[FRUITY LOOPS 101 - PLEASE direct -ALL- FL questions here]

i'd say automate the volume or envelope. both these options give you way more control and it's a better habit to get into. i'd probably go with the envelope, and hell, why not automate the filter as well, probably set to an lpf.

much of what we percieve to be ominous, psychoacoustically speaking, is high frequencies creeping in at hearing's noise floor, especially 1k to 3k frequencies. that's the reptilian front lobes being stimulated. ever wonder why quiet rustling sounds are so unnerving to large mammals such as ourselves?

Chav, that's just the thing - slides affect all note properties, not just pitch - they affect pan, velocity filter cut, and so on.

I'll have another go at explaining. lets say you have a note, C, which you want to go from velocity 30 to velocity 80. All you do is:

1) set the notes velocity to 30,

2) drop a slide ALSO ON C SO THERE IS NO PITCH DIFFERENCE <---IMPORTANT

3) Set the slide's velocity to 80.

DONE. You now have a C note that will increase in volume from whatever the volume is at velocity 30 to whatever the volume is at 80. Easy. Much easier than mucking about with events.

I don't know...the slide button never seemed to work for me...ever. So I just go with what I know. It seems easier, but still..

hullo,

my name is stanley pain and i am from england. i like to write music that sounds good loud, like, in clubs.

i like the wide dynamic contrast you can achieve on a big system. as a result i feel drawned towards ebm, and electronic music in general.

i'm ready with my first remix of a computer game. ready to upload. just waiting to find out my number.
