My dad built an electric guitar back in about 1967. It's not too well made, as it was only a hobby project, but it's still in good shape after 40 years. I don't really play guitar though, but with my keyboarding experience I can play some simple solo lines.
I don't have an amp; I use some freeware software instead - those Guitar Suite VSTs that Taucer mentioned sound pretty cool. However, I ordered one of these bad boys for recording MIDI piano and mic preamping, plus it has a guitar amp simulator. It won't be coming for a while, though, since it's a brand new item for many retailers and they sold out their initial stock (which wasn't much to begin with) very quickly.

Yes.
In your mixer, select a track. Say, track 1. There's a menu with the word "IN" next to it. There, you can select from any input you have. This includes physical inputs, such as those from your soundcard. Once you have that selected, assuming you've hooked up your instrument properly, your guitar will be going right through that effects track and then output through FL. By clicking the little disk icon, you arm the track for recording (right click to arm it, or left click to arm it and name the recording file). When you want to actually play, you hit the main record button on the transport (next to the play and stop buttons), hit play, wait for the countdown, and go to it. Like any other recording software.
I'd very much like to do this with a guitar, except for some reason all the IN menu lists for me is "none". Does anybody know of a way to add the sound card's line in\mic in to the IN menu?

I myself ordered from Sweetwater an Edirol UA-4FX, for recording MIDI from piano as well as vocals. When it failed to show up at my doorstep two weeks later, I called them and - in less than a minute - I was connected to a guy who told me that they were out of stock. I was somewhat expecting this, though, since the UA-4FX is a brand new interface that hardly anyone has managed to get yet. (Their first stock of it only came in on February 28.)
In the end, though, he gave me the extension of a guy at Sweetwater who I could call and bug any time about the status of my order and whatever other questions I had. Nice!

What? No mention of sephfire getting hitched in the write-up? Not that I'm disappointed at not seeing it, I just figured that such a big thing might just get mentioned on, oh, I don't know, maybe his own mix?

I'm glad to hear that you've taken care of your personal issues, and that the ZTNet Store is now back up and running normally, but most of all, my black shirt is in the mail! I was worried it would be a lot more difficult to get a replacement shirt. Thanks, leviathan!
-
The ZTNet Store site's back up, so we can now continue our efforts to get some service in vain.
A pity they've run out of Medium black t-shirts by now. =/
-
"Can we get a what what?"
What? What?
And Wingless, your voice was fine. But your mic sounded a bit muted and quiet in parts.
Agreed. And by "parts", I mean the entire show. EQ that shit up or something, Wangless!

Well, check out where his sig's hosted at.

??? Am I missing something? I read all of the mostly positive reviews for this remix and so had great expectations for it....which were not met. To me this is just another ordinary run of the mill remix. Nothing stands out and grabs my attention, and there's nothing memorable to it either. I played this in the background while doing some work and hadn't even noticed it had started and finished. It made that little of an impression the first time around. But hey that's just me... 4/10
Do me a favor.
Find a source tune that is about 12 seconds long and make a 2:00 + song.
No? Ok. THAT IS WHY IT IS IMPRESSIVE!
Learn to appreciate music for what it is and how it is created, not just by how it sounds
Don't bother, Arek. There's just no pleasing Star Salzman, who clearly can only be pleased by himself.

You're all in for a treat when Monday rolls around.
Is it donuts? I like donuts.
Gee, thanks!

whats a PSR?!
It's a Yamaha series of keyboards.

maybe I should call Leviation myself, and see whats up. I have his cell number.
Please do. Tourian and I would appreciate it.

Geoffrey Taucer was my character's name in the NC Rennaissance Faire. It was a pun on Geoffrey Chaucer, and we changed it to "Tosser" because I juggle.
I liked the name, so now it's the name I use on teh intarweb.
I thought as much. Unfortunately, when I have to discuss Chaucer, nowadays I often accidentally say "Taucer" instead.
-
It's talent like this that make me very happy Taucer's on my project. And I very much look forward to seeing what Usa can do with a solo effort on his own Seiken Densetsu 3 project.
-
Noteworthy Composer.
Seconded. But I'd also like to recommend Melody Assistant. It also comes with its own sound library, which is better-sounding than General MIDI (but still not anything that should be used in a ReMix), along with a bunch of other features like a voice synthesizer (trial version, though) and support for a wide variety of music symbols.

And, for clarification, I can barely play a C scale on time, so NO, I DON'T play piano. Piano roll for the win.
Haha, that's what I thought. It's just that the judges kept talking like this was a live performance.
No, I wouldn't say that.
Certainly not for me.Okay, so not you, Larry. But TO talking about the sustain pedal and analoq referring to it as a performance did give that impression.

I listened to Christian's original submission a while back, and I remember it being quite a bit of orchestral, too. Guess he's changed it since.
EDIT: I take that back. The "orchestral" part I heard was the song getting cut off in the middle and instead moving on the the next song on my playlist, which was a song from FFTactics (all of which are orchestral).
On another note... if Christian is a piano player, then how come he sequenced "Memories from the Wind Scene" instead of playing it live?
-
ASU? in that case you should just put it on your student webspace
and then you can go slap protricity in the nuts for me and tell him to bring back abobo
Not exactly sure who Abobo is, but I'm sure if I wore an OCR shirt around campus and then punched the first person who called me a fgt, chances are it'd be Protricity.
Only trouble with that is, I don't have an OCR shirt. I sent my first one back because it feels nasty to wear polyester (which the baseball tee is made of), and I still haven't gotten my replacement.

Darn, well I appreciate the help however no one is seeding that piano torrent
Hey, I'll be seeding it tomorrow at about 8:00-9:00 in the morning and 11:00-2:00 in the afternoon (possibly up to 3:30), MST. And then I'll be seeding it whenever I remember to turn on Azureus.
The connection might break from time to time as I move between classes. Sorry for the weird schedule, but that's when I get to take advantage of ASU's wireless internet (luckily, they don't block torrents like other schools do). -
Section starting at 1:15 is my favorite part of the song (so far; it's not even done downloading). The textures Abadoss pulls off here are very pleasing to the ear and mind.
And let this be a lesson to all those who quit after the first or second set of NOs from the judges. This is a stunning example of how persistence pays off.

An Underground Sewer mix? Finally!
EDIT: That is a very cool bit of percussion you have in there, zircon.
-
I'd like to do a track for this.
Possibly collaborating with someone on some vocals or something?
Cait Sith's theme, '60s jazz lounge style. You know you want to, and so do I. (Although I don't think jazz is your usual style, if I recall. Cait Sith sounds more like it's right up JigginJonT's alley.)
-
By the way, is it too late to change this to, say, a FF5 ReMix project? Battle with Gilgamesh isn't the only great song in there, you know. =)

Hmmm... there's only one set of audio drivers for the sound card on my laptop. Those are selected under the Control Panel. Is there another menu where input drivers can be selected in FL? I only see output drivers listed under FL's audio settings.
EDIT: Ah-hah! Solution found!
I browsed the FL Studio troubleshooting forums for people with similar problems, where I read that one person had come across ASIO4ALL. What it does is enable ASIO support for whatever sound card you have in your system, even if it doesn't have it preequipped - which my laptop's sound card didn't, apparently.
In detail, just in case somebody else has a non-ASIO compliant sound card:
1) Ran the EXE of the installer, which is a very simple run through, no other options to pick.
2) Chose the ASIO4ALL driver under the Output options in FL's audio settings.
3) Found the input device under the IN menu.
The latency's all right; it's not too slow, but it's noticeable, though. Not sure what speed it runs at.
