Recently i downloaded FL 11 for nostalgia purposes, and managed to make the pattern blocks appear with some regedit tricks and GOSH!!! i noticed that how i loved to work with this feature of SPLITTED PLAYLIST.
it is so good for playing with audio and automation while your Midi patterns still in the view, and(at least for me) this kind help a lot on decision making for the productions.
Newer version requires us to zoom in and zoom out all the time to play with audio and automation and i feel that this forced kind of the average DAW Workflow kind kills the potential creativity. (i know i can shrink the tracks size, group the, and hide the midis to emulate that blocks behaviour with the newer version of fl studio, BUT I CAN'T SPLIT THE PLAYLIST
)So many hits created in FL Studio From 2000s to 2013(when fl 11 came out)... Maybe that Blocks (Splitted Playlist) workflow Sparked
some creative light into the producers mind at that time.
Now i think That this Pattern Blocks/Splitted Playlist makes the FL Studio be Stand out from other Daws in those days...
NGL, the Updates, new Features, new Plugins are insanelly good, but now i see that the CORE workflow that Makes fl Studio the "FL STUDIO" still missed since FL 9/10.
I WANT FL STUDIO BACK, not a Pro Tools/Cubase that Behaves and look like FL Studio(just kidding)
Anyway, i hope that at some point Image-line programmers/corporate guys that USED TO LOVE FL STUDIO bring back the Pattern Blocks/Playlist Splitted
