Can't spell crap without rap, amen brother by the winstons.

 

If you need to have always the latest version then buy it can't afford it well get a loan at a bank 500$/€ at 24 month plan to give the money back is an option if you are making music professionally this is obvious solution if for not professional hobby or whatever old version works good also like others mentioned demo version is quite good if you don't need to keep working on a project i haven't used the demo of the recent fl versions but older fl demo can export the mix you made but can't save/load the project if you wanted to keep working on it also it seems people don't have issues getting 1000$/€ phones on 24 month contract from carriers for something that will last at max 4 years investing in something that can generate money is wise

 

@ACAS @ArticStorm Actually I meant registration name, not the code as pointed out by @lasceed
It is very easy to find whether a project was made with legit or fake FL by finding whether ID_Project_RegName is empty (see pic below)

 

i doubt anybody will care to check that working with somebody, but good to know.

i mean FL records, who has created the project, so i doubt this was done on purpose.

 

Image-Line do check it probably when people share their projects for adding them to demos, but yeah, its a single click away from being edited when you know how it jumbles your name

 

Idk why R2R stopped FL cracking but for now, I think its time to save some money and buy a legit version if you really love the DAW

 

it smells very bad, it deciphers other DAWs but FL does not, I will not dare to say what I think because I am sure the community will hit me and has always refused, but it smells

 

@therealslimsh4dy do you read R2R nfos? if you do you don't read them enough the webscene group have set a path to punish rogue, greedy, evil (ex Tone2) professional audio software developers they don't aways stick to the agenda but they usually do they mention that in the nfo like the release they do on a 5$-11$ synth that was an completely mess if you thinking they are paid by the FL developer to not release it is very unlikely people said the same thing for AiR im sure some versions may get out in the wild by P2P also you don't get the point of R2R mission

 

I'm just saying it's weird, make no mistake, thanks to them I could start in this business and I already have more than 70% of the programs purchased and I still use the broken versions, I'm just saying it's not normal, I'll keep thanking them and I'll name them when I get 1 grammy.

 

As a user of FL Studio for many years, keeping in mind its competitive price and free lifetime updates, I don't think a company like Image-Line deserve to be cracked, cracking is for profit oriented companies that don't give a damn about their legit customers and music in general.
