Tracking / Re: FL Studio VS Ableton for tracker support [resolved]

« on: March 06, 2025, 20:27:43 »

Hi @talkorbell.  If I was exclusively into making electronic music, then you are right: Ableton or Fl Studio is probably overkill.  Renoise: maybe.  However, I'm also an analog musician and do a fair bit of analog recording.  I have been chafing at the limits of Audacity for a while, and am trying to choose a DAW that best supports my various interests.  Making mod music is definitely an interest, thus this thread.  I figured it would be best to ask in case there was something I was overlooking.

Huh, ok.  So flexibility in manipulating the data.  That's nice.

Cool!  This is informative, thanks!

One last thing.  Your prior comment made it sound like sampling in FL Studio is more than just "record from microphone to file".  What are one or two ways that you find sampling with FL Studio really good, if you don't mind?

Tracking / Supporting tracker work with FL Studio VS Ableton

>> Working on a DAW and a tracker are incomparable IMO.

Right, thanks for your insight.  I'm specifically interested in how a DAW can help support working with a tracker.  It seems like it'd help with creating samples and instruments.  Perhaps it could help in less obvious ways?

Anyway, as a support for tracker work, my question is whether one DAW would be superior to another, specifically Ableton and FL Studio.  Also, if one is superior, then why?

Tracking / FL Studio VS Ableton for tracker support [resolved]

tldr - Thinking about buying a DAW.  When considered as a support for tracker work, are there any particular advantages to Ableton or FL Studio?

I'm an OpenMPT user with an interest in writing mod music for video games where I can toggle tracks for different moods.  I'm also a musician and have used Audacity for live recording for a while.  I'm considering getting either Ableton or FL Studio.  I'm wondering if either one provides superior support for tracker work in any way.  This would primarily be in regards to making new samples and instruments.

FYI, I'm interested in Ableton's time stretching and looping, but I've read that FL Studio has good sample editing.  Better than Ableton's?  Both have midi support with a piano roll.

Any insight into advantages of one over the other for tracker composing would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
