also you fruity users need to have a good hard look at the sample length of your exported loops. they are nearly always innacurate. of differing lengths. there are ways to sort out the length in cubase, but it does show the programming aint right. (if you dont believe me export 4 loops from fruity, import em to cubase, set your tempo and then zoom in on the ends of all the loops, you'll notice they either reach past the loop points, or dont reach them at all. - this is something i've seen using different installs computers, cards situations etc etc etc...)
also the sound engine is shite. sounds great live, but not on export...
As a qualifier i have used fruity in live, studio and all creative situations and i love the program, but you gotta know the limits of your programs down to the most detailled level.
i still love it as a sketch pad - it sounds fat as ****, ableton IMHO does sound a bit clinical.
As ever , there is many a good tune played on an old fiddle.
