IMO, the main disadvantage to fruityloops is its playlist
I agree. Its a pain in the ass to do change-ups and one-shot fx sequencing, since you have to build a new pattern for each. However, waiting to do change-ups/variations/sound fx sweetening AFTER your basic track is built is a sound approach anyway (productive artists typically work from general to specific). Im not trying to defend Fruity as perfect for everyone, nor insist everyone work my way- Im just making a point about how limitations can be used to actually help the process by providing a framework, and in many cases inspire creativity and progress the artform. A Mixer article recently with Moorcheeba stressed this- they will often limit themselves intentionally in order to challenge their thinking, with the search for solutions leading to creative innovation. For ages artists from all disciplines have done the same. ;)
BTW, I wouldnt defend many other programs with such vigor- the only reason I would recommend working with the limitations/pains of Fruity Loops is that they are, to my mind, so few of them. The ease of use, limited CPU usage, and other boons of this brilliant program are worth the trouble. It really does give back what you put into it, not to mention the freekin thing IMPORTS BUZZ MACHINES!!!! lol :)
