Infinitipo Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Alright, I picked up sfz--but I'll have to try it out when I have time. Also, I'm well aware of the problems with the Express version. I mean to update to a better version of FL anyway; I just never knew how soon that would be. And I haven't had much time to examine all the pages in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NembaTheKid Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 ok. sorry if I sounded a bit angry or something. I got up at 4 in the morning today, and I have had nothing to eat all day either cause I am feeling really sick, and to top it all off my little brother was running around me in circles screaming, so i am a bit irritable.

Infinitipo Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 It's ok. I wasn't my best yesterday either...but I'll be sure to spend more time here before I get another purchase--I was just growing really tired of the demo version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skulkrusha Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 A bit of an odd request, but does anyone still have the FL 3.5 installer? It's not that I particularly want the old version, I just want the FLP files from it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savior Sephiroth Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Savior, did you buy all the extra plugins? Because you have to pay for a lot of the extra stuff like SFPlayer, Wasp, and Sytrus. If you did, go to FLStudio.com and post your problem there; they'll help you get it sorted out.If you haven't paid for it, then don't used the plugins, find alternatives, or buy the ones you want to use. I'm just using the soundfonts that are in the Compiled Links Guide - Great for Beginners Sounfonts section. That's ALL I used to make a song, and it says they are demos. I don't know wtf is going on. It's fucking driving me insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to pay for the plug-ins in FLStudio. It does not matter if the sample you have is free. If the SAMPLER is demo (i.e. Fruity Soundfont Player), then FLStudio won't save it.

speculative Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Wow, I still have to search through this whole thread, it's so big! But, I just had a quick question - don't have my keyboard controller yet (took 9 years of piano so I think I'll be able to do more dmg with a controller) so I was messing around with knobs (I am teh "knob newb!") and was wondering: How would I record my actions on the knobs? For example, right now I'm playing the "duda_drumsynth" loop that comes with the demo in the "cool stuff" folder, and I'm on the controls for the "3x funk" in the "INS" menu. I'm twisting the "ATT" knob (attack?) which, when dialed in to the left, will cause a guitar-strum sound. When dialed to the right, this will cut out completely. I was just messing around and find I can create some interesting rhythms by twisting the knob in time with certain beats of the loop. So how would I go about recording these actions as though I were playing that "live?" Or, would I have to find some way to program this into the pattern. I find that when I do this with various loops I create, usually the rhythm I create over them by twisting knobs runs longer than the length of one loop. -speculative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xelebes Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Using the record button you can automate knobs. Or, for even more complex patterns, you can use an event editor. Using FruityLoops plugins, just right-click on a knob and menu appears. Select Edit Events. The graph before you is an x:y graph where the x axis is time and the y axis is the responding variable. ... Can't wait for the FAQ to be compiled here.

speculative Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Thanks for the info, I'll give that a shot. Trying to decide between Fruity Loops and Reason 2.5, so I'm trying out both the demos. The tips in this thread are great; thanks everyone. -speculative Edit: That worked like a charm - thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordsau Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I have a stupid question. How do you add reverb to percussion instruments? Like- I know how to add reverb to say strings etc, but not percussion. SO. Can anyone help me here? Because, I love the squidfont orchestral percussion kit, but there is hardly any reverb, so i need to add some, but when i raise the little R bar, nothing happens, nothing changes. Help.

DarkeSword Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 ... Look up the mixer and FX channels in the help file. All will become clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rellik Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 R is not Reverb. R is the "Release" stage of an envelope; the higher the R, the longer the note will continue after you release it, slowly decreasing in volume. Reverb is another thing entirely. For that, I would suggest looking at the basic help, like DarkeSword said, because it's not the type of question that anybody feels like answering (It's like answering "How do I put a note on the PlayList?" but it takes a lot longer to answer ).

jordsau Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 k... so, i noticed a little section on the sf player called "reverb". I tried everything. I moved the knob, placed the 'built in' button on, and the lcd thing. Nothing happened. Someone help.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Alright. Check it out. I'm going to teach you how to use effects. Pay attention. When you open a channel window, look at the upper right corner of the window and you'll see a small box with a digital display in it. You can click and drag this box up or down to change the number inside. The number inside corresponds to an FX Channel. All the sound from your Generator Channel (ex. the soundfont player) will go through that FX Channel. Now press F9. A window will pop up. This is the mixer. Select the FX Channel you set your generator to. Notice the drop down menus in the bottom half of the window. Click on the arrow button and go to Select. NOW YOU CAN ADD EFFECTS!!! :D :D Fruity Reverb is one of the effects. Enjoy, and try not to overdo the effects. _______ Note to everyone: A lot of this kind of information can be easily found in FruityLoops help files and user guides. Your best bet to learn how to do stuff in FruityLoops is to check out the help file. I don't mind helping people out at all; I just gave a pretty detailed overview of what to do; however, this question concerns one of the most BASIC aspects of FruityLoops. It's like asking "How do I use the playlist?" Please check out the helpfiles. They have search functions. Help yourself. If you really have a problem doing something in FL, post here; we'll be GLAD help you out; but please, don't just decide that you're too lazy to find things yourself, and post here expecting answers to really basic questions. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordsau Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 THANK YOU SO MUCH! Yeh, i checked the help files but they were too confusing...meh. PS: Darkesword, your soundfonts are amazing. Update your soundfonts site again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcubez Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 djcubez's Dictionary Reverb - Reverb is an effect you can add to your song. What is basically does is simulates the echo of a room. Reverb is made by taking a basic delay and repeating it over and over again in a succession that happens in milliseconds.
