It's responsive and intuitive right out of the box. This thread will likely be updated from time to time as I discover new things about Reaper that make no sense and/or are utterly infuritating to me.įL Studio's Piano Roll is unparallelled. Today I'm picking apart things that FL Studio does better than Reaper specifically.

Perhaps it's because I'm a visual learner, or maybe I'm just picky. I've used all of these programs and more, and I can tell you that FL Studio makes much more sense to me. Now, most people who make rock/metal/punk music use Reaper, or Cubase, or Pro Tools, or another "typical" DAW. I also record in an untreated 2nd story apartment bedroom with a 2 channel interface and FL Studio as my DAW/recording program, so if that doesn't scream "ameteur" I don't know what will. I don't know my basic chords, I know nothing about music theory, and I compose everything I write by envisioning a DAW with the song already arranged. I'm an okay musician, maybe even a good musician if you've dropped some LSD before putting on one of my songs, but I'm definitely not a professional by any stretch of the imagination. Let me start off by saying that I am ANYTHING but a professional musician.
