FL Studio is $179 - I get it’s not free but if you’re serious about your goals and the craft, as a grown man I would figure it out. It’s a tool, it’s like if mechanics en masse went and stole power tools because they have a dream of fixing cars. Let’s not act like FL Studio is a loaf of bread and you’ll pass away if you don’t have the money for it immediately. If you’re an able bodied grown adult, you can 100% figure it out
Agreeeed, but also would like to add, it’s that cheap, and owning it gives lifetime free updates and you get discounted upgrades if you buy the basic version first, plus recurring drastic christmas deals. I feel like most people who pirate it don’t care to buy it, or they care so little to research the pricing to know that they can probably already afford it to some level
FL Studio is not canceled, you guys are. FL Studio did help everybody, by lowering their prices, work your way up like I did. If you smoke cigarettes and buy 10 packs for the whole month, then stop buying cigarettes, and save, the same thing goes for liquor and weed. Stop spending money on things that will not help you achieve your goals.
You damn clown, its not about buying the software, its about their treatment of the community. They attempted attacks on other innocent people in the past not just the recent guy.
I own my copy of signature bundle with harmor and toxic biohazard great product I will always love FL Studio I like it way better than other DAWS I have carpal tunnel and FL is much easier on my hands than Ableton
Im sorry but if you can't afford FL Studio's very fair prices or at least be satisfied with The Time Unlimited Free Trial, i don't feel sorry for people who get punished for pirating software from companies who try to be fair as best they can. Image Line is beyond fair.
I live in russia. I CANT buy fl studio or any another soft because sanctions, so all i can do is steal. Its fun how hypocrite all they are. They still buying our gas, but in the same time banned usual people like me from everywhere. Lol.
Are we really comparing stealing a (luxury item, not needed for survival) from a business that has a pretty fair business model, free lifetime updates with good quality tools for production. To stealing for a starving family? 😂
.....GOOD FOR YOU.....clearly you were never stranded in a war torn environment with a dream. I own the software but was introduced to it initially by pirating it. (p.s, what is required for survival is strictly left to the person who's actually trying to survive. So lets not judge)
Everyone has a right to be paid for their work. I side with FL. Using 9/11 to justify theft is pretty disrespectful to the people who died on that day. New generation are entitled and you’re enabling them.
first of all, you don't gaf about 9/11, cuz if you did you wouldn't even comment on the situation because you would know damn well this isn't using a tragedy to justify theft. also calling theft to sharing a crack with some friends is stupidly crazy, it would be a theft if it actually affected the company, which it doesn't since the people that pirate the stuff wont buy it anyways. the people on image-line get paid even if their stuff gets pirated because they're a multimillionaire company, FL is like the top 3 daw in sells, a 13yo kid from colombia pirating their program doesnt affect their salaries
@@isab4f Theft is theft. Everything you’re saying is justifying someone not getting paid for their work. Whether they want to let a 13 y/o kid from Columbia have it for free is THEIR choice, not the choice of someone else. ITS THEIR WORK! Do you donate all your days off and free time to your job for free since it doesn’t affect your paycheck anyway? No one has a right to take someone else’s labor for FREE! You’re basically saying FL should work for free because they have a lot of money…wtf are you even saying right now? If someone doesn’t have the money for something, they should get a job or an extra job to save up and buy it. All the time spent making beats on a stolen program could have been spent buying it. The program is $179 on sweet water. Even at minimum wage it would take about 15 hours of work to buy it. If ppl like you can’t justify working to buy it, how can you justify FL working to supply it free? A bit hypocritical don’t ya think?!?
yes but to be fair... if you're talented enough and ur parents kicked you out of the house and all you got is a laptop, really, it's a good argument, since you got no money, u gotta produce to get money to get food to not die, ykwim?
Image Line is a good company your updates are free for life and it's not expensive. Save up for it because it would be worth it. Nothing is wrong with their company. So why pirate something
Nah, they are a shady company at best. Remember that time they had a hidden fast limiter on the master track to make their daw sound better than others. They hid it until some people did test and figured out what was going on. now they have it visible, you can see in the templates.
@@mhavock This is the dumbest thing ever the limiter was on the master by default and it showed that all you had to do was turn it off if you didn't want it on.
@@christunez6340 That was AFTER it was discovered hidden, then they changed it to a track limiter. Google "FL ASIO checkbox "hardclip to 0db" which did limiting and hardcliping IN THE FL ASIO DRIVER.
