Ableton functions in FL Studio?

hello everybody my name is mo faulk and today i want to take you with me on a little adventure you see there's great disagreement over which dw is actually the best and to be honest they all have their cons and pros but up front i'm an fl studio user and i have been since i started but for a long time now i've wanted to make the switch from fl to ableton because ableton has a few functionalities that fl just doesn't have but what if it did imagine fl studio could freeze tracks the same way ableton could making cpu destroying projects playable again so in a quest to find the perfect mixture between ableton and fl studio i posted this question to my instagram stories and people really had some strong feelings about this one hello everybody i'm on a quest to make the perfect daw and it's all just theoretical so what are some of the functionality you wish you had an fl that exists in ableton let me know now granted this is only a mixture between fl studio and ableton but i think we're onto a winner here so the most commonly requested feature was the ability to freeze tracks properly retaining the original components just how it works in ableton it could look something like this so let's say i have this track open and my cpu is melting i could go over to my base channel here and just click on freeze all components that way it would be internally converted to audio and replaced with a visual indicator like a blue overlay here on the mixer and playlist view could be that simple now obviously this doesn't exist this feature was completely made visually with the help of after effects but to be honest i would give everything for better freezing nfl alright so the next thing i wanted to tackle was a natural native stretching mode within the fl studio sampler itself i try to get inspired by the ableton warping points with this one and oh boy have i been dreaming of a feature like this in fl studio oh and just as a little side note can we please get a better stretching mode please this warping animation was actually so fun to make simply because it felt almost real enough to be true so with this next one i decided to take a different approach many people were asking for ableton plugins in fl studio but creating every plugin for fl would be too much work so i decided to recreate only one plugin and use that nfl now clearly making a plugin from scratch is not a simple task but i present to you oh no i will totally accept defeat with this one honestly this was a little beyond my technical abilities in photoshop especially so let's see if instead we can't fix the limited mixer effect slot problem in fl studio i mean look at this it could be so simple and it's so elegant and it works and it looks nice and it would feel so great i need this please give this to me image line now i was going to end the video right here but to be honest it doesn't feel quite right it feels like we've only been talking bad stuff about fl studio so for the end let me give you this little cool nugget that you may not have known you can do this if you have one automation and you like it here right instead of having to link it to whatever other parameters you want to automate you can just double click go on that little range thing there copy states go to any other automation and paste state yeah yeah isn't that sick i bet you didn't know that that's the end of the video though what did you think was it an improvement or did i maybe miss a feature that you wish i included you can let me know down in the comments maybe there's even gonna be a part two i for my part will probably end up switching to ableton eventually because i think it fits my production workflow style much much better i hope you enjoyed this little experiment and if you did make sure you leave a like and maybe even a sub thank you very much for watching and i'll see you in the next video bye
