I miss my FL5

celtaidd	Date: November 7, 2007 @ 3:26 PM My PC went kaput and took my FL5 with it Now it wants me to get a new reg code cos my old one is out of date. Serves me right I suppose (Must be nice when you can afford these things
ChillinBuzz	Date: November 7, 2007 @ 4:10 PM I had a suggestion but I remember the last time someone spoke about naughty codes/copies of FL...
BasicBoy	Date: November 7, 2007 @ 4:42 PM luckyly i will never have that problem.i didnt exactly buy fl
celtaidd	Date: November 7, 2007 @ 4:46 PM BasicBoy your lucky, if it wasnt such a naughty thing to steal software, I'd have to ask how come you havent had the problem
BasicBoy	Date: November 7, 2007 @ 4:56 PM im not lucky im just skint so i carnt afford it.
celtaidd	Date: November 7, 2007 @ 5:06 PM Neither can I
ChillinBuzz	Date: November 7, 2007 @ 7:01 PM I'd exercise a small degree of caution when admitting to using pirated software... For obvious reasons.
leedsquietman	Date: November 7, 2007 @ 11:29 PM If you can't afford software, there are some good free or low cost alternatives to using cracks which regularly expire or don't work properly or cause HD f*** ups and registry disasters. Examples - 1) Kristal v1 for audio recording - FREE 2) Audacity (you already know about it) free 3) Reaper - bloody amazing software for $50 for a non commercial license and the upgrade to the pro license (175 extra dollars) is based totally on the honesty and goodwill of the user. 4) Buy a soundcard from Maudio, Presonus, EMU, etc. They usually bundle Sonar LE, Cubase LE, or Ableton Live Lite and sometimes reason adapted and synth vsts too. OK, this option is going to cost but you will get miles better performance from the pro audio card than an inbuilt crappy soundcard with low latency ASIO drviers as opposed to terrible windows mme drivers. Fruity Loops Studio is as cheap as chips, it's only the producer version with the extra synths like Sytrus and Directwave sample player etc. that costs a packet. Sonar and Cubase also have low cost versions which are pretty functional Cubase SE3, Sonar Home Studio etc that can do quite a lot. Or enrol at a college course and then qualify for educational discounts. You can get 40-50% of the cost of Fruity Loops producer, Sonar 7 Studio or producer, Ableton Live, Adobe Audition, Cubase 4 or 4 studio, etc. Or for 39 dollars a month, Samplitude Pro, for rent. Also ebay or craigslist but be careful, be very careful that you are not being sold cracked copies. Cubase without a dongle is ALWAYS a crack. If you get spiel about a dongle emulator it is not an official demo version, it's a H20 crack. Be sure that serial numbers will be transferred to you. Probably best to avoid unless you know/trust the seller.

Woof	Date: November 7, 2007 @ 11:56 PM At just $99 for the FL Standard Edition, and $149 for the FL Producer Edition, FruityLoops is definitely one of the most reasonably priced pieces of software out there. Considering that fact that registered owners get a guarantee of Lifetime Downloadable Free Upgrades, it's a darned good investment... if you use it regularly. Last year, I bought an Edirol UA-4fx USB Audio Interface (which I really needed). It came bundled with a FREE copy of SonarLE, which even works on Vista! I think I have a custom version of Steinberg Cubasis that came with a Tascam US-224 from a couple of years ago, too. It's amazing what you get thrown in, when you actually buy some of this stuff!
NickSawyer	Date: November 8, 2007 @ 9:40 AM If you are looking to not exactly buy FL, a point of advice is to get FL5 and NOT FL6 or later. I said nothing
TheTimbreWolf	Date: November 9, 2007 @ 3:15 PM Lifetime Downloadable Free Upgrades thats partially true...i got a warning the last time i redownloaded my reg code for producer edition. saying they monitor how many times i've downloading it and consider that abusing the download feature. i've went through quite a few PC's and Harddrive wipes and end up having to redownload FL and the RegCode and apparently they dont like it lol.
djeffectz	Date: November 14, 2007 @ 9:25 PM I have had to download it a few times now (I have 3 computers I OWN and USE with FL on it, and a few user accounts on one of them). I haven't gotten a warning, but I'd be more than happy to prove my honesty to them if need be one day. I love FL Studio and it was WELL WORTH the money for lifetime upgrades (a measly $50 ontop what I paid for my original software). Looking forward to version 8.
