I assume this post was before it was fixed, but I thought I'd leave a link to the issue tracker in case it pops up again, or in case anybody isnt aware that the issue tracker exists! https://github.com/weeklybeats/issues/issues/17

i was not aware of this, tyvm!

it's like cheating at a board game while playing casually with mates. if you feel the need to do it, go ahead, but you'll always be the guy who cheated at board games, and if you can live with that, you probably need the excitement more than we do.

Didn't do much last year musically; focused mainly on work. Contract's over, so back to the DAW it is for me.

  • Get better with recording live stuff, even if my gear just consists of a SingStar microphone and some rusty old mic stand I yanked out of some abandoned truck last year,

  • Pick up my Gameboy and get to work on some more chip stuff (hopefully my Amiga should be fixed soon too),

  • FM synthesis has always intrigued me. I want to learn the ins and outs of it this year.

I've used Renoise, Ableton, Reason, and FL Studio in the past. I've been using FL since I was 13 and messing with loops and drums, and I still use it because of how much I know it. I'm still learning stuff about it even now.

Reason is a synthesis brute. You can get some really nice sounds out of it. The sequencer is shit, though. I'll usually just rewire Reason's synths into FL.

Ableton Live is really prim and proper and has knobs that do everything. The macro feature was awesome when I used it. But it never really stuck with me like FL did. The whole process never really clicked.

Renoise was good, but I get tired of trackers quickly, and I'm a visual learner - if the automation clip says "make this knob turn up to 90% over three bars", FL shows that in a nice graphical format.

FL Studio does everything I need it to; the pros of it far outweigh the pros of any other DAW I've used. I just wish it had Reason's synths and Ableton's automation features.
