whered the 101 in remix 101 go? lol. I kinda liked the 101, made things seem more professional and stuff. Either way doesnt matter, just wondering what prompted this decision.

If you recorded your playing as into a wav file, you could add a sample channel and load the wav into it that way then apply an effects channel and you could master it as you would anything else in fruity. I personally think it would be a lot less work to to record the playing and put it into fruity instead of taking everything out of fruity and working in another program as if you wanted to change a single note youd have to re-export that track, or if you changed a reverb setting or something like that. I'd mix everything in fruity and then when you think you have everything ready for final export then move it to your other program for its final polish.

dont pan stuff too far (all the way to one side) unless it is really for effect. Panning too far can make something sound too thin, so if you are just panning an instrument to one side to spread things out, only pan it up to 50% or so (in my opinion, over 50% sounds cheesy and makes it sound like "hey look, I panned an instrument ) lol. Another thing, which nobody mentions but me it seems, if you are using a realistic instrument (piano, flute, string, etc) make sure you adjust the velocities of each note. Never ever have realistic instruments play at the same volume because it sounds lifeless. People arent perfect so they wont hit a key with the same weight every time. When you hear someone say that your song lacks dynamics, this could be why. Dont use drum loops in the step sequencer that go from the start to the end of the song, thats boring. If its an amazing loop that is like 8 or 12 or 16 meaures long with variation then it may be an ok idea to loop it through the whole song, but usually you should have at least one part of your song with no percussion to let your nstruments get some of that spotlight. DONT COPY A MIDI TO NEW INSTRUMENTS WITH A BEAT ON TOP OF IT... BIG NO NO!

that reminds me, I havent used fruity scratcher in a long time, but when I do, every time i open up the project that uses it in it, the scratches automatically plays (not while im playing the song, right after i open the project, i dont do anything at all and it just pops up and plays until i manually stop it and return it to its starting position). Is there some reason for this, or is there a way to stop it? I know its not event editing or anything like that because it is triggered automatically. The only way ive stopped it was deleting it. It has happened on every version of fruity loops ive used, so its not a version thing either. The main problem with this is I have been wanting to get a mix going where i use a beat loop scratching through and on certain beats scratch in a voice and at the same time the melody line will be a harsh raw synth pattern that will also scratch in, and if i can figure out a good structure where the bassline can be a single note repeating off beat, i would just scratch that in... Basically I want to mix something up where a number of the main sections would be scratching parts, not just programmed notes. If i did this, the project would open up and kill my speakers by playing all the scratchers at once (i always mix with loud volume).

At one point sir nuts and I were pretty close in skill level, but songs liek this make it obvious that he is and will always be someone I look up to as a mixer and musician. He has reached a level far beyond where I am at in my music at this point. I really feel that sir nuts is going to be a name as recognizable as Ghetto Lee Lewis, Beatdrop, Disco Dan etc etc etc. You will defniately be one of the greats of OCR one day, keep up the good work and keep producing masterpieces as this one.

i think i used to get this problem on my old computer and the resolution was the 800x600, but now I always use 1024x786 and I havent seen the problem since, though this is also a new computer. I never really "fixed" the problem, I just went to an older version of fruityloops... I only had the problem in fl 3.56

you just posted in one of the best fl tutorials around lol, you should skim through it a little at least.

THere is a faq type thing being made (again) but as I also attempted the task before I know how much work it is (i could barely get past the first like 16-20 pages myself) so I wouldnt be surprised if it either doesnt get finished or turns out with a strong start and kinda get half assed towards the end (not saying anyoen here would do bad work, but after going through so many pagesyou get tired of doing everything as perfect as possible). I for one hope it gets finished because I used to browse this thread for little bits of info I'd forgotten and refresh myself of the capabilities of fl. Good luk with the task guys.

You could do one channel at a time then exeport it to a wav file. Then put them all togather. but then when he wants to change something even just slightly hed have to go and take out the wav, use the old setup, make the change, export, replace the bad wav witht he new one and then see if it worked and if not repeat the process... One thing I do is restart my computer after everytime I mix something for more than 20 minutes. Also, sometimes I make the mistake and later realise, that I use multiple effects to do kinda the same thing, or they cancel each other out or something... Like say you have filter lfo and at the same time you have a constant lowpass filter on the instrument. use event editing on the lp filter and then can make your own lfo filter. I use to use fruity bass boost and an eq, you can boost the bass witht he eq, lol. Theres a lot of little things to look out for. Another thing, a lot of vsti's have delay built into them, watch out for this, using a delay is basically the note being retriggered so this eats up polyphony obviously adding to your processors workload. If you have four synths with a delay on them and the original notes are on every beat, thats 16 notes altogether, and with delay depending on how many times it echos you could be throwing out 32, 48, 64 notes per measure and each of those notes is affected by all your effects, eq, compressor, reverb, filter, etc.

