‘Funny how a word can affect us’ I still fondly refer to it as Fruity Loops. When all said and done FL is the underdog in the world of DAWs. But the fact that I can sketch an idea in seconds by far surpasses the need or want for any other platform. My knowledge is somewhat lacking in anything techie. It wasn’t until years down the line when I tried another DAW, I realised just how good FL was for me. In fact It was the first time I’d ever made an online payment. It’s interface and workflow, everything seemed logical. I was passed a disk of ‘free’ software in about 98 and Logic and Fruity Loops were on it.

The Light – Project Available in the FL Studio Install Having not used a computer since I was at school (pre-windows),I was in the deep end and drowning fast. I quickly discovered I’d need more than the eight track so I brought my first PC. Eventually the ear bleeding noise grew into a semblance of music. I got a Boss eight track porta studio and started writing. When the last band (gyroscape) finished I decided to have a go at writing my own music. but, there was always an underlying want to write and someday sing. Me? a bass player in various bands playing original material of a fair few genres? well yep…. Within four weeks of buying the guitar and joining the band I had my first gig. A drummer friend for some unknown reason asked me to join a band with him ( bredhed). it wasn’t until I turned 16 that I got interested and got myself a bass. I had a rubbish acoustic guitar, strings missing the lot as a kid, so I played the tennis racket far more.
