Re: fruityloops



Rob - I agree...

At first I thought the program was good in concept - get some loops
together quickly, see what works, what doesn't, etc...

Unfortunately, it seems geared to turntablists - to the extent
that the beat resolution severely limits the range of things
that can be done - fairlt simple things like 'track sliding',
i.e. shifting a loop track incrementallly either forward or
backward in time. (it *is* computer-based, so it should be
simple to accomplish).

Got bored and frustrated quickly, deleted it from my drive...
To be fair, its not strickly a looping program despite its
name - its main audience is MOD trackers.
