  1. I'm new to the remixing game (but not the music one), and have a dilemma.

    If I'm proficient with a sequencer like cakewalk, do you think I can get away with FL express (that is, no piano roll)? If I were to buy the program, I'd also need the soundfont player, and I'm not really prepared to dish out $130 for a new hobby. Taking that $50 off makes it more palatable though.

    Thanks.

    Let me give you a little hint. Get the demo of fruity loops. I know you thinking i cant save but your wrong. Say you started a mix and you wanted to save it take each channel and copy it to a midi out channel. Then delete all of the other channles but leave the midi out. Then go to file-export-to midi. Then when you want to work on it some more open up the midi. When you are done and you think its time to add some good insturments. Dont use the vsts that fruity loops came with.(Vst are the things that create the sound ex:sim synth, plucked, etc). Download some new ones. The defult fruity loops vsts arent that great eather. Once you have all of you sounds made. Just export the song to mp3 and BAM. You got your self a mix.

  2. I am thinking about buying fruity loops 4. But i was reading about the differn verisions(express,producer). On the producer it says download only so that means i cant buy the cd. I was looking at the info about the express verision and it dident say much. But i did notice it dident say anything about a piano roll. But the producer did. Do any of you have the cd verision of fruity loops 4? If you do does it have a piano roll? Also could someone exeplane the differnces between the 3 verisions the site didnet say much. Thanks.

  3. Oh, and may I suggest you to use VSTis? You'll get fatter sounds out of them than with soundfonts. I'd only suggest soundfonts for more rock/jazz/orchestra based productions (but then I'd suggest you purchase Gigasampler when you have the money to purchase it.)

    I didn't plan on coming back here darn it...

    Well, what VSTi's would you suggest I get? I grabbed that Crystal thing.

    That kicks some arse, but anything else that's really good?

    Thanks,

    And how can you import MIDI's into fruity loops to edit them?

    I dont know about editing the .mid's themselves' date=' but you can import midis channel by channel into the piano roll. It's an option in the pull-down menu, which by the way is just GREAT for when you're not quite 100% sure whether you're after a b or a d.....

    Or you can open up the piano roll and click on the little keyboard at the top. Go to file then import midi it will import the hole thing into one channel.
