Wow, excellent !!

 

Old key don't work and all plugins are demo,
still good to mess around with to see what changes there making

 

"

Finally! Now some PDC tweaking and FL12 is a flawless DAW...

 

i know this was possible before too, but if this works as i hope, it will be a huge resource saver.

 

Useless as usual. Yes you can quick render as audio, but you can't choose how to do it. You don't have options to render without fx, to render with tails and etc. Yes can do it manually, but ffs why the hell they made such focus on this feature? Dead company, dead daw.

Hell yeah, with this tempo we will finally get realtime fades for audio clips and proper freeze option in FL20.

GAMECHANGER (no)

 

Anyone (without working or legit key) who needs a fix for the beta, just write me a pm.
The fix also disables the expiration date. Greetings!

 

Any image of the new durectwave gui please?

 

Here ya go:


looks quite nice!

 

Looks promising.........

 

bro the freeze option are coming in fl13

 

As far as i understood, "render audio in place" is what they mean under their "freeze" title. Or not?

 

Wait a minute ...What you mean old serial not working???Imageline changed Activation algorithm?

Any news about a new keygen? The latest doesn't work

 

Send a message to @r4e

 

Thanks dude, I just write to him

 

Any comments about the limited features? Or my personality is much brighter? lol
I understand that young rap producer like you simply has no idea what i'm talking about (tails and other rudimentary part's of body, fades, audioclips), but let's be honest - it's your problems. Not mine.

You have pattern picker in your playlist. Sure, cool. Now you are able to group patterns (comedy as it is but k, nvm) - fine. But you have zero visual representation of it. You always need to click something in endless drop down bullshit menus. It doesn't make your workflow faster. In fact it makes your workflow slower.

You have render in place - cool. But you can't render without fx. You need disable fx manually. It doesn't speed up your workflow, it's just eating your time. And the most terrible part - it doesn't render tails. If yo have reverb in your mixer insert - it will cut the tail.

The mixer... Should i really tell why it so bad?
This is the misunderstanding of ergonomics and linear logic in Image Line's developer's heads.

It reminds me old good times on reason forum. When ppl was like: "OMG, VST? ARE YOU RETARD? TIME STRETCH? MELODYNE? PITCH SHIFT? GO AWAY WEIRD GUY!"

And what now? THANKS GOD WE HAVE VST in 2017.

Fact that you are not able to realize how huge ergonomic and logic problems fruity loops has - doesn't make your position right.

But its so pretty tho. And its got a built-in visualizer and a little dancing sprite. LoL.
I really tried to like it. More than once now. I can deal with workarounds. Thats just a part of every workflow. Im just in love with Ableton. No going back for me anymore. If I need serious recording and comping (and track count) I use REAPER which is the same price point, but you don't get the fancy plugs. Image line has a few really good ones too. Ive made a couple songs in FL but wont unless I have to.