I feel proud that I bought Fl Studio legally, so my projects won't run into hiccups like software updates or other crap that usually the pirated version might bring
If you can't afford FL Studio then you don't need to be making beats right now. You need to be getting your economic situation in life under control and you don't have the luxury to sit around cooking up unfortunately. I can't even focus well when I'm making beats if I'm hurting in life. Prioritizing is necessary. Spending time making beats is a luxury. When I couldn't afford FL I went to my friends house who already had it and used theirs. It's not FL' s fault that people can't afford it. That doesn't make it right to crack it. It's like saying that since I can't afford Louis Vuitton it's ok to steal it. '
not everyone who wants to produce is a grown broke adult, most people who crack it are usually just teenagers who don't have ways to make the money (or people who just don't see the point of paying when there's a free way, and don't care if it's illegal or not because who's gonna stop us lol)
They just had 50% offer for any bundle upgrade and I upgraded my Producer Edition, which I own since many years, finally to that Ultimate Edition. Not that I need every single Plugin from the Ultimate Edition but there were a few which I always wanted and now it was cheaper than ever. I dont see a problem with the pricing of FL.
Worst take ever...FL Studio isn't even that expensive, and provides free upgrades for life. This guy should face repercussions for his actions. There is no excuse to rip this company off. There are plenty of free tools if you can't afford to buy a DAW... You're out of your mind with this hot take...
Idk tbh but you know how splice has a rent to own option for daws what if they did it for fl studio like $10 a month and once you pay it off you get to keep it i think they should do that and they would get a lot more sales and there would be a lot less piracy
Not sure what hes on about. Image-Line has always been very hands on with piracy. There is no valid comparison between computer software and food. It literally says on their website they don't allow distribution AND advertising of pirated FL on social media platforms. Which is exactly what this is.
FL studio is by far the easiest and most efficient DAW out there with the most user and 3rd party support.. Each have their own plusses and minuses. To act like type beat makers move numbers is hilarious. You don't even have enough data for this, music has only been made like this for 10/15 years. This game been around for decades.
@@mhavock 20 mil views = how much money for Image Line or Ableton or Avid? These companies are not bringing in revenue lmao. They are on the verge of going under every month. Imagine telling your Father in Law you're a software engineer for a music creation software. Views don't translate to sales, this is true in clothing industry too. Investors are no longer funding based on views, it doesn't translate. I guess you're too blind to pick up a book and realize how the world works.
@@dzonilatic9761 how many people do you think own or will buy FL based on the views? people see how the program works and how many videos there are so for sure the views affect sales. Also, they made their money already - they have been around for over two decades. You are crazy if you think they scraping by.
Users are complaining about buying a daw, but you want to start charging people for beats or sample packs. These companies need to make money also. These kids need to get a job, and work for it. No excuses with that or the resources to make beats in general. Lots of free stuff available.
This is such an ironically stupid opinion, This Egglo kid literally incriminated himself publicly for clout and you as a person that made a career for himself using FL are trying to make him seem like a victim just to pander to a bunch of dumb people that don't understand why that was a really really stupid idea. I would assume a large portion of us that now own a legit copy of FL have used crack versions prior to being able to afford a legit copy, But the majority of us had the common sense to know it was technically illegal to do so and would keep it on the down low. Although I understand why people use cracked versions of software if you are going to f*** around, You're going to find out.
Anyone who Obtains an illegeal copy of the software needs to be held accountable. Not being able to afford something does not give you the right to pirate or steal it!!!
If you don't understand how wrong you are there is no hope you will ever understand. It's like saying "we should not have border control because not everyone can come legally." Do you think I had spare change to buy FL Studio? If you want FL studio you will eat noodles and you will buy it.
@@eye776 agreed, still I think you should buy legit license when you can afford it. If you have to, start on cracked, if you make money with it, a respectful thing to do would be paying for a real copy IMO
What does it matter if someone pirates with "evil" intent or not? The outcome is the same and then on top of that share it with a friend? They don't owe ppl access to their service, come on with the entitlement.. Also, you really believe they then go and buy the full thing one day? Doubt it..
It's illegal..don't broadcast piracy and expect them not to come. Also why are you making out they are poor when it costs more to get the gear to run it on. If they have enough to buy a PC or Laptop , save up..
Most beginner artists use old ass laptops they bought for 20 bucks at a thrift shop, or got a hand me down laptop. that's how I started. The argument of "don't pirate because your gear cost money" never really made sense tbh.
@@aro7975 What a great way to keep underground music production alive, tell starter artists they suck. I think its important that we realize that not every newbie is gonna be the next mustard, but not being a dick to people is still a good thing to do. And for the record, most hand me down laptops aren't enough unless you're making chiptune or something.
