Fruity loops vs cakewalk sonar?

I want to work with a complete software package of digital music creation which can create any sort of music. I heard about two of these :- fruity loops and cakewalk sonar . Which one is best suited for me?? I have some experience in music, so wud prefer a powerful one , simplicity may not be required.


wat are pros and cons of each?

Fruity loops vs cakewalk sonar?
By "any sort of music," what exactly do you mean? I'd imagine orchestral, techno, hip hop, rock, rap, electronic, etc? Will you be recording live instruments and vocals?





I use "Fruity Loops," (or FL Studio as it's now called.) I've written in all genres of music, such as film soundtracks, game soundtracks, techno, electronica, hip hop, and orchestral. I haven't done much recording of live instruments, but I know it can do that just as well. The only drawback that I feel FL could be better in is the lack of support for switching time signatures in the middle of a song. There are ways around that, of course, but it can be a bit of a pain sometimes. In this industry, FL Studio users kinda get looked down upon, as if it's an inferior product or something, which is unfortunate.





As for Sonar, I haven't used it but I know of a few really good composers that do. At the moment, Sonar gets a more respectable rating in the industry, but it really doesn't matter what program you use if you're producing bad songs anyway. Of course, Sonar does every FL does and more, so if that's what you're looking for, go for it.





In all reality, you'll be able to produce "any kind of music" with either product. If the price is an issue, Sonar's Producer edition runs about 600 bucks, while FL's Producer edition runs about 150 bucks. Plus, with FL you get free upgrades for life as they add new features.





Of course, there's also many other music programs out there. Reason, Cubase, and ACID come to mind at the moment.





You can check out www.soundclick.com/silverlineproductions for some examples of songs all created in FL Studio. I'm working on my main page, www.silverlinemusic.net now.
Reply:Give it to you real quick. SONAR. I dont like fuity loops. you are limited to what you can do. FL can do everything okay. It does nothing very very good. I use sonar as myseq. and use different soft synth. I mainly use Native instruments plug ins. WIth them 2 you can lose. Report It

Reply:acid dj and sound forge are better than fruity loops or sonar
