Don't get me wrong I have used it for recording vocals, it's just been frustrating at times. Maybe I've came across bashing FL here which is not the case. FL used to have this 'one click' audio recording thing that was annoying. I just use PT for recording now as its so easy. Like said before though the recording may have improved in FL since I used it. Plug-In format is rarely an issue.Ok well in my opinion they are worlds apart. Looking at SweetWater right now and its showing probably 90% of the plug-ins as cross platform shipments of bundles and the numbers are likely close with individual plugs as well. I cant think of anything that sells in VST only formats from a major company. That is important.but in 9/10 cases any plug-in you purchase, especially the well known ones, all ship with 3 versions of plug-in format (AU, RTAS/AAX, VST). His work could be as simple as recording multiple vocals, adding appropriate compression and adding reverb or delays (the most common recording).in which FL is perfectly capable of accomplishing that, especially when we factor in a plug-in being used.

So the basis for what DAW he uses should be rooted in what techniques he employs, and what options the program has available to execute them. While PT has extensive editing features.most of those features are not used or necessary for many people. Pro Tools I'll say if you used FL for beats and have been doing it for years you might not even like Pro Tools for the fact that FL has a quicker workflow that's more favored for beats and sound design. If you can make it work and have developed a workflow for you then by all means stick to it. Accidentally right-clicking your clip, hidden clip over clip, arming, punching in, arbitrary way of automation, using Edison and not being able to play in context with the rest of your audio/midi tracks until printed. I may get hate for this but FL Studio does not make it easy for you to record vocals and edit as to most traditional linear daws out there. Just got frustrated with switching back and forth amongst other reasons. You may be right at home if your used to a linear way of working though.

The tools are there just the workflow is ehhh. Sounds tough the FL workflow seems better suited for beats more so midi and Pro Tools better suited for recording and editing audio.