This isnt rocket science.... ........ There's no honor among theives. Hypocrisy and Hypocrites are guilty of the same crimes... .....the only difference between them is how they go about doing so. Hence, if you rob a bank and the alarm goes off ... then you are now known as a Bank Robber. If it doesn't go off, then you aren't..... .....get it?
If you can't afford FL Studio, you can't afford music production, simple really. I can't afford a Ferrari but I don't just take it upon myself to let someone else steal the keys so I can take it for a ride.
@@SuperAgentAB A perfectly valid point but clearly in the subject matter here it is not what these people are choosing to do, if they did I wouldn't be having this conversation with people.
@@Azurantine81 It's not really theft, more like an intellectual property infringement at best. A piece of software isn't a material good that can be taken from someone. That sort of comparison is a classic scare tactic spread by agencies. It's a weak argument, think harder about the difference between stealing a Ferrari and downloading cracked FL Studio.
Using 9/11 and then bashing the software company that essentially made you, "you" is diabolical work. Then to try and tie racism is very sad bro. I'm very disappointed in this channel. You are helping foment a toxic culture FL is literally free now and you still got a problem. Everything doesn't need to be pirated especially on a company that offers lifetime updates and stands on it. You also sound very butthurt about not being mentioned as a power user this sounds more bitter and personal. Ave Mcree is not a FL guy and for you to say that made this whole video complete bs and a jealousy rant.
I'll always remember the time Sonny Digital mentioned how he initially pirated FL Studio when he first started out, but once he made it big, he made sure to go back and purchase it.
Honestly you are very correct when you say “Do those people make context?”. If not because you listed those dudes that work as peripherals, the truth is that I don’t even know a single person before now😂. If we talk about FL, it’s only people like you or “In the Mix” that make content for users that I know. You are very correct
The power user argument seemed like BWB was just salty about being removed. But then when Nick Mira didn't come up, but Simon Servida did, I was like ok, that's wild.
Idk man. I started with the most basic version of FL many years ago and eventually worked my way up to the full edition. It took years. If I can do it these other kids can go get a jobby job and do it. The guy shared a link on where to get it for FREE. He’s still guilty
Image-Line saw bro and said "we gon give you a tragedy of your own" 💀 Jokes aside, it's common sense to not go openly talking about pirated products in a public setting as this is what will happen, companies do NOT play around with people openly distributing pirated copies of products, like either pay for it or just be silent about it if you're gonna sail the seven seas (even with the latter option, you'd have a harder time trying to get the most recent update as you'd have to constantly wait around, so I'd just recommend buying the product whenever you possibly can as the lifetime free updates are more than enough to prove their worth over several other competitors).
FL Studio is 179.99. You mean to tell me that they cant let $200 go from their check 1 time? or save $100 twice in one month? Its a 1 time investment. Cheapies don't need to make beats if they can't do that atleast.
I bought FL Studio producer Edition as soon as I had the chance (7 years ago and I ain't rich) I didn't even have a computer yet?. Best investment ever tho If I can do it, so can you. I stopped messing with cracks because they are not stable and you can't even update them. Too much hassle when I just want to focus on making music. And I used to steal for a living, it aint worth having to watch your back all the time. That shit can kill you. Yall stay safe and creative.
I feel like you kind of missed the mark on this one. How would you feel if I came across a link to all your paid courses and packs for free, and posted about it on twitter or a relevant subreddit? I wouldn't be the guy who uploaded your content, but I'll be the guy who spreads it. Even if I only reach a handful of people, they will spread it onwards to their handful of people and it'll spread super quick. By cracking down on people who knowingly spreads pirate links, they're sending a message, and I think that's more than justified. The old "you wouldn't steal a car" DVD warning is super over the top but gets the point across. If you can't afford a car, you don't go steal a car. If you can't afford the software, you'll simply have to wait. The base version on FL studio is 99 USD. Regardless of what you do, that should be more than obtainable. If you do pirate it; spreading it on a public platform like twitter is the dumbest thing you can do. If you can't afford it, use bandlab if it's free (not familiar with it).
I'm a FL Studio evangelist and I will NEVER use another DAW. I live in Venezuela, I have zero opportunities to make it in life and I did everything under my control to get a copy of FL Studio All Plugins Edition. Are you aware of how poor Venezuelans are?
