Page move

Shouldn't perhaps the title of this article be FL Studio and have 'fruityloops' redirect there? - User:Cammoore

agree

I've posted to Requested moves asking for just that. —tregoweth 16:39, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)

Fruityloops → FL Studio

Fruityloops is the former name of a software package; FL Studio is the current name. —tregoweth 19:42, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)

• Support. Might as well keep the article up to date. Niteowlneils 18:24, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Screenshot

I could take a screen shot of FL studio but i'm not sure if screenshots are copyrighted or not. Can I post it under fair use?

Who cares? Just do it.

Name

Are you sure the name "FruityLoops" was a take-off"on Froot Loops? I've never heard that before. Are you sure ImageLine changed the name to FL Studio due trademark infringement? And not just to promote a more professional image? Scottf9 21:05, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

There was certainly fear of a trademark infringement lawsuit. There was discussion of the topic on the FL Studio forums some time ago. My understanding is that there was an actual threat of a lawsuit, but that may have been a misunderstanding.--152.23.68.167 04:39, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, in fact, there is evidence of the potential trademark infringement on the official website. [1]. Amit 23:03, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

links

The link to syntheway.net is totally inappropriate. Synheway makes VSTS, not things specifically made for FL studio. If it were appropriate to link to a VST website, I suggest: kvraudio.com which covers all music software without a bias.

FL Studio Usage

Didn't want to start adding anything here without asking for concensus.

I have some experience using FL Studio, am a registered user, and I've been toying with the idea of creating an FL Studio Wiki for its usage. A how-to guide so-to-speak. Due to my job I have the ability to create animated walkthroughs so I was thinking of putting up as many walkthroughs on how to do things with FL Studio as possible. Is this an acceptable place to put these walkthroughs, or should I keep them on my own site?

FreakBoy 01:18, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Freak, your user page link is broken, please drop me a line at User:ZyXoas. I'm an advanced FLStudio user and would be willing to talk with you about it - if you want.

-ZyXoas 10:58, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

FL studio is expensive. :( :( :(

If you read this, Wikiversity or Wikibooks would be perfect places for your walkthroughs. The Jade Knight 02:46, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Homosexual? What the?

What the hell is with that? I'm considering taking it down. Considering....

-NegativeCreep (Sorry, can't be stuffed logging in.)

yeah, my first thought was WTF!? i deleted the whole paragraph...

The original name "Fruity Loops" was abandoned in favor of "FL Studio" in order to promote a more professional image, to remove the possibility of a trademark infringement lawsuit from Kellogg's who produce Froot Loops breakfast cereal, and in part to reduce the possibility of conveying a homosexual image to users in countries with cultural homophobia, where "fruity" can also mean "homosexual".

-This was taken off part of their official website, its official information, like it or not. 213.78.252.146 16:52, 18 February 2007 (UTC) Isn't fruity loops is gay? I thought it was..

it is speculative, and absolutely irrelevant to the article.. if anyone wants to keep it, please at least provide source for those claims...

Reply: The sources I know of are the Image-line owners' and employees' posts on the message board for FL Studio registered users only. I'm not sure why the history of the name is "absolutely irrelevant".greyleonard 20:58, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Kind of makes the article seem a bit bad if thats the first damn thing you see, if you want it in the article move it into a seperate section, and please link to the thread? --NegativeCreep 01:59, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

There is mention of this in the FL Studio FAQ. (whoops, forgot to log in) 68.149.174.120 21:15, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't seem to see any mention of it at that link. The Jade Knight 02:49, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Go to the "Miscellaneous" link on the sidebar. Nac 01:26, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

"Hacked by Spy" ????????/

Looking for info on FL, just tried to access this page and all I got was "hacked by Spy".

Has someone deleted the page and, if so, is there any way we can get it back?

You can access old versions on the history tab. Here, you can also reset the article to an older state, which I just did.

Dear whoever said the above... I fixed the page to the revision before the "hacking of spy".

Dear Spy, That wasn't very nice to deleted all the information about FL Studio, I use it quite alot, its a great program. Please don't mess the Wiki up again! :(

It's really funny that some poor child thinks that editing Wikipedia counts as "hacking". The Jade Knight 02:50, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

.flp extention

Hello, Mitsura again. Just wondering if you could edit it to notify uses about the extention ".flp" also being used by the program Adobe (Macromedia) Flash. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitsura Tsuki (talk • contribs)

Edit: There you go :) And thanks for restoring the page --Hatrick — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hatrickpatrick (talk • contribs)

External Links

I removed one link in accordance to the recently revised WP:EL. greyleonard 20:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Trance/Techno?

FL Studio was mainly made for the genres trance and techno. Shouldn't this be noted? 213.78.252.146 23:09, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't know if this is a aproper space to mention it but I think i'm having the forementioned problem with the file association. I have FLASH and I used to be able to use my old but good FL 4 and now I can't. Ya'll noted the problem, but how do you keep these valuable programs while maintaining function? I would insert a link but I lack experience It's at the bottom of the article.

