The sound I want to recreate is in this BGM from the video game Monster Tale:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC9wuZ1rDmw
It comes at the 15 second mark, and isn't one of the drums. It's the open, resonant sound. I feel like it could be recreated using basic waveforms and some decay. Does anyone recognize it?

Try using combinations of sinus and triangle, and add a slight bitcrusher. I haven't succeeded yet but I think this is the way to do it.

How do I load vsts from multiple folders? Extra search folders somehow do not work

F6 to select the step sequencer
Then click the down arrow on top of the window (after the name of your pattern).
Then select "split by channel" option.

afaik you can only load vsts from one extra folder, which you can specify under options > file settings, below the browser extra folders list. they'll also load from /Image-Line/FL Studio/Plugins/VST/

probably just need to move all the .dll files for your VSTs into one folder (/Program Files (x86)/VstPlugins/ is a common default). plugins that aren't self-contained in the .dll might need to be reinstalled; point to that folder as the folder you put plugins in (most plugin installers will let you do this).

Wow I didn't know that, that's gonna be very useful, thanks! :)

I started using FL Studio 11 recently and had some questions about it.
First of all I noticed that in pattern view some samples are different colors, what does this mean?
Second of all I noticed that some sample effect menus, like the Piezo guitar, have great amplifier settings
while others, like the Ibanez bass guitar, do not. Is there a way to get these settings onto samples that don't have them?
Would I be better off just getting a different sample?
Lastly I'd like to know if there was an easy way to browse a lot of free use samples that compliant with Newgrounds no copyrighted material at all policy?

first thing is that the term "sample" refers specifically to sound files which you load up into Sampler channels (grey) or as audio clips in the playlist. the others are known as "generators" in FL, but if you see people talking about "plugins" then they mean pretty much the same thing.

anyway the different colours that come up for for each of those different generators is just their default colour e.g. 3xOsc comes up purple, layer channels are black WASP XT is pink etc. you can change a colour in the menu (Channels > color selected)

while others, like the Ibanez bass guitar, do not. Is there a way to get these settings onto samples that don't have them?

if you have XXL edition of FL you can use the effect plugin "Hardcore", which has a bunch of different amp and pedal simulators that you can apply to anything in the mixer

Would I be better off just getting a different sample?

for guitars, if you can play and record it then that will pretty much always be better than using a guitar synth

Lastly I'd like to know if there was an easy way to browse a lot of free use samples that compliant with Newgrounds no copyrighted material at all policy?

I usually use my interface soundcard but when i am not at home(connected to the interface) i have no way to go but use the primary sound card which sucks.

ASIO can only talk to a SINGLE sound driver that is being used by a SINGLE application. The coding does not allow for multiple applications to use a single sound card that is utilizing ASIO. This includes the INPUTS and OUTPUTS of that driver, i.e.; your Laptop's primary sound driver's INPUTS are used by the on-board microphone (or microphone jack if you have a desktop). your Laptop's primary sound driver's OUTPUT is being used for the sounds of the operating system and other applications. Both INPUTS and OUTPUTS need to be free for ASIO to function properly. So therefore, if you are attempting to use your computer's primary sound card/driver to run FL while using ASIO, you would need to turn off the INPUTS and OUTPUTS in the control panel of Windows. Once this is done, and you are sure both the inputs and outputs are free, load up FL Studio and change the Playback Engine (In the Audio tab) to ASIO4ALL. Once this is done, click the button to show the ASIO Settings. Click the arrow next to the Primary Sound Driver to display the INPUTS and OUTPUTS. If they have a red X on them, they are still being utilized by Windows. If they are grey or blue, they are free to use by ASIO4ALL and FL Studio (click to make them blue if they are grey though).

Also, here is a tip: Make sure the sample rate and bit depth of what FL Studio is running at matches what your Primary Sound Driver is capable of processing or you are likely to get artifacts, distortion, and sometimes nothing at all!

