Garian Report post Posted April 24, 2003 so basically you want to record your own samples? get a microphone and record it.as far as using the 3xOsc presets: make your own. turn the knobs, you will not crash the program, trust me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.......... Report post Posted April 25, 2003 Just wondering...there's this cool effect in lots of dance/techno music where a sound goes from kinda muffled to distinct, and then muffled again. I'm not sure what it's called, and that's my best discription of it. Can you do that in FL? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure what it's called, and that's my best discription of it. Can you do that in FL?Yes, in FL it's called I think Fruity Phaser, and I use it in like everything i do... you can even control how many phases it goes through, i like to put it to a small amount of phases and it sounds good to use on snares, or hihats in the dance/trance stuff i make....(finally, i can be on the answering end of this thread!)

Xelebes Report post Posted April 25, 2003 Assuming 3.4 here...Use Piano Roll.Click C5 and double click while your at it. A window will pop up.Now you can edit length and starting time.Starting Time 0:0:0Make the length 0:0:12Repeat process in first step (piano roll step i mean)Start Time 0:0:12Make the Length 0:0:12 (In fact make the length that way through the whole thing.)ST = 0:01:0ST = 0:01:12you know where I am getting with this.I just figured this out just two days ago and I was like boo-yeah... this is about as good as Finale now! Woot!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ResdntEvilFreak Report post Posted April 25, 2003 i'm assuming there's no way to do this without the piano roll? my comp doesn't work with it, every time i bring it up it freezes either just fruity loops, or my whole comp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COVERFIRE Report post Posted April 26, 2003 Hey, I'm new to this. I've read pretty much all of the other posts, but I got kind of tired areound page 23 and I didn't get my question answered so I decided to post it. Why can I not hear the sounds when I hit play after I import the midi? By the way, I am not in Song mode- I know better than that. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help!Open generator channels (either sample or VSTi)How many?The same number of midi tracks that have midi data shown in the piano roll 'tube'.Play around with your selection in instruments (this is, of course, optional).Copy and Paste: From Midi Channel to generator channel.Now you should be getting something...

Holy Warrior Azar Report post Posted April 27, 2003 I know somebody probably already answered this, but I'm to stupid and lazy to find it....how much is fruity loops? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katleikin Report post Posted April 27, 2003 Okay, I might be doing something stupid...Or my question might not make any sense, or it could be my uh, sub-par comp skills messing things up...by just touching the keyboard, or glancing at the evil monitor...(it hates me so) But have you heard of this? I have the Fruity Soundfont player installer..and I want to start using it with my 3.0 FL...but everytime I go to install it, it gives me this message..."Error - Something went wrong with locating the FruityLoops folder"...Help? Ahhhh.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xelebes Report post Posted April 27, 2003 Soundfont wont work with 3.0Solution: Upgrade to 3.3 as a minimum but preferably 3.5.6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dPaladin Report post Posted April 27, 2003 How Do I Remix?Uh, yeah. I found my problem in FL help, but it just confused me."Some plugins suddenly start eating extremely much CPU power, while they performed good in a while."My problem is that soundfonts, FL defaults (and probably vst, haven't tried), cause the probgram to skip and lag. AND IT WON'T GO AWAY! FL runs BETTER on my laptop, and its a piece of shit."Sometimes happens that a plugin starts eating a huge amount of CPU when not fed for a while. It looks strange but it's not. Floating points are stored as a base & exponent. It works well, except for very small numbers (those are called tiny numbers, or denormalized numbers). Those tiny numbers are stored differently, & the math coprocessor actually eats much more CPU in that 'denormalization' process (that can also trigger an exception on demand). There are workarounds, but they can only apply in the DSP functions themselves. FruityLoops can't do much about it, it's up to the plugin (& most of the ones that come with FruityLoops do it) to check if the values are very close to zero & snap them to zero instead."That's FL's solution. NOW, I'm unsure as to th whether or not I was looking at the right problem in troubleshooting. I ran the buffer up to full, and it helps some, but it still lags. Last time I asked this question, no one responded. Please help me. FREE COOKIE FOR ALL WHO HELP ME! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xelebes Report post Posted April 27, 2003 Use the Delay from FruityLoops 3.4<It has solved the denormalisation problems.Do not use the delay in the Function Tabs, unless you want to use the Resonance nob and Pitch Nob.There are other delays... like the karlette and a few others... but I don't know if you can be bothered with them....
