OverCoat Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Zircon's suggestion works fine, but I prefer to do fadeouts during post-production in Cool Edit 2 [i never upgraded! Guess why!], and I recommend everyone else do that too. You should have a good dedicated wave editor\recorder like Audacity [or anything a bit higher-end of your choice] so you can look at your waveform before you distribute it everywhere. All wave editors should have some kind of fadeout function, it's always pretty easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Why? Doing a fadeout on the master track has the exact same effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Why? Doing a fadeout on the master track has the exact same effect. Because this way I can see what the hell I'm doing:nicework: also normalizing, post EQ, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion303 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Also, fadeouts on multiple tracks are way easier to keep track of in an editor as opposed to automating several different knobs in FL. When I fade a section I generally don't fade everything at once, but individual tracks at slightly different times for a more organic and realistic feel (i.e., if you physically move away from a drumkit being played, the hats will fade first, followed by cymbals, snare, toms, and finally the kick due to basic acoustic physics). -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big0Jack Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Automate the master volume fader using an automation clip. Being that I (stupidly, I'll admit) bought the "Fruityloops Edition", rather than the "Producer Edition", I can't access the Automation Clip feature, so I guess I'll have to go with OverCoat's suggestion. Alright, got it. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnappleMan Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 You gotta buy the producer edition to use something as standard as that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOC is talking about exporting the WHOLE track and then just doing a manual fadeout on the stereo master. Which really is no different than using an automation clip on the master fader in FL... But since this guy can't do auto clips, the point is moot I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrypnyk Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Or he can use edit event, which I'm sure would still work with his edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mia Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I'm fairly certain event editing is an option in any version of FLStudio. Make sure you're in the desired pattern for the event to be linked to, and right click a knob and select 'edit events.' If it's a knob from some VST or effect that has some crazy graphical interface, you might need to get to the edit events another way, such as clicking on the little dropdown thing at the top left corner of the particular window and clicking "browse parameters" and then right clicking the knob of your choice out of the ones that will display in the browser. Speaking of which, can anyone tell me, what is the deal with automation tracks? What sets them apart from normal event editing and how do they work?

Skrypnyk Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Automation clips are easier and quicker to use in my opinion. You can see them on the playlist, edit anything quickly, and know what the clip is doing to what synth/effect/whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzumebachi Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Instead of fading out the master volume, there's a better, easier way to do it that will be much smoother (since 100% on the master volume is actually like 82.5% on in the event editor or something). Basically, just add a Fruity Mute 2 effect to your master channel, set it to off, and set the insert percentage to 0%. Then when you want to fade out, just automate the insert knob to increase to 100%. That way, no more fucking with actual volumes and stuff, so should you have to change the volumes later when mixing or smth it doesn't fuck up your automation.

lazygecko Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Post-editing fades in external programs just feels more comfortable. I prefer CoolEdit's interface for fading and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sole Signal Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Post-editing fades in external programs just feels more comfortable. I prefer CoolEdit's interface for fading and such. I'm the same way. I export my .wav and do all my post-production work in Sound Forge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
