Rather than highjacking another thread here i thought i would start a new one where we can discuss DAW snobbery.
Don't listen the haters, they dont have a qlue what they are talking about - DAW snobbery is lame. There are heaps of producers putting out absolutely cranking tunes using FL studio, Spor comes to mind here (one of the leading drum and bass producers) and he makes absolutely mental sounding tunes.
I use FL studio and <3 it, especially since FL9 hit and the way the CPU is utilized is much better - i got a massive performance increase making the change over which has really helped my creativity, theres nothing worse than running out of CPU power in two seconds flat.
Every DAW has its strong and weak points, its a matter of finding which points you cant live without - like i hate producing in Ableton because of the automation system totally sucks (when compared to FL studio anyway), but love using it live because because i don't need crazy amounts of automation as much. Its all different strokes for different folks !