Generators

Shouldn't there be a different page for each different generator? And not only in FL Studio but other VSTi hosts, virtual studios and sequencers? --Orthologist 23:54, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

More FL Studio editions

Since I read the whole article, the tab of "FL Studio" editions is also missing FL Studio XXL. Technically speaking, "Producer Edition" has most of the generators, but the "XXL Edition" has all but two or three generators that FL Studio can offer. I feel that it would be more appropriate to have a more complete list of FL Studio editions. --Specter01010 04:34, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

correction

Hi, gol here. Just to mention that I did not create, nor own Image-Line. See here for more info: http://www.image-line.com/documents/team.html —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.242.204.122 (talk) 07:17, 20 March 2007 (UTC).

Inclusion in other articles/categories

why isn't fl studio in this article/catagorey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_audio_editor or this thable:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Audio_editors?71.246.18.86 (talk) 06:36, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Dead and half-dead links

The link FL Studio Tutorials is dead, while FL Studio Beat Making Tutorials links to a somehow broken site. —Precedingunsigned comment added by 221.115.75.46 (talk) 20:21, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Neutrality?

Someone disputed the neutrality of the article, but failed to offer a reason here on the talk page. Considering most information has been offered on various parts of their website, I'm going to remove the tag for now.

History section?

Any chance of one of these? I came here to find out when Fruityloops was first released, but that information is not included. It should be. 86.146.233.5 (talk) 17:17, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Shouldnt the history of FL be up here, ive been using fruity loops since it was called fruity tracks!! It would be a good idea.-58.104.246.107 00:49, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

I'll take care of writing a section for this sometime in 2009. --Djdimitrious (talk) 16:36, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

FruityLoops was never called FruityTracks. FruityTracks was a seperate program!--81.156.108.118 (talk) 06:45, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of unimportant info

I removed the bit about Newgrounds audio submitters using FL Studio. It's highly irrelevant and I also see it as advertisement.--James599 (talk) 20:05, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Fruityloops

Why does the current article not mention that this program was once known as Fruityloops? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.130.37.12 (talk) 04:22, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Correction

Deleted a section which was a duplicate of and was exactly the same as "Recent Personification" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.163.9(talk) 14:54, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

AWFUL GRAMMARR!

This is a real line from this article. "Some real musical label producers produced beats like producers from record labels from Island Def Jam Records." Are you kidding me? Sombody fix this crapppp. —Precedingunsigned comment added by RayJay17 (talk •contribs) 18:16, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Grammar, again!

The section FL Studio Volume 1... ...has some sub-standard grammar. Doesn't sound like an english author

"FL Studio Volume 1

Regular Edition In 1998, FL Studio beginned but was developed by Image-Line Software. They started with the standard edition and launched but created a Twitter and Facebook page.[1][2]. When it started Deckadance became a studio friend with FL Studio in 1999. The part of the first volume regular edition is when was downloaded, they need to record it while producing. In 1994, Fruity Video Player was launched before FL Studio but was jacked to create the CBS, Teletoon, UPN Kids, Kids' WB, Sega Channel, Disney Channel and TeenNick animated 3D series JumpStart Superheroes. [edit]XXL (without Producer Edition) In 1998, FL Studio began and was launched but started with the XXL edition without the Producer Edition. Until late-2000, The XXL edition was renamed "FL Studio 8: The Producer Edition XXL".

" 81.110.200.130 (talk) 12:08, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

"was jacked"?!

Created a twitter and facebook page in 1998?

Facebook? Twitter page? How is this even relevant to an encyclopedic entry? Josestefan (talk) 20:00, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Deckadance became a studio friend...?

The part of the first volume is when was downloaded, they need to record it while producing...?

81.110.200.130 (talk) 12:11, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

I'd fix this but i don't understand what he's talking about. This is probably the worst wikipedia page I have ever seen. It reminds me of how the site can be portrayed in comedy. I've searched around online, but unfortunately I can't find anything written about the history of FL Studio, so I can't fix this myself. --194.144.22.64 (talk) 01:56, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm thinking just deleting (or commenting out) paragraphs in this page until someone gets around to rewriting them would work. Badly written article is badly written. Flash man999 (talk) 04:08, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

fixed some stuff.

hopefully this'll help when the article gets re-evaluated for cleanup, lots of little grammar and punctuation things, clarified some points, restructured some sentences. - matt lohkamp 01:26, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

FL Studio 9.5

FL Studio 9.5 is still a beta and not stable, the stable version is 9.1 (mistake in version info) —Preceding unsigned comment added by91.114.210.120 (talk) 15:36, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Notable users column structure

I just switched the notable users section from using a Template:multicol layout, which requires using{{multicol-break}} after each column, to using a Template:Div col layout (see Help:columns) which automatically sizes columns appropriately. I believe for this list this way will be better (with all the adding and deleting links it keeps the columns even). If you have a good reason feel free to revert, but please drop a note here. --danhash (talk) 14:27, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

I also alphabetized the list; seems reasonable to me. --danhash (talk) 15:17, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Citation problems?

There appears to be some problem regarding citations 22 and 27. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.118.195.215 (talk) 16:15, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

What sort of problems? There is no citation 27, and it seems like citation 22 links correctly. —danhash (talk) 13:28, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
