FRUITY LOOPS 101 - PLEASE direct -ALL- FL questions here

[mightymarg]

EDIT: AAAARGH!!!! I just spent like seven minutes typing this, (I type slowly... sue me) and then someone else gets there first, and says the same with about a third of the stuff I wrote.

Hahaha. Marg>Nemba.

Here's some useful EQing stuff.

But I suck at EQ. That's one of the reasons that I will never get an ocremix to pass here...

Now I have a question, though it's more technical than how to use FL, whenever I open up FL, I get an error:

"Access violation at address 00000000. Read of address 00000000." but it doesn't seem to affect anything though. Has anyone experienced a similar error or know why this might happen?

... add a fruity 7-band EQ or something...

...

7-Band?

Nooooooooooooooooooo...

Parametric.

Here's something that's been bugging me for a damn long time: How many cents makes a 1-octave difference in the Channel Pitch editor?

MIDI pitch bending is such a bitch in FL...

[Xelebes]

1200 cents = 1 octave

[Macross]

Everytime I load a MIDI from a game or something...it makes channels, but when i go to play the pattern, or the song, no sound comes out of them. What's wrong with it? My friend used one of the same MIDI's I used, and it worked fine for him, and I tried to change options and everything, but still no sound.

This has been answered like fivehundredmillionbillion times.

Go into the FX panel, and add a Fruity LSD, and set the channel to 0, or whatever channel all those MIDI out's are set to.

Sorry for the fouble post folks, but this sorta belongs in another post.

I just got Antares AutoTune and Kantos VST plugins.

I'm having a problem with both.

AutoTune won't show up on my channel list when I go to add a VST plugin. I rebooted, re-entered the registry key and everything.

Kantos shows up, but I get an error message saying it can't be loaded into an effect channel.

*UPDATE* now neither shows up inside FL.

Help?

2 New Problems: Sound too slow, and FL can't play

When I click in Piano Roll on a note, it needs a time before FL plays that note.

Perhaps it has nothing to do with that problem, but this problem began on the same time: When I click play, FL doesn't play the song. The only thing that chances is in the place of the '|>' there comes a '...'

does anyone know these problems?

[NembaTheKid]

To the first question, go options > audio, and take the buffer length down a little, but this might reduce the quality of the song when it plays.

on how much samples does fruityloops begin when you use it for the first time?

[NembaTheKid]

Ummm.... I cannot remember because since I have shitty onboard audio, I have mine dragged up to full all the time unless I'm recording something midi, when it's annoying to have a pause when I play.

[mightymarg]

Still looking for Antares help....

[skulkrusha]

1. Are the VSTs in the right place? By that I mean wherever your VST folder is.

2. Have you scanned for the plugins in FL? Try quick scan and then scan and verify if the quick scan doesn't show any results.

3. Are any VST/DXs showing up? Do new ones show up?

[lazygecko]

They may not be compatible with FLStudio. Some VST/DX plugins are to be used for audio editing software like CoolEdit.

[mightymarg]

Skulkrusha:

Yes, yes, and yes.

Gecko: You might be right. It didn't say that they were tested with FL. Which would suck.

[skulkrusha]

This isn't directed at anyone in particular, just something I've noticed.

I've noticed that not only are people asking questions that have already been asked and answered within, say, the last 5 pages (I dare you to count the number of times "Fruity LSD" has been mentioned within the last 5-6 pages in response to people asking the same questions), but many of them are also explained in the manual. For instance, everything I could ever want to know about automation is only a scroll down the left frame. It tells me what automation is, how I use it, all about the event editor, live recording from MIDI sources ... Sure, if you didn't know how to make the controls move on their own during playback and what that was called, you could ask, but it'd helpful if people would respond by saying "it's called automation. Check in the manual, and if you need any more help, just ask" or something along those lines. We shouldn't have to explain something that you could quite easily find out for yourself once you know what you're looking for.

In short, please check the manual first, and use this forum's search function to look for answers before posting new questions! It makes us regulars a much happier bunch to deal with

Okay - half these don't work! Did someone purge the threads, or did they just kinda die form inactivity and now they dont exist? I wanted to use them for info - whats goin on?

[djcubez]

They died. This thread's been here for over a year.

[djcubez]

By the way, I compiled the first 20 or so pages into this website: http://geocities.com/ocremixcrew/

Heh...hence the old link and old name.

[skulkrusha]

I'm sure if Mythril Nazgul hasn't already broken his back compiling those pages, he'll appreciate that.

Prophet: What djcubez said. They were innactive for too long and were automatically purged.

[prophetik music]

They were innactive for too long and were automatically purged.

Ah - the Prophet understands now - thanks skulkrusha. i'll have to check out that other site to see what i can find there - maybe thats what i'm looking for. thanks, people!

i'm about to buy the producer edition, but i was wondering if anyone knew if the FL studio XXL offer is still avaliable? i'd like to know before i buy it and lose a chance to get all the plugins.

[DarkeSword]

...

It says RIGHT ON THE SITE that it's still available.
