nodspaw51 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Another quick question for you guys, I downloaded a few soundfonts from hammersound.net, but i'm having trouble finding them. I put them in a specific folder and when I open that folder up in FL5, the fonts don't come up. Are they the wrong type of file and need to be converted or do i need to put them in a specific place?

asdfajsdldjsfm Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 They're probably in SFArk or SFPack format. Convert it to a .sf2 file for FL to be able to read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillsonic Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 sorry for another question, but i've read the manual and help files and still don't get it. how do i record in FL5 Producer (mic in/line in)? From what i understand, i need to set my card from the mixer (in/out), click the disk in the lower right corner (turns it orange), check settings under file>disk recording, and press play while the record button is down? I get the metronome, but i don't think it records. do i need to set up an audio track somehow? how can i acheive this? finally, will i be able to see the waveform from the step sequencer? Thanks very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3v3n Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 can someone help me with MIDI importing? im not going through 119 pages to find ONE thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skulkrusha Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 chillsonic: What soundcard, and are you running FL using the drivers for the card or just the standard DirectX drivers? Check under settings>audio options. If you don't have any specific card try using something like ASIO4ALL or KX. From there you should just be able to record from whatever inputs you already have on your computer. You've got everything else right, though. st3v3n: Tried using the forum search function or checking the help file? file>import>midi file. Wasn't that hard, was it?

jordex Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 how can i get the sound of that really sorta "gooey" bass? the one amievil uses, its in alot of songs or more specifically, the one in mcvaffe's darkness and light that comes in a bit before 1:30, the bass in mcvaffes song also sounds alot like the one in 'the missed symphony' by infected mushroom anyways, yea, how can i get that?

Gangstar Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 OK...stupid qustion for an easy answer...How do you import MP3 files in FL? Everyone's saying you can now load them but I not seeing it. Can someone please tell me how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooPKiD Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 OK...stupid qustion for an easy answer...How do you import MP3 files in FL? Everyone's saying you can now load them but I not seeing it. Can someone please tell me how? well you can.. just make a channel for an audio clip, go to the channel settings and open any mp3 sound you want.. another (more) easy way to do it, is to enter your playlist and go down below in the part where the automation clips 'and' the audiotracks are visible.. just klik in there and you will be able to open any mp3 once again! hope you understand..

A.M.P. Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I'm having a very strange problem, hopefully someone here knows what to do about it. I'm trying to load in a .wav sample of my guitar into a project, but whenever I try to play it inside fruity loops, all I get are these weird farting-type sounds. I tried messing around with a ton of different settings but nothing really changed anything. It's really weird cause I already have two samples of guitar in this mix and I pretty sure I didn't have this problem with those. The wav file sounds fine when played through any normal player, it's just inside fruity loops that it gets all messed up. Any help is appreciated.

Son_of_Sin Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I'm working on a medley right now, and that means there are going to be tempo changes throughout the piece. I was wondering how to change the tempo within a song, for example let's say I want an 8 bar intro at 88 bpm, but then I want bars 9-16 at 103 bpm - how do I do that/can I do that? Thanks.

Xerol Oplan Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Right click on the tempo display, and hit "Edit Events". Then click at the points where you want the tempo to change and set the tempo to what you want. Unless it's at a 'breaking point' in the song you probably want to gradually increase the tempo throughout about the second half of measure 8 or the first half of measure 9, so right click and drag to 'draw' a line going from 88 to 103 for a smooth transition.

Thanks for the help, both of you. It seems I had it sampled too high. I was trying to use 32-bit depth and FL really didn't like it. I took it down to 24-bit and it's working fine now.

skulkrusha Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Video Player. In the generators list. You can only use it to play a video, not export a track with video, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Huh...please, how to start in FL? What is more important in beginning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArseAssassin Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Huh...please, how to start in FL? What is more important in beginning?Try reading the manual. There's also a lot of newbie tutorials for FL, you might want to take a look at those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skulkrusha Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Also look at the "getting started" guide on the FL Studio website under downloads. Focus on learning how to use the basic functions of the program first (step sequencer, piano roll, playlist, mixer, using generators and effects, using vsts/dx ...).

Darlos Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I'm using FL Studio 4.1 Producer Edition, and I'm having some trouble. It seems that, while I'm working on things, the program just likes to suddenly start chewing up my CPU resources. It has nothing to do with what I'm doing at the time. I could just open FL Studio up with no particular project and let it sit there and do nothing, and without fail in a few minutes it'll be tearing up the CPU. What's weird is that it isn't some gradual thing over that time period. Instead, it's quite fine for that whole time, only using under 10% inactively, and maybe between 10 and 20% when I'm actually doing stuff. And then WHAMMO it suddenly jumps to 90% or more and stays there, and all of the sounds just go right to shit. I generally have to turn it off and then back on again. And while that worked for a while, now I have a 180MB soundfont that takes forever to load, so I don't want to do that anymore. Any idea as to what I can do to fix this? It's a total pain in the ass.

skulkrusha Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 So, what sort of hardware are you dealing with? What other programs do you have running in the background? What audio drivers are you running? Have you checked the section in the help file to do with CPU optimisation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerol Oplan Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Ok, I'm going in from my keyboard to FL, trying to record something, but I want the velocities to be half of what they are coming in. I can do this AFTER i record but is there a way to record with half velocity on all notes? I've been turning the channel volume down to half while recording, but it's not the same because the soundfont's got different sound at lower velocities.
