  1. I'm using FL Studio 4.1 Producer Edition, and I'm having some trouble. It seems that, while I'm working on things, the program just likes to suddenly start chewing up my CPU resources. It has nothing to do with what I'm doing at the time. I could just open FL Studio up with no particular project and let it sit there and do nothing, and without fail in a few minutes it'll be tearing up the CPU. What's weird is that it isn't some gradual thing over that time period. Instead, it's quite fine for that whole time, only using under 10% inactively, and maybe between 10 and 20% when I'm actually doing stuff. And then WHAMMO it suddenly jumps to 90% or more and stays there, and all of the sounds just go right to shit. I generally have to turn it off and then back on again. And while that worked for a while, now I have a 180MB soundfont that takes forever to load, so I don't want to do that anymore.

    Any idea as to what I can do to fix this? It's a total pain in the ass.

    a 180mb soundfont. either that's a really nice font, or it's a bank. if it's a bank (having multiple presets), then you could always delete everything you are not using with vienna soundfont studio. that would probably knock a preset to less than 5 megs or so. be sure to save a new version and not over the original.

  2. sorry for another question, but i've read the manual and help files and still don't get it. how do i record in FL5 Producer (mic in/line in)? From what i understand, i need to set my card from the mixer (in/out), click the disk in the lower right corner (turns it orange), check settings under file>disk recording, and press play while the record button is down? I get the metronome, but i don't think it records. do i need to set up an audio track somehow? how can i acheive this? finally, will i be able to see the waveform from the step sequencer? Thanks very much.

  3. Well, the simple way to "play" a synth or generator backwards would just be to write the note or pattern you want, export that as a WAV, and import it back to the project and reverse it.

    kind of. . . except the pattern would need to be programmed backwards as well. that could get kind of tricky, but it is probably one of the only few ways. I recommend alterning the attack time of the instruments for a backwardy feel.

  4. For vsti> right click a channel, insert channel>more>refresh>fast scan, then check the box with the vsti(s) you want. The vsti will now appear in the insert channel list.

    For vst> go into fx>select>more>refresh>fast scan, then check the box. The vst will now appear in the select list.

    lemme know if it works. if not, make sure your vst(i)s are in the right folder within the fruity path.
