    Have they managed to make their licensing of included content any clearer? Is it still chock full of stuff that will get you sued if you use any of it?

  3. 3 violetta

    Good question. I forgot about that fiasco!

  4. 4 Polite

    By chock full, you mean the *one* sample that was from a deadmau5 song? :P

    Why would you use the included samples anyway?

  5. 5 aL:

    By chock full I mean the folders full of samples and patterns that FL later revealed were all copyrighted material that would potentially get the user sued. The *one* sample, as you put it, was just the one that broke the story, and was far from being the only content of questionable provenance included in the package.

    FL Studio 9 is Amazing I have been using fl 8xxl and when I tried 9 I immediately noticed the differences about the CPU usage.Regardless of what the gauge says theres not much static and im on a HP Pavilion dv6000.And the added samples are very useful,especially the electric guitar samples.And auto gun was simply genius,Some of the best samples that I honestly ever heard.I think there trying to go for everything master ready.

      something to think about

      Music in itself carries a whole set of messages which are very, very rich and complex, and the words either serve to exclude certain ones or point up certain others. — Brian Eno