For some reason izotope vynil doesnt work on my computer... I got the email with the registration code and everything but even after putting the code in, it just doesnt work. Maybe I need to redownload it and get a new code... I dont even know what the damn thing is capable of yet, lol.

My bad, I checked it out myself, I guess the folder I had all of that in got deleted... weird, sorry... sorry... I think hammersound had some guitar soundfonts when i last checked ages ago.

Did you check the stuff I posted a number of pages ago? If you didnt, before requesting again, check the thread and you might find some stuff you didnt know you want yet, lol. This thread is one of the best resources on the site.

I am just wondering, why does my midi playback in fl have like a delay of like a 16th note? Sometimes, though midi sounds crappy, i play a piano channel i wrote with the rest of the original vg song to hear how it works together but on mynew computer (well few months old now) its always had a stupid delay in play time, so the notes dont match up like id like.

Maybe I need to redownload it or something because when i click edit it opens the window bigger, but all it shows is just a big gray window and what I could already see. The same thing happens with the button below edit (dont remember the name) It looks like it would show all the wire connections on the virtual back of the synth. I'll try redownloading and re installing.

Do you have the demo or the full version? The demo version, everything has to be set by editing all the events (the image of the synth is only the top portion where you see the presets name.) You have to use the little fruit in the top left corner to edit anything.

This thing has to get an award for the best presets ever or something lol. I cant afford to buy this right now but i want to. The demo version cuts the volume randomly and after a while cuts it completely You can still mess with all the knobs, you just have to do it through the event editor, you cant actually see the knobs. I would suggest this to anyone who use presets in their music a lot.

DAMN GAY WINAMP When you have an mp3 or wav file they both show as "winamp media file" so you dont really know whats what... The site I went to for these claimed everything to be in wav format, though 90% of everything was mp3... OMG! i have like 800 mp3s to convert to wav format... sigh...

Ive had this problem before but it never bothered me because I dont usually use samples, but upon actualy testing the sound compared to soundfonts I would much rather have my beats done with samples. The problem is, last night i got about 800 or 900 or so wav samples from a few sites (a lot were drumloops and drum samples, but there were also vocal samples and various other things I would really enjoy using) and only about 40 or so of them are recognized by fruityloops. They are wav files but fruity just doesnt see them so I can't even use any of them. Is there something i need to change in the audio properties or something? I am going to check the help file in fruity right now and if i find the answer I will delete this post.

Go back a page or two, I already posted a link with a few bass guitars in it. I think there is picked and fingered bass... Not that sure about the picked bass though. There should also be a slap bass in there. Darkesword linked to his soundfonts, and squidfont (i think thats the name) has trumpets in it and tuba also.

http://www.tweakbench.com/instruments.php Havent tested these much, but found the site through kvr, seems pretty decent, cant wait to use the peach synth and defender If any of these are found to be perticularly useful let me know, I will try and give sugestions on what is really good in this stuff.

K, i didnt know. I thought everything has to work through piano rolls in fruity unless it uses the step sequencer. If you recorded audio live would it be just a really long note on middle c or something, or one block in the step sequencer or something? I havent dealt with recording audio with fruity yet, sorry.

hit me up and I can get you a ton of soundfonts and vst's. I too have over a gig of fonts I can upload a bunch to the server I use (much like the link i threw out with all the guitar stuff in it). Also, I know aol allows like file transfers, but I dont know if aim does. If so you can hit me up on there too "bonnies bf" is the screen name. I have a lot of brass, bass guitars, guitars, pianos, organs, cellos, violin, strings (pizzicato, martelleto or whatever, slow attack etc)

Idont know anything about drumpads at all, but I would assume it would have to use be midi compatible, like, it would record the hits as midi information to play the song back for you... if it was something you would have to record as audio then I dont think fl would support that, you would need some kind of audio processing tool like cooledit or acid or something. I dont think fruity records live audio, just midi, but I could be wrong and if I waisted space here sorry.

go on google and search for things like "sounds of nature" "forest sounds" "animal calls" etc and make sure you include "wavs" in the search title. I need to look for some of this kinda stuff myself, so when I do ill link you.