Also im sorry but aint no one more broke than me. When i bought FL studio i didn't have a job, i still don't. I have the SIGNATURE BUNDLE and it took me less than a year to get it. I found a way to make the money i needed and i did it with 0$ in my pocket and no job. STOP COMPLAINING AND STOP DEFENDING THESE WEIRDOS. THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS FOR PRODUCING TOO, if you seriously live in a country where its that hard to afford use a different daw or work your way up. There are free options and cheaper options.
I was introduced to FL and found it so awesome. I bought the fruity edition, and used it for a year. I later upgraded to producer when they ran a promotion. Im about to upgrade to the signature bundle now. I find their pricing to be the best, epecially considering their lifetime updates. No company is as generous guys. How did the user post such nonsense on their account? How does one get so deceived to think they can help everyone with an illegal download link?? Even poor people have no right to do illegal activities. Its that simple. Why would you bother with FL when there are free DAWs out there? You cant threaten a company that has brought so much valuet to the marketplace like FL. Why are there no such complaints against companies in other industries like clothing, cars etc? Beat makers should pull their heads out of their 4rs3s and wake up to reality. The market place is for those with services/products and the means to exchange for that value. As usual, Americans always throw tantrums when they see some company outside the US doing so well. Apple vs Huawei & Samsung/ Boeng vs Airbus etc. Stop this shyt.
They made it easy to record the plugins. Then when I made an album I bought the whole version and got every flex update because I know others will do that.
FL Studios piano roll is unmatched and if you actually have talent and no music theory and have the skills it's a great dog is it and it gives you like every approach you can think of to work from and the price is absolutely the cheapest from what I have seen outside of free
The best solution would be for them to release older versions of FL for a reduced price depending on how old the version is. All the older versions are still usable.
When I just started using fl studio I never have money to pay for it, but now I buy it and how I get to buy it my girlfriend gives me the money to pay for clothes and I buy the fl studio 😅
Hi. I don't think stealing is a good thing. Do not compare it with hungry people, for without a music program you can live.Not only that there are other not so expensive DAW and even free. It can be compared to the fact that you saw a nice jacket for 1000 bucks on your neighbor, went to the store stole it, but you say that you just took it to wear, for a while:). I'm not an attorney for any company, but you can't just steal and expect everyone to approve of you. I suggest comparing these situations to yourself. So your car was “taken” for a ride without your permission, your stuff and stuff. Would you compare such a thief to starving people?
Hey Busy Works Beats. Thanks for raising these very serious issues. You do it because you care and you have a clean heart. I will raise these issues directly with Image Line management.
Why does this matter. Music is being made. Pro tools has been behind for years and still set for what it works. You just enjoy the band lab interface more and that’s fair!
These are the most deranged comments I've seen. If you can't afford FL Studio, there's lots of free daws (lmms, waveform free, etc) FL Studio is still great, pirated users are just salty. unsubbed.
FL STUDIO IS FUCKING 👑KING. IT'S THE MODERN DAY INDUSTRY STANDARD. IT'S TIME, TO SHOW SOME LOYALTY AND RESPECT. LONG LIVE 👑IMAGE-LINE. STRAIGHT VOLCANIC LAVA! 🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋
I just will leave it as you are wrong about this fl studio is doing right protecting the brand and hopefully discouraging others to pirate the product just think if someone pirate your busy beat course you would go after them to so respectfully i believe you should see where they are with the way they handle it no cruel intent behind this post just my opinion
I’m sorry, but _this_ (using pirated software) falls under the categories of “Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes” and “F… around And Find Out” and it looks like the guy is in the “Find Out” part of his misadventures in Software piracy
I think 🤔 upcoming produces should just use fl studio demo if they can't afford it up until they can buy it or use other free daws out there like reaper
yo bro this why they attack you. what are u defending? he did something stupid, he should know better. that guy with pricing comment wow. yawl not fl gang.
I had cracked fl dont remember which version but it was years ago. I used it to make some crappy loops as I wanted to understand more about music production. Few years later I decided it's enough, as I wanted to share my stuff, so I took extra shifts at work and got legit product some time later. I mostly take music as a hobby and didn't share much; mostli I send some stuff to my friends and whatnot, but knowing I have a legit product and can do whatever with it gave me, like, confidence/reasurement that I'm on the path I wanted to be at. These days if one aspires to make money of music I really don't understand cracking software. At least buy a licence when you get some money, there are people where even base FL key can be expensive, I get it, but bragging about projects you did and saying 'LOL look I got new cracked version' is lame af. As sidenote; I get it, 9/11 can be viewed as a bad date to tweet sth ike they did but tbf if we took all tragic events that we memorize there would be few to none days when this would be apropriate. With all respect, I get it, this was a little lack of awarness, but still, it shouldn't stand as a major point in your argument against FL's tweet, that's all. Much love to all, peace.
