Meg Hentges

How did you get involved in creating music ?

My Grandfather was a fiddle player/bar owner in New York, so I grew up around live music. He gave me my first tape recorder.

I started playing the electric guitar when I was 11 years old.

How did you end up using FL Studio ?

I started using FL a couple of years ago when I owned an analog 16 track studio. I had heard rumors about "virtual drum machines", surfed around, and found FL by accident. When I downloaded the demo and started exploring, I was stunned by the creative possibilities.

What does FL Studio mean in your current setup ?

FL Studio (plus a wave editor) is the only software I ever use now. I've retired my hardware sampler and sequencer, and since FL added audio recording, my rack mounted hard disk recorder rarely gets switched on.

What are the advantages & disadvantages of using hard- & software ?

I hate computers, but I love software. I don't remember how I managed without instant recall of mixes, or without automation.

There are a couple of hardware boxes I'll never let go of (compressors and favorite sound modules) but it's a simple matter to integrate those pieces with FL Studio.
