well go w/ a Win7 notebook for my next machine, but it'll be less for online activities, and more for DAW applications. I prefer browsing on a device that has better immunity to attacks. The closed architecture of an iPad makes it ideal for consumption. And I love the interface for synths. I use iPad apps pretty exclusively as instruments, rather than for DAW functionality. I usually just run a line out into a dedicated 8-Track recorder, or into Logic (depending on my mood and / or location).
So, as you can see, I'm hardly a fanboy, or rather I'm a fan of many systems.
@giku yep, it's the same waste-of-routing that xewton featured. I don't get it. The CPU hit is primarily having the effects, less-so the routing, why not offer more flexible routing? We're not all noobs here...
Get iSequence ;) *ad*
"Haw. Someone impersonated me, there. I'm never that humble or apologetic. "
Nice to see that it's not only me who gets mocked. :)
Start a blog account! It's easy! Then we know who the real Icepulse is! :D
meh, just meh
@giku any plans to port some of the ipad features of isequence to the ipod touch version? I'm hearing all these wonderful things about it...
I love to use FL Studio and this app will be my next chose for my productions. Great blog!
