A common belief in the producer community is that FL 11’s sound engine "hits harder" than newer versions. Technically, this is largely due to the default master limiter settings in version 11, which had a +5.4 dB gain boost by default. This makes sounds instantly louder, which the human ear often perceives as "better" or "punchier".