Here's what i did. Cracked fl studio>made money with music>bought fl studio. They deserve their money sooner or later
real! pirating should be for preservation of software - or if you really cant afford it and intend to buy it in future
FL Studio is $179 - I get it’s not free but if you’re serious about your goals and the craft, as a grown man I would figure it out. It’s a tool, it’s like if mechanics en masse went and stole power tools because they have a dream of fixing cars.

thank you bro, this guy should know better. he make money off fl on youtube. this guy is dumb.
look at this guy, it offarble but people with out money cant offeradit. then he uses the race card. pls stop watching this channel
I remember when FL Studio was over $1k for the all plugins version. That was over 10 years ago
Agreeeed, but also would like to add, it’s that cheap, and owning it gives lifetime free updates and you get discounted upgrades if you buy the basic version first, plus recurring drastic christmas deals.

That's another reason to stop messing with Busy Works Beats. The Heading should have been "The Truth Behind Busy Works Beats’ Downfall"
Not sure what hes on about. Image-Line has always been very hands on with piracy.
There is no valid comparison between computer software and food.
It literally says on their website they don't allow distribution AND advertising of pirated FL on social media platforms. Which is exactly what this is.
Nah bro I’m not co-signing this. You’re doing too much.
FL studio is by far the easiest and most efficient DAW out there with the most user and 3rd party support.. Each have their own plusses and minuses. To act like type beat makers move numbers is hilarious. You don't even have enough data for this, music has only been made like this for 10/15 years. This game been around for decades.
he showed views on youtube videos from creators. I guess you were blind when he showed that first one with 20 million views.
@@mhavock 20 mil views = how much money for Image Line or Ableton or Avid? These companies are not bringing in revenue lmao. They are on the verge of going under every month. Imagine telling your Father in Law you're a software engineer for a music creation software.
Views don't translate to sales, this is true in clothing industry too. Investors are no longer funding based on views, it doesn't translate. I guess you're too blind to pick up a book and realize how the world works.
@@dzonilatic9761 how many people do you think own or will buy FL based on the views? people see how the program works and how many videos there are so for sure the views affect sales. Also, they made their money already - they have been around for over two decades. You are crazy if you think they scraping by.
$200 for FL is a deal!! I made so much more from Fl. Yall trippin 😂😂😂
If you gonna pirate then pirate, but to be entitled about pirating someone else’s product it nasty work
Users are complaining about buying a daw, but you want to start charging people for beats or sample packs. These companies need to make money also. These kids need to get a job, and work for it. No excuses with that or the resources to make beats in general. Lots of free stuff available.
This is such an ironically stupid opinion, This Egglo kid literally incriminated himself publicly for clout and you as a person that made a career for himself using FL are trying to make him seem like a victim just to pander to a bunch of dumb people that don't understand why that was a really really stupid idea.
I would assume a large portion of us that now own a legit copy of FL have used crack versions prior to being able to afford a legit copy, But the majority of us had the common sense to know it was technically illegal to do so and would keep it on the down low.
Although I understand why people use cracked versions of software if you are going to f*** around, You're going to find out.
Anyone who Obtains an illegeal copy of the software needs to be held accountable. Not being able to afford something does not give you the right to pirate or steal it!!!
If you don't understand how wrong you are there is no hope you will ever understand. It's like saying "we should not have border control because not everyone can come legally." Do you think I had spare change to buy FL Studio? If you want FL studio you will eat noodles and you will buy it.
@@eye776 agreed, still I think you should buy legit license when you can afford it. If you have to, start on cracked, if you make money with it, a respectful thing to do would be paying for a real copy IMO
Upgraded to the all plugins edition just yesterday... Feels good, was cracking fl since fruity loops 3
-12
Thats the journey all of us took. Im about to graduate to signature bundle.
@@thehousepreacher3982 Go for it!
What does it matter if someone pirates with "evil" intent or not? The outcome is the same and then on top of that share it with a friend? They don't owe ppl access to their service, come on with the entitlement.. Also, you really believe they then go and buy the full thing one day? Doubt it..
It's illegal..don't broadcast piracy and expect them not to come. Also why are you making out they are poor when it costs more to get the gear to run it on. If they have enough to buy a PC or Laptop , save up..
