Disable max poly: This is for many notes playing at once. It will stop distortion from happening at the time, and will "keep it clean"
i dont get how polyphony has anything to do with distortion.

Uhm. Why are you using FL 5?
+1
if all else fails you could just convert all of your samples to wav beforehand

I'm basically a noob who wants to jump in and start working with stuff. I've read some tutorials and I really want specifics. What all do I need that I can get as freeware be it soundfonts or software etc? And where are the best places to acquire them? Tips and general advice would be appreciated as well, thanks!
I wonder where you can get sounds?

demos, demos, demos would be helpful for people to judge what your project is and how it looks.

EDIT: in before "hey I use the step sequencer :<"
ahahahhaaha

plenty is possible without a MIDI keyboard. In fact if I had one I don't think i'd use it (for much). I'm using my onboard soundcard as well. hooray.
if you really want a keyboard though, you -should- buy one. And if you're planning on any kind of live recording, you need a decent soundcard.
obviously things like doing a piano piece with the correct dynamics, pedaling, etc. is really really troublesome to draw in with mouse. use your best judgment
short answer: yes, many (most, all) sequencers/DAWs give you the ability to sequence using a piano roll. Or if you prefer staff notation, there's options there too (though that's kind of a different beast)
look up some software, and try it (free demos = your friend)

just copy and paste from the midi channel to the actual audio channel...?
-
It usually goes like this: I have an amazing idea, get 1:30 into the piece, and start writing filler. BAM creativity gone.
1:30??? damn...
90% of my incompleted projects are more like 4 measures long...

wait seriously...here I am reading back through old FLMC threads and this one got resurrected?
...rofl.
it's actually like an actual entry too (though i'm not digging the oh-so-heavy compression). that's ridiculous. I mean seriously.

instantly reminded me of the "Braid" soundtrack...=p
-
for myself (and i know this is true of others) starting a mix and getting a cohesive idea is often really, REALLY hard, whereas the rest of the mix seems to "fall into place" after some basic foundation is laid down to go to.
which isn't to say that mixers don't have long hours with headaches over mastering, final tweaking of sounds, rearranging things that don't work at first, etc etc.

"stack"? o_o;

Now, double click the second note, select Slide, and hit the checkmark.
Or click the little "ramp" icon next to the "green rectangle" in the upper left of the piano roll window before you input the note.

...i was afraid to take a stab at something that I couldn't even test, but:

"fullness" tutorial should be a good one then.

more specific please.
are you looking for:
-"how the fuck do i even use this program omg so many windowsss??"
-"ok i can do stuff, now how do i make my shit sound GOOD?"
-"i'm having trouble achieving a 'fuller' sound, can you help me with that?"
-"i really have no idea how to lay out a drum track. can you give me an example of how one might do this?"
etc. etc.

i dont do chiptunes myself but that's an ingenious idea. 3xosc ftw~
-
i'm pretty sure there's a way...but I totally forgot and don't have access to reason anymore. someone else handle this please.
-
...unless you are doing something where a keyboard would not be useful at all.
...but in general, yes. keyboards are almost never bad investments.
-
yes, in general there are no "cookie-cutter" soundpacks, otherwise you'd hear those sounds being used in every mix! (how boring...)
if you have a specific idea of what you want, there's a thread for that.
things along the lines of saxophone sounds are -usually- better suited to "soundfonts" than samples, since they actually use multiple samples depending the pitch played (as opposed to just using one sample and pitching it up/down). kind of a lackluster explanation I know, but i'm sure you can research it yourself if you desire.
Darkesword has some soundfonts here that you can grab.

so you're exporting from FL into a wav, then you're importing that wav back into FL for mastering, then you're exporting directly to mp3 from FL??
it's mostly agreed that it's a better idea to convert to mp3 separately once you have your final .wav export. You can use the LAME mp3 encoder for this, or something else if you wish. This will also isolate the problem to see whether it's your mastering, or if its your compression.
