prophetik music Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 There should be a whole board for FL...this is too long I've been seriously debating going through and compressing this whole thing into a bunch of compact info sections, and starting a new FL thread with them. Like, only one thread, and first post is your basic stuff, then the next one is on clipping or something, then going from there. I've only got a 56k here at home though - is there any way someone can get this whole thread into a PDF or HTML file or something so that i can work on it offline? If someone can load each page and save it, that would work too - just something so i can access it offline at home. I'll go from there. EDIT: clarity and spelling. Link to post Share on other sites

jordex Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 when i start a new project, how do i get it so there is only one default channel (Sampler) instead of 4 (kick, clap, hihat and snare) and keep it that way? Link to post Share on other sites

zircon Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 No, you can change your startup template to whatever you want. Mine is set on a blank sampler. Unfortunately I'm at school so I don't remember how I did it Check out the FL help though, it's definitely in there. Link to post Share on other sites

m1lesteg Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 I'm not sure if this qualifies as a FruityLoops or Reason question, but this board seems more active so I'll try my luck here. I've got a FL file I've made that I want to be able to transfer to Reason, as I really don't want to have to write it all out again. Is it possible to do this? Link to post Share on other sites
Gangstar Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I dont know about that but my friend has truble with his MIDI files when I got FLstudios5 my MIDI stoped working. What do i do? can you help? Link to post Share on other sites
k u n g f u c h i c k e n Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I suggest some one go through this Topic and compiling info about it into at least one or two post, then start a new thread. Link to post Share on other sites

richter Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I dont know about that but my friend has truble with his MIDI files when I got FLstudios5 my MIDI stoped working. What do i do? can you help? Likely your settings reset. When I upgraded to 5, I just had to re-select the correct MIDI and audio devices. Try that. If you need more information, then provide greater detail about your problem. Link to post Share on other sites
Less Ashamed Of Self Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Here's a quick couple of questions. Though they've probably been hashed and re-hased... How do you use the keyboard controller, and what does the 'Fast LP' stand for? Link to post Share on other sites
skulkrusha Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 1. Keyboard Controller's just like any other thing you can link a control to (like the peak controller, X-Y controller etc). Just link it to any control the same as you would for any other controller. You can then write patterns for it in the piano roll, or use an external keyboard to control it (probably what it was intended for in any case). Check the help file for more info. 2. LP = Low pass (filter). It's a frequency filter designed to allow low frequencies to "pass" and cut out others according to how it's set. Link to post Share on other sites
Xelebes Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 I would suspect the Fast in Fast LP stands for a fast roll-off in the low pass filter which gives the sound a harsher sound which can be desirable for harsher and colder sounds. Good for cheap acid sounds. Link to post Share on other sites
chillsonic Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Hello, how exactly does the online download system for flstudio 5 work? If a hard drive crash were to occur, would fruity loops be able to be reinstalled? Is the download some kind of file that could be backed up on a cd? Thanks very much. I am highly considering fl via download and would just like to know. Has anybody had negative experiences with this? positive? Again, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

I am highly considering fl via download and would just like to know. Has anybody had negative experiences with this? positive? Again, thanks. You get a regcode and username. Write it down. Input it every time you want to re-download the regkey for the software, really pretty simple. I've had to do it about a dozen times and have never had any problems. Link to post Share on other sites
chillsonic Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Thanks. Very Helpful. Link to post Share on other sites
PancakeHero Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 All I have to say is, FL Studio 5 is awesome. If you have the plan with free upgrades get this now. If you have the money, order it. This version is awesome. I just got it today and I'm already noticing some much better samples. Guitars that sound like guitars, drum kits that sound real. It is great. Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Ok i have FL 5, and I got a bunch of VST but it install them into its own folder, now how do I go about using them? Do I need to import them or something? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
chillsonic Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 For vsti> right click a channel, insert channel>more>refresh>fast scan, then check the box with the vsti(s) you want. The vsti will now appear in the insert channel list. For vst> go into fx>select>more>refresh>fast scan, then check the box. The vst will now appear in the select list. lemme know if it works. if not, make sure your vst(i)s are in the right folder within the fruity path. Link to post Share on other sites
RocketSniper Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 I couldn't get my midi to work for a while either, correct devices, everything as it should be... except for one problem. You have to add "Fruity LSD" as a sound effect in the Master channel, then change it's channel to 0. My midi's automatically start as channel 0, so LSD needed a little convincing to work.

chillsonic Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 In FLS 5 is recording audio via line/mic in possible? or is it still only midi and wav imports? I read the help file, and from what I understand, it is possible. I just can't figure it out. Thanks very much. Link to post Share on other sites
Wallace Guyford Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 I've got a problem with FL Studio 4. Every time I save a MIDI, the instrument patches revert back to ---. So I have a midi that's entirely piano (except for the percussion track.) Is there a simple solution to my problem, or do I need to download some other program and try it? I've tried some other MIDI programs, but they usually end up messing something up with my song. Link to post Share on other sites
x.LANCIFER.x Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 FL5 question... Okay, i JUST switched from FL3.5.6 to FL5 and, well, you know in the playlist and in the piano roll in fl3.5.6 things would snap very neatly to the grid, and you could expand and shrink nicely and neatly to the grid, well is there a way i can do this easily in FL5 without having to be very precise about every click and quantizing it?!?!?!
