DM Lee Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 they had a fruity beat slicer tutorial in there that let me know what the beat slicer was pretty much all about... do you really need a beat slicer if you manually program all of your percussion?

djcubez Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 Probably not... i wouldn't think so i mean if you just used samples in the step sequencer maybe but if you made the samples or .wav beats your using yourself i wouldn't think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM Lee Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 i dont make the samples, i mean i put them in arranged, like i dont ever "EVER" use the step sequencer, it just seems like cheating to me or something, i put all my percussion into the piano roll and i dont use i also dont use the playlist, i program everything into one full song... does this like eat up more memory or something?

djcubez Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 wow....i use the playlist and seperate patterns...all of that. I suspect what you do it's up more of the memory..i find patterns much easier because i stated creating music with Acid 2.0... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcubez Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Hey UBB i found the tutorial on Computermusic.co.uk about the fruity scratcher, go: http://www.computermusic.co.uk/tutorial/softtut3/1.asp here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM Lee Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 hey thanx, i still dont quite understand how to use it but i will mess with it and figure it out somehow, this was a big help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcubez Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Yeah, i just don't use it. If i do, i just use automation.. i record the scratcher in a certain pattern doing a certain scratch. The thing tht doesn't make sense to me is the fact that the scratcher is an effect and not a generator...i can see it as both.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM Lee Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 yeah, i only use scratch samples if i need em. I dont really have much use for scratching but i want to make some old school run dmc type remixes, my main inspiration would be "It's like that" run dmc vs jason nevins i think. Also egyptian lover is an old school techno hiphop mix that is pretty kewl i want to imitate the style of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzumebachi Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 i dont make the samples, i mean i put them in arranged, like i dont ever "EVER" use the step sequencer, it just seems like cheating to me or something, i put all my percussion into the piano roll and i dont use i also dont use the playlist, i program everything into one full song... does this like eat up more memory or something? that's very time consuming, and very much a pain in the ass. if you wanna go on doing it that way, fine. but the step sequencer and playlist editor are there for a reason. it's about six-thousand times easier to do it that way. also... well... nevermind.

DM Lee Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 i actually find it to be a pain in the ass to have to switch between playlist and regular play to hear just one section, and then you have to move the playlist ummmm, playpoint (the line that tells you where in the song its playing) to where you want to hear, and in the playlist i will probably forget what little blocks are playing what... the playlist just seems too confusing to me, and i think it feels better to see my music in one big piece rather than a ton of little pieces i have to put together like a puzzle. I find the playlist more time consuming. I guess if i used it more and got used to it, it could be better than one piano roll, i guess it comes down to personal taste.

OverCoat Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 I usually use the piano roll for percussion as well, because you can put percussion on the next measure to use as a fill. I guess I never use the step sequencer, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drizzt Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Well I'm what remixers call a Beginner. I have just submitted a remix to ChronoTrigger that might come up in a few days if it makes it. http://bondpage15.tripod.com/Lavos_1999/Lavos1999.mp3 Tell me what you think. I also want to know on FruityLoops when using the playlist (because I haven't really dived into the whole program yet) I will have a solo going, and once the solo stops, it stays in the backround the whole time, Like the strings on the end of Lavos1999. It actually made a cool effect on Lavos1999 but in some cases I do not want it there. Any Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djcubez Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 it's not a generator. It's an effect you add to a sound like reverb or delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM Lee Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 actually i did have 3.0 before and i swear i remember messing with it one time, but not having a clue what to do other than put an instrument and scratch it back and forth, other than that it was useless.

Zaro Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Ok I need some help in FL, How would I go about in making a piano line into a decent electrical guitar sound? Is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcubez Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 No not really... The best sound i've gotten is by using a wasp and throwing a blood overdrve and paramtric EQ on it. It still doesn't sound the best though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I know. There's a VST effect somewhere called Warp or WarpVST or whatever. I found it on KaZaA, so I don't know if I had to pay for it or not. Please tell me if it could have been purchased. ANYWAYS, once you get it and install it, start it up, put it in an FX channel, set it to "plexi" or something, it's the middle line. put the effect on a piano and it will actually sound remotely like a guitar. I think. Do it, it sounds cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossodio Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Ech... this is a hard question to put into words... I have written tracks for a song I am writing; some of my channels are .WAV's (each one is a different part of a drum kit). I want to get each of these channels and change what they play into soundfont sounds. If I simply add another channel that is the soundfont player, then I have to cut and paste every single note in every single .wav channel into the soundfont player -- so this is really not what I want to do. Does anyone know of a way to do this? All I can do right now is change the sound that the channel plays into a different .wav sound If the question is unclear, let me know... otherwise, I hope to hear an answer from you guys soon. - Rossodio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcubez Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Yeah it's kind of unclear. What i hear is that you want to use the soundfont player to play and edit .wav's in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossodio Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Ech... not quite. I have soundfonts, know how to manipulate them using the soundfont player, etc... The problem is that i have already written some music using a .WAV channel running through FX filters. I want to get these beats/notes and move them into a soundfont player channel, as opposed to having to cut and paste all the notes for all of my tracks manually. Does this make any more sense? Damn, I wish I could think of a better way to ask this. Ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbnewberry Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 You can move the midi information from one track to another. Get in piano roll for the track you want to copy. Click on the little piano icon in the upper left corner of the piano roll window. Edit-select all (or ctrl+A). Edit-copy. Then open piano roll for the soundfont channel you wish to move the data to. Click the little piano icon again. Edit-paste. This will move the midi data for the entire length of the pattern. Don't know if that is what you are asking or not.
