Louis Bell

From a Sound on Sound interview: 'Fruity Loops, aka FL Studio, remains at the heart of Bell's setup at Electric Feel. This is because, says Bell, "the way it is set up means that it is very fluid with regards to switching sounds and it not taking up too much CPU power. The program allows me to have many options already dialled in, which means that I can just start things and be super-creative. Because everything is blending well and sounding great, I don't have to keep going in and EQ'ing things, and so on. Everything is ready to go, it's like plug and play. This means that I can think about the melody and the chords and the song, rather than whether the bass is clashing with something else. I'm simply not thinking of that kind of stuff. I do that later in Pro Tools. Creating is like wet cement, you have to keep it moving. If you wait too long the cement starts to dry, and the next thing you know, you've hit a block and it's not shaped the way you want it."'

While the article does not specify which edition Louis uses, I assume it is either FL Studio 11 or 12 since the article was published in August of 2019.

From a Sound on Sound interview: '"I have an Asus PC running both Fruity Loops and Pro Tools, and a UAD Apollo Twin and Quad expander, and that's it. There's an API board in this room with Apogee outboard and so on, but those things are occasionally used by others, and I don't really use any of that stuff. It's pretty much me and my laptop here, and a Native Instruments S61 Komplete Kontrol keyboard. I have always used minimal equipment. I've had the Apollo Twin since 2014, and before that I had the [Avid] MBox 3, the MBox, and as far back as 2003-06, Pro Tools 002 Rack."'