No
@@No_Fap_Hey_Zeus yes
Most beginner artists use old ass laptops they bought for 20 bucks at a thrift shop, or got a hand me down laptop. that's how I started. The argument of "don't pirate because your gear cost money" never really made sense tbh.
@@Dystronautdubsalt old ass 20 dollar laptops will mls likely not be able to run FL studio 2024 or show their "talent" on.
@@aro7975 What a great way to keep underground music production alive, tell starter artists they suck. I think its important that we realize that not every newbie is gonna be the next mustard, but not being a dick to people is still a good thing to do. And for the record, most hand me down laptops aren't enough unless you're making chiptune or something.
more like th beginning of the downfall for busy works lmao
FL Studio doesn't need you Busy Works. Homie over here crying, just go out and use a different DAW
This isnt rocket science....
........ There's no honor among theives. Hypocrisy and Hypocrites are guilty of the same crimes...
.....the only difference between them is how they go about doing so.
Hence, if you rob a bank and the alarm goes off ... then you are now known as a Bank Robber. If it doesn't go off, then you aren't.....
.....get it?
I who is broke asf. From a 3rd world country bought fl software. And loving it. ❤
fl studio already offers a free trial that's wayy better than any other daw's. give fl their flowers for all they done for the scene.
Hey, whenever you make future tutorials could you also record all of the keys you press so we can further understand the process and hotkeys?
If you can't afford FL Studio, you can't afford music production, simple really. I can't afford a Ferrari but I don't just take it upon myself to let someone else steal the keys so I can take it for a ride.
With that said, free music making software such as Bandlab can do the capability of music production.
FL Studio isn't a ferrari fam, chill
@@SuperAgentAB A perfectly valid point but clearly in the subject matter here it is not what these people are choosing to do, if they did I wouldn't be having this conversation with people.
@@croay True but it is still theft regardless and that's why the example I used fits to exemplify the point.
@@Azurantine81 It's not really theft, more like an intellectual property infringement at best. A piece of software isn't a material good that can be taken from someone. That sort of comparison is a classic scare tactic spread by agencies.
It's a weak argument, think harder about the difference between stealing a Ferrari and downloading cracked FL Studio.
Using 9/11 and then bashing the software company that essentially made you, "you" is diabolical work. Then to try and tie racism is very sad bro. I'm very disappointed in this channel. You are helping foment a toxic culture FL is literally free now and you still got a problem. Everything doesn't need to be pirated especially on a company that offers lifetime updates and stands on it. You also sound very butthurt about not being mentioned as a power user this sounds more bitter and personal. Ave Mcree is not a FL guy and for you to say that made this whole video complete bs and a jealousy rant.
I'll always remember the time Sonny Digital mentioned how he initially pirated FL Studio when he first started out, but once he made it big, he made sure to go back and purchase it.
This dude needs to go outside
C'mon man, you're not really going to defend piracy are you?
Honestly you are very correct when you say “Do those people make context?”.
If not because you listed those dudes that work as peripherals, the truth is that I don’t even know a single person before now😂.
If we talk about FL, it’s only people like you or “In the Mix” that make content for users that I know.
You are very correct
aye busy you forgot to mention your arch nemesis curtis naming FL ppl 😂😂
Why would you post and admit to illegal activity.. However I agree with game, image-line should go after the person who uploaded the crack...
But how do you know they are not doing that also?
The power user argument seemed like BWB was just salty about being removed. But then when Nick Mira didn't come up, but Simon Servida did, I was like ok, that's wild.
Idk man. I started with the most basic version of FL many years ago and eventually worked my way up to the full edition. It took years. If I can do it these other kids can go get a jobby job and do it. The guy shared a link on where to get it for FREE. He’s still guilty
Image-Line saw bro and said "we gon give you a tragedy of your own" 💀
Jokes aside, it's common sense to not go openly talking about pirated products in a public setting as this is what will happen, companies do NOT play around with people openly distributing pirated copies of products, like either pay for it or just be silent about it if you're gonna sail the seven seas (even with the latter option, you'd have a harder time trying to get the most recent update as you'd have to constantly wait around, so I'd just recommend buying the product whenever you possibly can as the lifetime free updates are more than enough to prove their worth over several other competitors).
FL Studio is 179.99. You mean to tell me that they cant let $200 go from their check 1 time? or save $100 twice in one month? Its a 1 time investment. Cheapies don't need to make beats if they can't do that atleast.
