Yes the Jury has weighed in
Imma tell you, I have had or still do have in my possession for production, yamaha Rs7k, yamaha motif, triton LE, Mpc2000, Emu mp7, Emu sp12, s950....all for hip hop production and a vestax table....these all are fun to produce on and make the hottest tracks I have sold or produced.......but I also used Sonar, Cakewalk pro audio, cubase.....with the grid sequencing and vst instruments.....all are cool......I have owned Fruity loops for like about 2 years and recently dabbled in this beast.....and then took an entire month and sat down with it......let me tell you you can make some bangin tracks with it......because you can load any sample in it....so it's actually based on technical specs if ran on a 2 gigahertz box with a gig of ram......superior to an mpc, or any of the keyboards I own for production and yes I am telling the truth I don't know about the studio version......but the only weakness that I can see in this product is the quantization is not as tweakable as with say a motif sequencer, or mpc......but overall I could do a cd with beats from all of my equipment and the mixes and tracks with Fruity are the ones that people seem to like most...but I don't make that many tracks with Fruity because I like the OL school way of bangin the pads and keys on my external equipment and then recording in protools.....I guess I like to work the hard way.....LOL
