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.

yep, do you have any asio drivers? You can grab ASIO4All and use that if you don't have any. Then, go to the mixer and visit the black drop-down boxes at the bottom of it, and once you've changed your drivers to the asio ones, change the input on any channel to one of the sound source inputs available (should be obvious) and whatever's plugged into that source will be routed into that channel.

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.

All i can think of is that it's automation changing it back. Check there isn't any in the sidebar (current project>automation). If that doesn't fix it, it could be *gasp* a pirate copy.

Sounds like you automated the MIDI stuff after the first beat of the MIDI - like in most of the downloadable MIDIs for FF7 and a few other games. Try, instead of automating them, setting each track to the MDID channel and leaving it so that it won't change. Thats all that i can think of that might cause it. If that doesn't fix it, send me the .flp that's giving you problems and i'll see if i can figure it out.

Just a nice little bug I ran into just recently...

bug.png

Yup, that's my wallpaper. Not the fruity one of course. It seems to be showing any window I used previously. Funny thing is, the problem's only with this song, others work just fine. I even tried creating another save file, but it just won't go away. Annoying.

Anyone else get this bug?

looks like a woman's leg

That happens when you're using a pirate version of fl i think

Now does anyone know how to stretch a melody? The midi I got this song from isnt on the beat. For every beat that goes by on fl, about 1.1 beats go by on the midi

AA: Running any 3rd party plugins in that project? I've gotten some interesting bugs through 3rd party stuff (for some reason, running more than one instance of GalactiX for me leaves part of the GalactiX GUI on the screen after I've closed the plugin window, for instance). If that's the case, all I can suggest is updating your plugins if you can or trying to use alternatives to the culprit/s, if it's that irritating.

Jordex: Um, quantizing, maybe? Check the help file.

No, I'm not running any 3rd party plugs, since I lost all of them just recently in a hard drive failure. It's not really that irritating, but I figured someone may know how to get rid of it.

Yeah, I can't really think of much else, unless you've changed your version of FL/DirectX lately, or if you've got some program running in the background that might be interfering. Otherwise, it's well beyond my understanding.

Does anybody know if FL Studio can play instruments in reverse???

If so, how?

It does, at least, with a normal sample it does..

just grab a normal sample, click on it to enter channel settings, go to the 'SMP' section, somewhere in the bottum there should be a button called 'reverse' .. .

i'm not sure bout' the generators.. :roll:

Well, the simple way to "play" a synth or generator backwards would just be to write the note or pattern you want, export that as a WAV, and import it back to the project and reverse it.

kind of. . . except the pattern would need to be programmed backwards as well. that could get kind of tricky, but it is probably one of the only few ways. I recommend alterning the attack time of the instruments for a backwardy feel.

I have to make a midi for ORC... but I've never made one before. I was just wondering

1. How to put effects such as reverb on midi instrument channels.

2. How to get a midi drum track in Fruity Loops. An actual drum kit isn't one of the GM 128 (as far as I know), and I don't really know how to get a channel devoted to one.

Any help would be appreciated. Sorry for the noobish question, but I didn't really know a better place to put this.

Edit: Clarity.