I bought FL Studio producer Edition as soon as I had the chance (7 years ago and I ain't rich) I didn't even have a computer yet?. Best investment ever tho If I can do it, so can you. I stopped messing with cracks because they are not stable and you can't even update them. Too much hassle when I just want to focus on making music. And I used to steal for a living, it aint worth having to watch your back all the time. That shit can kill you. Yall stay safe and creative.
I used the trial version for about 2 years before i found out there was a pirated version
Bringing race into it now..... wow.
I feel like you kind of missed the mark on this one. How would you feel if I came across a link to all your paid courses and packs for free, and posted about it on twitter or a relevant subreddit? I wouldn't be the guy who uploaded your content, but I'll be the guy who spreads it. Even if I only reach a handful of people, they will spread it onwards to their handful of people and it'll spread super quick. By cracking down on people who knowingly spreads pirate links, they're sending a message, and I think that's more than justified.
The old "you wouldn't steal a car" DVD warning is super over the top but gets the point across. If you can't afford a car, you don't go steal a car. If you can't afford the software, you'll simply have to wait. The base version on FL studio is 99 USD. Regardless of what you do, that should be more than obtainable. If you do pirate it; spreading it on a public platform like twitter is the dumbest thing you can do. If you can't afford it, use bandlab if it's free (not familiar with it).
This sounds like a Retaliation video on ur behalf because of the copyright strike you recieved
I'm a FL Studio evangelist and I will NEVER use another DAW.
I live in Venezuela, I have zero opportunities to make it in life and I did everything under my control to get a copy of FL Studio All Plugins Edition.
Are you aware of how poor Venezuelans are?
Also im sorry but aint no one more broke than me. When i bought FL studio i didn't have a job, i still don't. I have the SIGNATURE BUNDLE and it took me less than a year to get it. I found a way to make the money i needed and i did it with 0$ in my pocket and no job. STOP COMPLAINING AND STOP DEFENDING THESE WEIRDOS. THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS FOR PRODUCING TOO, if you seriously live in a country where its that hard to afford use a different daw or work your way up. There are free options and cheaper options.
I see you're selling that Hercules plugin on your site. Let me know how to crack it, or I swear i'll tell everyone you want me to starve, bro!
I was introduced to FL and found it so awesome. I bought the fruity edition, and used it for a year. I later upgraded to producer when they ran a promotion. Im about to upgrade to the signature bundle now. I find their pricing to be the best, epecially considering their lifetime updates. No company is as generous guys. How did the user post such nonsense on their account? How does one get so deceived to think they can help everyone with an illegal download link??
Even poor people have no right to do illegal activities. Its that simple. Why would you bother with FL when there are free DAWs out there? You cant threaten a company that has brought so much valuet to the marketplace like FL. Why are there no such complaints against companies in other industries like clothing, cars etc? Beat makers should pull their heads out of their 4rs3s and wake up to reality. The market place is for those with services/products and the means to exchange for that value.
As usual, Americans always throw tantrums when they see some company outside the US doing so well. Apple vs Huawei & Samsung/ Boeng vs Airbus etc. Stop this shyt.
They made it easy to record the plugins. Then when I made an album I bought the whole version and got every flex update because I know others will do that.
FL Studios piano roll is unmatched and if you actually have talent and no music theory and have the skills it's a great dog is it and it gives you like every approach you can think of to work from and the price is absolutely the cheapest from what I have seen outside of free
I would like to mention that BWB. In the mix. Scale Audio and many more encouraged me to pay for the product known as FL Studio. And i thank them all.
Bro the irony of what fl is trying to do 💀
Yo, use the free version of FL Studio. Stealing will only bring you bad luck.
The best solution would be for them to release older versions of FL for a reduced price depending on how old the version is. All the older versions are still usable.
When I just started using fl studio I never have money to pay for it, but now I buy it and how I get to buy it my girlfriend gives me the money to pay for clothes and I buy the fl studio 😅
The Uploader & The Downloader Needs to be held accountable
They remove you from FL Power User? 😂 Damn!
Right?! Lol
So you're defending the thief 😂😂😂😂 Ok bro
Hi. I don't think stealing is a good thing. Do not compare it with hungry people, for without a music program you can live.Not only that there are other not so expensive DAW and even free. It can be compared to the fact that you saw a nice jacket for 1000 bucks on your neighbor, went to the store stole it, but you say that you just took it to wear, for a while:). I'm not an attorney for any company, but you can't just steal and expect everyone to approve of you. I suggest comparing these situations to yourself. So your car was “taken” for a ride without your permission, your stuff and stuff. Would you compare such a thief to starving people?
Its not only Image line but just big companies as a whole. They step on the people who make them.
