I have to say that I agree with you here. I've been doing complete tracks in fruityloops for a while now - proving that its possible, but now it feels like its really mean for complete tracks if you see what I mean. Although I don't record acoustic instruments or vocals at the moment, the audio tracks are a huge plus because CPU expensive softsynths can be bounced down to disk and you can actually "see" the audio alongside the rest of the playlist. Very cool! > btw, has anyone read the review in the new computer music? that mag is hard > to find here in the states. They basically have it a hearty thumbs up, three awards and 9/10, although they kinda missed the point of Live Mode, which makes FLStudio compete with the likes of ableton live. I think someone scanned the review and put it on looptalk (naughty, naughty!), but since those forums seem to be down, you won't be able to get in and read it. Andy
