HoboKa Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I am of the said group above on the title...I've got no effing clue how to use either of those 2 things. I know this is pretty vague, but can some one please give me a step by step process of how to do that stuff? Thanks very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 What software are you using? If it's either FLStudio or REAPER, I could help, otherwise someone else here would have to tell you, as I only know those programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 oh yeah that would be handy...FL Studio =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipode Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Well to start with you could look at the responses to this thread, but as for filters I'm afraid I can't help you... Seriously though. This stuff seems pretty basic, but good luck finding ANYTHING in the FLStudio help about how to do them. FL is kind of weird from time to time - it seems like everything is perfect and really well-organized and then all of a sudden there will be a feature you'd expect that will just be mysteriously absent. Half the time it's just hidden pretty well with no easy way to find it and the other half the time it just isn't there at all (e.g. implementing swing in notes in the piano roll - I spent like an hour or two of searching and messing around, looking through google and the help file, certain the feature existed, only to find that after all this time there's still no way to do it except slice each note yourself...and personally, I NEVER use the step sequencer at all to begin with, so why only have swing available there?).

zircon Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Dude, Antipode, you really need to look harder. ALT+Q. Applies custom quantization to a piano roll - you can select from a whole bunch of different types of swing files, or in theory make your own. So easy to do. Filters: What about them? Filters on synths, or filters used as FX on mixer track channels? There's not a lot to the latter. Load up Fruity Free Filter, select a filter type, mess with the cutoff... there's your filter. On synths, it's the same general concept. What do you need help on? Automation clips: Right click on any knob in FL and click "Create Automation Clip". This will create an automation clip in the playlist. You can right click in it to create a new point and left click + drag to move points around. This will control whatever knob or slider you created the automation clip for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 oh okay, thanks. I think I understand them a bit better now...been messing around for a bit with it; I'm fine on the synths part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