Starving people in a walking dead scenario finding bread? Really? You gotta try harder bro.
Hey Busy Works Beats. Thanks for raising these very serious issues. You do it because you care and you have a clean heart. I will raise these issues directly with Image Line management.
you're gonna get laughed out the room , bro
IF SOMEONE DONT HAVE MONEY, GO TO WORK! SO EASY GO TO WORK AND SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR FL BUT DONT CRY FR
Why does this matter. Music is being made. Pro tools has been behind for years and still set for what it works. You just enjoy the band lab interface more and that’s fair!
Nah I am four years in this
On a free FL 21
No excuses don’t get the crack at least Fl is allowing us to get the free version
These are the most deranged comments I've seen.
If you can't afford FL Studio, there's lots of free daws (lmms, waveform free, etc)
FL Studio is still great, pirated users are just salty.
unsubbed.
If you’re poor, theft is okay. Got it.
I bought my version of FL had some help ... Im Not for cracked pluggins ... There's so much free stuff out there.
FL Studio needs to fix blasting your name all over the screen and more people would probably buy it.
Don't ever try and twist the bible to fit the bs bruh 😐. This has absolutely NOTHING to do with this type of situation smfh the nerve.
FL STUDIO IS FUCKING 👑KING. IT'S THE MODERN DAY INDUSTRY STANDARD. IT'S TIME, TO SHOW SOME LOYALTY AND RESPECT. LONG LIVE 👑IMAGE-LINE. STRAIGHT VOLCANIC LAVA! 🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋
This man made a video about why FL STUDIO should allow people to pirate their software 😂
To the people in the comments, what if you aren't American and don't use dollars or an accepted currency, what would u do?
I use Euro, had zero problem getting it on a black friday sale
FL studio is not accessible for people who has visual impairments. If FL studio is accessible for the blind, then I’ll give it a 10.
I trust fl studio always..
i dont feel bad for ppl who cant afford things because no one felt bad abt when i couldnt afford things
Start using Reaper
Exactly!
The commercial License for Reaper is $225.
@@Beatstockpile127 they don’t act like this. And most people here could use the non commercial version for 60$
@@Beatstockpile127 no it's $60 lol, i highly doubt anyone here is meeting the threshold to have to pay full price
I just will leave it as you are wrong about this fl studio is doing right protecting the brand and hopefully discouraging others to pirate the product just think if someone pirate your busy beat course you would go after them to so respectfully i believe you should see where they are with the way they handle it no cruel intent behind this post just my opinion
I’m sorry, but _this_ (using pirated software) falls under the categories of “Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes” and “F… around And Find Out” and it looks like the guy is in the “Find Out” part of his misadventures in Software piracy
At the beginning you throw names out for clout….you mention no TH-camrs. At the end you say something about FL doing the same thing. 0:07 & 24:53
I think 🤔 upcoming produces should just use fl studio demo if they can't afford it up until they can buy it or use other free daws out there like reaper
It’s bad, if you Busy Works Beats doesn’t pop up as a power user.
I mean it’s so clear.
i never made a penny from my music. I grew up using a cracked version and THEN BOUGHT the program later.
yo bro this why they attack you. what are u defending? he did something stupid, he should know better. that guy with pricing comment wow. yawl not fl gang.
Man I agree with you 100%, no body will ever use the cracked if he could afford the paid version
I own my copy of FL Studio and lots of plugins but I’m not buying every plugin lol
price for fl studio is fine, but prices for stupid vsts.. insane. do it for 100 usd or less.
and they charge so much
I had cracked fl dont remember which version but it was years ago. I used it to make some crappy loops as I wanted to understand more about music production. Few years later I decided it's enough, as I wanted to share my stuff, so I took extra shifts at work and got legit product some time later. I mostly take music as a hobby and didn't share much; mostli I send some stuff to my friends and whatnot, but knowing I have a legit product and can do whatever with it gave me, like, confidence/reasurement that I'm on the path I wanted to be at. These days if one aspires to make money of music I really don't understand cracking software. At least buy a licence when you get some money, there are people where even base FL key can be expensive, I get it, but bragging about projects you did and saying 'LOL look I got new cracked version' is lame af.
As sidenote; I get it, 9/11 can be viewed as a bad date to tweet sth ike they did but tbf if we took all tragic events that we memorize there would be few to none days when this would be apropriate. With all respect, I get it, this was a little lack of awarness, but still, it shouldn't stand as a major point in your argument against FL's tweet, that's all.
Much love to all, peace.
