  1. maybe you're running low on resouces/ram.

    Major probable source of the problem. If your CPU useage gets near 40 or 50, thats when the fuz starts. It also could happen if a program like AIM is giving you those little pop-up things in the corner and the only way to fix it is top restart FL.

    Compyfox: Shut the fuck up. If you don't have any helpful comments, stay out of the threads where stupid questions are asked.

    QK: For future reference, use the Fruity Loops help thread stickied up top.

  2. Yes, realpolitik is a jerk. Ignore the people that are jerks and your stay will be more pleasant.

    Again: It's whatever your preference for learning is. Personally I use FL, so do many others. Some people use Reason and claim its the best thing since sliced bread, but I don't think I'd like it.

    Finale, Sibelius, and all that are good for sheet music, but not for remixing unless accompanied by FL or Reason for better sound quality.

  3. Oshitz, sorry DZC, i forgot I was going to link you to a couple crowd noises...ignore the compression issues when you sample them, they disappear when you download it.

    This one is just of a crowded street.

    Some applause.

    Personally my favorite, crowd gets louder after a while.

  4. I don't think you can tune your acoustic drumset like that.

    I have to disagree. The recording quality, type of mics, temperature and brand of drum kit all effect the tone of a drum kit, so it is possible to obtain that tone, just unlikely.

    The video was boring. The thing is, if the Winston brothers don't care, why should everybody else? It is a high-energy infectious beat, so who cares? If your arguement is "BUT OH EM GEE WAHT IF TEHY DO TAHT 2 U?!?!?". The answer is, I'll sue them.

    I'll let you know if one of my funk beats becomes a new underground electronic phenomenen :roll:

  5. How do I properly use GM-compatible drum soundfonts in FruityLoops? Obviously the drum samples included in FruityLoops are not up to par with any decent ones, but when I download drum soundfonts there's really no easy way to organize the different samples. I know each note number corresponds to a certain hit, but that doesn't help when you just have a piano roll with the notes listed by note names and not numbers.

    Or is the best thing to do just download individual drum samples (bass, snare, toms, etc.) off the Internet and arrange them similar to the way the Templates are arranged?

    Sorry for my noobness, but this is the main thing that is hindering my progress in making music.

    Most drum sets are built off the same hits, the starting sample is a bass drum on C3. Then you go up chromatically to a rimshot, snare, (insert sample), another snare, etc. Just fool around with it like that and you will soon memorize the pattern.

  6. Yes, thats the pitch controller. You need to play around with the pitch event editor, make it go "up and down" until you get the speed right.

    Sorry if that was too vague, I have a tendency to do that without realizing it.

    um, if i want to specify 1 instrument's sound goes "up and down" how to do it? i just made all stuff 's sound go up and down together only

    Just for future reference, when the pitch goes "up and down", its called vibrato. You might want to brush up on some musical terms to communicate a little clearer.

    No problem, though.

  7. ^Yup.
    So you'd be able to make high quality music with it? And you woulden't need any additional content such as a keyboard or any other things?

    Just ask zircon.

    zircon has every vst known to mankind.

    he pretty much sucked before he got them.

    dont believe me? listen to his green greens mix on vgmix when it goes back up.

    That just proves the point further (good software=good music)...

    And your excuse? I don't see any OCRemixes in your name...and I'm not turning this into a flame thread. PM me if you have a problem.

  8. Hey there, I'm considering getting Fruity Loops. I know the minimum on music (tried learning how to play the piano for about 2 years, but didn't get much out of it), but I'd like to learn more, but I don't have the time to actually get lessons. I was hoping to learn as much as I could from books and internet tutorials. And I'd also need some kind of "instrument" so I was going to get one of the music mixing programs you guys use.

    My main question is: is FL beginner friendly? I mean, is it the best program of it's kind for people who are starting out? Because that's what I want, something that easy to work with. Also, how much is it, and is it available anywhere? Or do I need to buy it online?

    Finally, would I be able to create songs using just FL, and the samples it comes with or with extra ones? Meaning, is it possible for me to make music with FL, a computer and a mouse?

    Thanks in advance.

    -Very begginer friendly. I started out with it and still use it.

    -It is available in most music stores, you just have to do a little searching to find it. I found it once in Sam Ash music, not sure if that's a national store or not.

    -Yes, very possible with limited hardware (aka the program, a computer, and a mouse). That's all I have to make music too.

    Knowing your way around a piano helps, too.

    Edit: chillah, yea, this is the right place. Thanks for helping. :D

  9. The great thing about ambient sounds is that you can record whatever the fuck you want to record, then process it to death to make it fit your song as it changes.

    Sometimes all I do is take a sample, open the mixer and just add effect after effect until it sounds cool.

    Yup.

  10. I just installed Emulator X for my 1212m, and I'm having problems getting it to work as a VSTi in FL Studio

    Here's specifically what I did:

    Installed Emulator X and its 2GB of samples into my VSTPlugins directory.

    Applied the Emulator X update from EMU's website.

    Fired up FL Studio 6.

    Set all the inputs and outputs to use ASIO.

    Configured Patchmix DSP (Finally getting the hang of this app) so I can hear ASIO.

    Channels->Add one->more->refresh->Emulator X

    Loaded general midi bank, selected any instrument.

    Played some notes.

    Now the problem is that the quality of the sounds is horrible. I'm not talking "The software should have come with beter samples" bad, I'm talking "more static than signal" bad, as if it were 500% of the volume needed to clip. The sounds are very quiet, that's just the best way I can describe how bad it sounds. I tried adjusting volumes (though none of my peak meters in any app were more than about halfway full), adjusting VST latency, setting FL's output to WAVE instead of ASIO, and general messing around in Patchmix DSP. While I got sound output regardless of what settings I used, it was always the horrible quality output I described earlier.

    How can I get the pristine sound out of my card for Emulator X that I'm getting with other VSTi?

    Same thing happens to me when I try to use EWQLOS. I think it has something to do with the physical memory or RAM limits, but I'm not sure.
