FLStudio Bible Review...

My lovely wife decided that buying just a license to FLStudio would not be enough and she got me the "FLStudio bible" as well. The book is fantastic and covers most of the application in great detail.

I would recommend this book to anyone, from new users to the more experienced. For the experienced users it might not hold as much value as for n00bs. But still it might just show you one or two things that you didn't know...

Of course it covers the bare basics of the environment and to be honest it actually clarified a lot of "what does that do?" questions for me. a few chapters are spent on the step sequencer, the glorious piano roll and its myriad of functions (arpeggios, chopper, strumizer, flamer etc.)

It also covers the entire Fruity FX library and all the generators in a great amount of detail. Because i only have the "Producer Edition", I don't have access to all the generators, but I fill up the gaps with a couple of free VSTi's for the time being.

It will take me a while to reach the limitations of the supplied plug-ins (if ever) and sometimes its good limiting yourself to only a few instruments and rather concentrate on the features of the software (there is a lot of beef under the skin of FLStudio).

The book ends up with with an interview of a couple of existing artists who use the software as well as the employees who work on FLStudio at ImageLine. If nothing else it gives you a perspective of others opinions on the product and also a feel for who is behind the software.

So to summarize it really is worth the money for this book, especially if you are a newcomer to FLStudio and for the more experienced users this book almost certainly has something too.

ImageLine don't sell the book them self, so here is the link to the website where you can order it.
