FL Studio 11

Thoughts?

Looks nice, wonder how long before someone cracks it ;)

Already out. I am about to post it in a few minutes.

I really like FL as it's interface is so user friendly. However, the main issues came from when it was time to export a mix down .WAV. It didn't seem to sound as good as it should of, I might have been using the wrong codecs ? Not sure really.

When I was producing, I would create my stems in FL and then send them over to Ableton.

Not upgrading, it's pointless lol.

why's it pointless to you? even if you get it for free...?

FL Engine / Interface
Multi-touch support - I'll leave the live performances to Ableton
Right-click data entry - I guess that's nice - never have really come across a scenario where this would help, as most of the time I just hit "Copy value" and "Paste value"
Horizontal/Vertical movement locking - Only the lazy need this
Menus - Not even positive what this does
Instrument Channels - So used to rerouting through the channel settings, that I'd never end up using this
Linking includes MIDI input port - N/A
Content Library & Downloaded - I dont download content libraries lol
Improved Tap Tempo - Barely use tap
Improved Tempo automation - I suppose this would benefit me when I try to make multi genre tuens
New controllers supported - N/A
Unique controller MIDI input port - N/A

New Plugins
BassDrum - Actually seems interesting, I'm gonna check it out more.
GMS (Groove Machine Synth) - I don't need another synth lol
Effector - N/A
VFX Key Mapper - N/A
VFX Color Mapper - N/A

Updated Plugins
DirectWave - Already have
Harmor - Already have
Newtone 2 - Pointless when the original Newtone works for my uses
Synthmaker (Flowstone) - I don't use this at all lol (and I don't plan on using it either)

Piano roll
Click-and-hold functions in piano roll - Glue notes: Minor tweak that will do little for me Mouse wheel velocity: I can already do this by holding alt and scrolling over notes lol Mouse wheel tools: Not sure what this brings up, won't bother
Brush tool - Can't tell what this does
Chop chords - Not sure about this either

Playlist
Performance Mode - I will never use this, performance modes don't appeal to me
Options > Project general settings > Play truncated notes in clips - I suppose this would be helpful
Select - Probably would never remember to use it either
Playlist - I barely use half of 99 per track

Mixer
Mixer - Page Up/Down: Lol, useless to me

Browser
Plugin Picker - I hate Plugin Picker. haha

While I admit there are some tweaks in the new update that would be nifty, they're not big enough tweaks for me to justify updating. Keep in mind, of course, these are just my opinions.

Imo, these are really nice functions. I use the MIDI input a lot and performance mode is really nice as well. Considering it's free (since you're either pirating or bought it once and get the updates free) and its only 200mb, I'd say its worth it. Besides you know in a month or 2 everyone who uses FL will have this version anyway, and making collabs would probably require you to download this to get the project loaded properly :P

Most of the people I collab with use only Reason, so I'd just stem them out lol
