I think it's generally agreed that people don't appreciate stolen music, however, I don't think the consistent curse words and all caps prove a point any better; Nor do I think publicly complaining will do anything about it. Just do your part as a NewGrounder by voting/uploading/reviewing legally and responsibly.

At 1/29/10 03:30 AM, Reaper93 wrote: Another trick I came across recently (in orchestral composition, actually) is that you can pan an instrument, say, a kick, to the right, then pan its delay/echo/reverb effected self to the left. This will create the feeling of a LARGE spacious chamber (the hit is clearly to your right, and because it's on that side of the room, the majority of the echoes will be coming from your left).

That's basically what fattening is. Add a delay that so fast (<10ms) that it seems like one sound. Pan the delayed sound one way, and the original the other.

Also I never really mentioned it but just to clarify I always do panning with my percussion...I kinda just felt like that was a given.

is there anyway to map that macro to my midi controller though? or map the start/stop to the midi controller?

I'm 95% percent certain you can't. FL Studio doesn't do well with external controllers unfortunately.

Response to: Ask your FruityLoops questions here Posted January 28th, 2010 in Audio

Right click where the pointer of the arrow is. Option is called "Create Sub Mix To". If you don't have it then that means you don't have FL9. In that case I wouldn't know how to help you.

I usually only pan things for an entire track if there is something I can counter pan, like if its just a lead and a beat I wouldn't pan the lead, however if there was a lead and a sidechained pad and a beat then I would pan em both opposite directions. Wider stereo spread makes for a fatter sound if you keep the apparent volume the same so I think that validates using it in electronica. Not to mention if you want to fatten a sound properly then you pan the original sound one way, and the delayed sound the other way.

Well when you start going above 10% people it becomes more evident, and sometimes thats a good thing, however, a lot of the time you are just trying to give the mix some space, without making it seem like it's panned one way or the other.

Response to: Piano learning program thing? Posted January 28th, 2010 in Audio

You're not likely to find a piano that is preloaded with tutorials for songs you like. Usually its really typical songs like Joy of Man and Fur Elise.

Panning Synthetic Sounds Posted January 28th, 2010 in Audio

I'm curious what you fellow electronic musicians do with panning. I tend to keep my bass line centered, my lead the left 5-10%, and my side chains to the right 5-10%(unless they are the only bass). Any pads or background noises I usually either keep centered or if there are multiple ones I separate them just for a little wider stereo spread. I usually do some kind of panning sweep with my fx too. I thought it an interesting question just because there is no live instrument to imitate, nor is there a typical layout like there is with pop bands/jazz bands/etc.

So how do you guys pan your synths & fx?

i want to know if you can create some sort of macro where when i push a button on my midi controller, it stops recording in fl, deletes whatever i just played and then starts recording again with the 4 beat click in.

instead of me having to go back to the computer when i make a mistake while recording somthing on my midi controller.

does anyone know a way this could be done or is it impossible?

There is already a cancel recording macro, and I think that deletes the file too. You will just have to hit space bar to start recording again.

Basically, each one has its own settings, and I'd like to make a master drum track to clean the entire drums section up. is that possible? Like without getting rid of their other tracks

Right click one of the mixer tracks and create a sub bus on an unused channel (i think they call it a 'create submix to' in fl studio). then when you right click and go to the 'create submix to' option again you dont have to create a new one; you can just have them all go to that sub bus you already created. that sub bus works just like a mixer track, however it controls all the tracks the have set to it.
It's easy to think of it like you would a business:
Mixer Track - Regular Employee
Sub Bus - Area Supervisor
Master - Manager

Having a good mobo won't help the sound quality really unless it has a really good integrated sound card. You can get a solid sound card for about 100 bucks, and if you want to make life even easier you could spring another 50 and get an m box or a lexicon audio interface(external sound card basically that just plugs into usb or firewire). As for microphones your are going to want a condenser mic thats made for vocals. For a good low line sound you will probably want to spend between 80 and 120 dollars. I haven't been researching mics in a while though so idk what to suggest exactly.

Well that sounds weird, it should stop it, however you could always delete the channel. In your pattern sequencer where it says "Unsorted" at the bottom click that and go to the Audio Clips. Your recording should be one of those channels, so just delete it(it wont delete it from your computer, just from being used currently in fl studio).

You are, and ya it's usually only in radical changes. I do the same thing to get around it. Oh well!

qwerty to midi is on by default, so when you press qwerty keys when in focus of a vst

I don't mean when that's checked(I used to use that a lot when I didn't have a keyboard. ctrl-t for on/off hotkey). I mean some vst's will disable the keyboard regardless. Edirol for example I think does it. Usually it's with cheaper vst's though like tweakbench or gvst ones.

if record is on then it will record every fader you move during tracking into an automation clip. make sure to set up your eq and compressor first, then hit record and start. if you want to make it change sometime in the middle, then do that in the mixdown after the recording by using the create automation clip function.

Response to: Ask your FruityLoops questions here Posted January 24th, 2010 in Audio

Okay here's a couple general problems I noticed.

1 - Sometimes If you have a lot of automation clips starting at the same point you get a loud clicking sound when it hits that part. I figure this has something to do with the automation clip starting off with a totally different value however I have only figured out how to fix that if that difference in value isn't intentional(like at the very beginning of a song when the initial value is set to one thing and the automation clip says another).

2 - Also I noticed that some plug ins hijack the focus of the keyboard. For instance if I was in Edirol and I wanted to switch to song mode I would normally just hit "L" but when the focus is on that it doesn't allow it. And the same goes for any hotkeys.

Response to: Ask your FruityLoops questions here Posted January 24th, 2010 in Audio

Where a can I download or how do I make this sound?

Ya usually people use white noise. Another method would be to use a really long crash symbol and just adjust the CRF(i think thats what its called) in the channel options and play with the ADSR and you could potentially make a cool one with that. Or you could be lazy like me and just reverse the sample of the crash. Reverse effects FTW.

I think VIP-Zone has some good crashes in their free samples(you just have to sign up for free and they send you an email link to the samples).

At 1/22/10 07:36 PM, Mystery-Moon-Pie-Aud wrote: I think it's like a software audio driver.

If you are using an audio interface or sound card besides your motherboards integrated sound, ASIO, a standardized driver from Steinberg, makes it so that the sound is only processed through your card or interface instead of going through both. This lowers the delay a grip when recording or sending midi signals and usually allows you to turn down your buffer length a little too.

In regards to questions being answered from the FL studio thread, I have never had a problem getting answers.
