i definitely agree, i used fruity loops alot and loved it for a while, i still think its under-rated by many, tho i'm in SX2 now i still use it sometimes... all i can say is it took me alot of time and effort to be pursuaded into cubase, because i was so in love with fruity loops, but i'm so glad i made the change! there is a point in fruity loops where you can only make such a good quality recording, in my opinion. with cubase the level of production never stops rising.
