Yeah, I've never had an issue with sound quality and I use the iPad version. The problem is it's limited functionality, as VCMG said. There's a lot of things you simply cannot do in it.

I started using fruityloops 2 back in '01, then let it slide after '07 or so and picked up FL STudio 10 about six months back, when I got back in to the electronica full-time

Cheers guys. I already knew how to do what you're talking about (I use channel grouping and limliting a fair amount, particularly with overlapping drum loops or guitar parts), I just hadn't found myself in a position to need to try it yet, having used a previous max of four effects, I think

Still, that panning thing sounds interesting, I may also try it...

so, the theory I'm going to go with, is that I need to wait for 9am west coast time...

I'm liking it. It's been good to get in to a 'sit down and create something' habit again, which I'm sad to say I'd let slip. It's also helped me keep my momentum going for my 'one EP a semester' project, with three tracks already in my 'idea for consideration' folder, awaiting the next semester break.

I've set myself some mini-tasks along the way to force myself to use and get used to some plugins I may not have normally gone for, which should be ineresting (for me, at least) in coming months.

Welcome! ^_^
