  1. Oh, you mean almost like how it is in a MIDI file. Yeah, merge works great; the only drawback is that you can't copy/paste stuff you already wrote.
  2. I uh, just don't do that. I used to get confused when I went back to old project files, but I no longer get confused because these days I'm organized. I have my own method of organization in which I put related patterns and automation clips near each other (related by instrument), put similar automation clips near each other (related by parameter [EX: EQ band #X gain] or ultimate purpose [EX: compensation EQ]), put section tabs, and name everything. But if you really do want to just condense your patterns down, do what Skrypnyk said. Here are some shortcuts to working within patterns that I use a lot: F4: new pattern F7: piano roll F9: mixer Ctrl+Shift+Delete: delete entire pattern Alt+Delete: delete instrument when window is not in focus or not open (highlight instrument) Ctrl+Shift+C: Clone instrument Alt+Up/Down or Shift+Mouse Wheel: move instrument up and down in list Ctrl+C/X/V: Copy/Cut/Paste piano roll data when window is not in focus or not open (highlight instrument) Ctrl+Up/Down: shift notes up/down 1 octave Shift+Up/Down/Left/Right: shift notes up/down/left/right 1 grid rectangle Ctrl+Select: select multiple notes in piano roll Alt+click-drag: move notes without quantization Alt+X: scale velocities (make a preset for FL to remember after closing. You'd probably use this a lot if you like it) Right click-drag: change multiple velocities as a linear "slope", e.g. for drum rolls More here.
  3. Yeah, this is sounding much better. The lead at 1:09 and so on could be louder if you can manage that without much overcompression. It sounds a bit more distant than I think you would want it. The piano's coming through, but it sounds kind of "plunky" and hard, no matter what velocities you had. I don't know if you wanted that, but that's how it sounds, and it makes the chords in the breakdown section sound "blocky" (very quantized). I assume you had the most trouble with 4:34? It doesn't sound too bad, actually. If you want the piano to come through more, you can look for the quality of the tone you want to come through, then notch EQ the sidechained saw wave a bit there and that should help. Great job so far. This is turning into a cohesive track.
  4. Says ol' grandpa j00j Shariq
  5. Yeah, that should be fine. And if you do a calm remix, it kinda overrides any violent theme of a game anyways.
  6. Well, it no longer sounds muddy. Nothing sounds out of place necessarily, and things are relatively clear. The only weird EQ areas are perhaps 1:43 with the impact being resonant near 12000~16000Hz and the pad at 2:26 to the end being harmonically indistinct (the last chord is major, but is placed pretty far back in the stereo field). Overall, this gets the job done. I don't know how else to say this, but it isn't super impressive. It's nice, but comes off kinda generic to me, at least. Still, you did improve over the course of this, so good job man.
  7. To others: Other ways to say these things are "modulator", "FM depth", and "carrier signal", respectively. Also, you can have FM pads, e. pianos (EX: DX7, or maybe this), etc. and have them be warm even without post-processing. You'd just need to be very particular about the modulation depths and subtractive synthesis incorporation, even if it's all internal to the synth, so that it sounds swell out of the box. Mixing in a comb filter may actually help, too, if done carefully.
  8. Browsers can change text size, dude
  9. Either the e. piano could stand to be scooped a bit in the mids to leave room for the piano or the piano could be raised an octave sometimes. The B3's pretty muffled too, like melody mentioned.
  10. Oh yeah, you can contact me most quickly by Skype, but OCR PM and my email are fine too.
  11. Aside from some synths being rather resonant above 12kHz, this is pretty cool. =)
  12. I moved myself back. I apparently lived in the mountains yesterday. =)
  13. The video demonstration had a whole bunch of fantastic sounds, even if it was only partial coverage. <3 Inspiring, ethereal textures. I highly recommend this.
  14. I'm lonely. D:
  15. Well then, maybe I wish he layered in a music box on full blast. Great job man. Fun live work, and that really brought the flute alive the most with the breaths you took.
  16. FM8, if you're into bells, e. pianos, etc. I think it excels at that, but there's plenty else you can do with it if you put in the effort.
  17. We'd just pick one of the games and go with that one, probably.
  18. Happy Birthday, Larry! Keep rockin' those grandpa ears! =D
