You should use whatever you feel you need to use. There isn't anything you HAVE to do during mastering, it's just cleaning up and making your song sound better, therefore it's a unique task for every different song.

You should try and stick to higher quality effects though, CPU shouldn't really be a problem on a single FX strip. And remember to reference other peices of music like yours that you want your song to sound like.

I am thinking of getting FL9, can old fruity loop projects be opened/compatible with FL9? For example FL7 project opening it with FL9

Thanks in advance

Yeah you can. However, vice versa doesn't work very well.

Hi,

I have had several years experience in FL Studio, starting from I believe FL4. Well, I'm just now learning advanced compression techniques and I need some help controlling compression/volume levels while free-filtering synths.

I've checked and read documentation on FL Studio about Fruity Compressor and it only explains so much. I suppose the only way I can explain exactly what I need help with would be to look at the song I just submitted (labelled "Cryllium") and tell me how to fix it.

I have had 3 reviews on this submission so far, 2 telling me that the synths phasing in and out are too loud while phasing and I can't hear, nor do I know how to fix this problem.

Help please? Thanks :)

Quick question, I've always wondered is there a reason that when you put samples in the playlist (Like vocals, sweeps, crashes, ect) why they are different colors. Somtimes when I drag them in, some are brown, some are blue, or sometimes green.

Is there a specific reason why theyre different colors? Or is it just random every time?

Theyre specific colors depending on the controller. It's just for organization I think.

if anyone can help, when i export audio my automation clips dont come out, any ideas?

actually i figured it out, no problem.
dont be shy n listen if ya got the time =D

I'm used to creating synths in the 3xOsc but I'm trying to learn Sytrus now.

Well normally if I wanted to detune an oscillator a little I would simply, for example, turn the stereo detune knob to -3 cents.

But since it's different in Sytrus, my question is What is the Sytrus equivalent of stereo detune from 3xOsc? And what would, for example, -5 cents in this be?

Question for ye:

I'm trying to automate the LFO Frequency in Albino 3 (for a dubstep wobble-bass). I've found the control that needs to be automated under Current Project > Generators > Fruity Wrapper (Albino3), it's called "LFO 1 Sync."

I can create an automation clip or Edit Events and it works just fine, my only problem is that both of these methods have absolutely no reference and it is impossible to see what frequency I'm choosing other than by guess-and-check. This is what the Sync dropdown looks like in Albino 3:

Is there any better way to go about doing this? I tried using the formula controller (which I have no experience with) by just typing in "1/8" for example, but it didn't work. I also tried the keyboard controller (also no experience here), but after dicking around with it for a bit I couldn't get it to do anything useful. Thanks in advance for any help :]

Create the automation clip, and then in your VST put the frequency on the fastest one you're gonna use. Now go to the parameter you automated and right click it. Choose "copy value".
Now go to the automation clip window, and there right click on the parameter that says "max". Choose "paste value". Then do the same thing to the minimum value.

Now the highest point of your automation should be the fastest value of the frequency and the lowest one should be the lowest.

Check the picture below!

Ah, thanks very much. This will help a lot. I suppose there will still be a little guessing and checking, but significantly less than before.

z3ta+ does not want to stay at the same reso in the filters section of this particular synth and ONLY this synth. When I try to play the track in FL Studio 8 it goes down to 0 or even when I export it which in the end makes the synth sound very high pitched.

I tried changing from 1 to 2 and dual as well but it still goes down.

Did you hit the record button at any time while making the song and then may have played with the reso knob? That can sometimes happen.

I didn't touch record. It just goes back to zero when I stop or play the track.

Well you could take the long route and just set an automation clip at the start of your track to have the reso where you want it.

Can you give more detail?

EXPLAIN this... Look at the picture (particulary the space between the red lines) and explain how fl does not suck at mp3 exporting....

Oh, how I enjoy your FL Studio rants.

Because they are legit or because you like seeing me pissed?

For me, it's both. But for some reason i can't help but think you get way more problems then anything else around here. By all means, FL isn't perfect. But you sure know your way around finding things like that.

I dunno :/

That's not really true, but I might be one of the very few that aknowledge these flaws however. I've heard countless of tracks that suffer from the problem I depicted, and quite ironically they were all made (or atleast exported) in/with FL studio...

It'd be perfectly valid that my music didn't sound like I wanted it to thanks to lack of practise or knowledge....
However what is NOT valid is when the problems are actually caused by the DAW and not the producer. That's whats causing my frustration.

Good to see that my fruitstration encourages afew lols here and there =)

There there.

I'm really not enjoying the constant onslaught of mixed work I get that distracts from me focusing on completing albums. :(

That must be what Basshunters problem is too. The damn DAW keeps exporting his song so it sounds the exact same.

Several of your tracks suffer from the same problem....Not the BH one though...;)