If none of this works, you most likely have a compatibility issue between FL Studio and your OS/On-Board Soundcard. You will probably not find a solution that makes sense or works regarding these issues as they are specific to you and your computer's hardware and software. The troubleshoot I displayed above is a complete rinse and repeat of whole process of setting your inputs and outputs up in FL Studio using your Primary Sound Drivers and ASIO4ALL.

Good Luck!

Can FL Studio run on Linux?

yes it can! (you will need to sign in to your image-line account to view that link)

Yep. When my previous computer died, I used Knoppix to access the HD, for file recovery purposes. Since I was there already, I decided to run my FL Projects just to try. Every VST worked fine too.

I run FL Studio 10.0.0 on Linux Ubuntu 13.10. I cannot use FL Studio 11 because the GUI does not load and none of the text in the boxes show up. Other than that, FLS 10 works just fine. my only complaint is that I cannot use the ASIO drivers and I sometimes have to limit my production level. Unless you wanna bounce things down to stems though. Overall, I would prefer using it on Windows, but I have no OS installation disk. But Linux works just fine for me. Check my Soundcloud for my newer stuff. My I Do It (Diskovr Remix), and everything newer was made on Linux. Hope this helps!

Yo yo, I was wondering when using edison in fl is there a way to take say a sample of percussive hits and have edison automatically detect and mark the transients so i can save them individually? instead of me manually going in and cutting out each one.

I don't know if that's possible but you can place markers, maybe that can get you anywhere...

Hello every one. I'm wondering what the best VSTi that work correctly on FL 11 with out any problam and what the Best VSTi for trance genre?

Massive

Quick question, and I know I've asked something similar before but I just wanna double-check.

When getting FL 11, is the product key the same as 10, or must it be updated? Because if it has to be, I'm stuck... For some reason I can't access Image-Line's forums even when logged in and I know they have a thread for queries of this nature.

That, and no .exe files for FL 10 exist when I try to look for them.

I've had PC troubles recently and I've got the key for FL 10, but I can't reinstall it without the relevant .exe file.

no harm trying your old reg key, if it doesn't work then it's probably time to start emailing IL support or something :v

What's up, NGAC? So, I recently tried to download this sample from www.mediafire.com, but I'm not sure how to find the actual instruments in FL Studio. I tried using YouTube tutorials, but they all seemed to be about plug-ins rather than samples downloaded from the Internet. I already put the sample into a folder in FL Studio, but when I opened it in the Step Sequencer it came up under the name "Sampler" and there was no sound. DX Do you know what's going on? Please help!

The specific codec that the sample is encoded in is not supported by the FL engine. Try converting it to the same or similar sound file type with an industry-standard codec.

That file name looks familiar. Is the file extension .sfz (or .sf2) by any chance?

just use fruity soundfont player to open it, or a free VST player like sforzando if you dont have XXL edition

I only have an i5 processor and now my music is getting a lot better. I need to know every tip there is to save CPU. I already froze all my tracks to WAV samples. Turned off the mixer inserts on those instruments, as well as the instruments themselves. My latency is at 186ms. I cant use ASIO cause I'm using Linux Ubuntu. Any other tips guys?

if you're running FL via wine you can use wineasio and JACK to get ASIO working

actually you might not even need wineasio, but you will definitely need JACK

I tried installing wineasio, but nothing worked. Im such a beginner when it comes to LInux. I looked on the ubuntu forums and I couldnt find anything that worked. And then for jack, Im pretty sure i have it installed, but it doesnt work.

Update: Wineasio installed. It shows up in FL Studio's sound settings. Then QJackCtl installed. I started QJackCtl and set my driver to my hw:PCH which is my default. But then when I selected Wineasio in FL Studio. It crashes, and I have to reset FL Studio's settings.

Please, someone help me lol.

How does one add real stereo width and depth to mixes in fl? I find just panning sounds doesn't cut it. I use reverb and unison on synths etc but I'm after more, especially on basses . I was Wondering if the fl stereo shaper or stereo enhancer might be the key? Only I'm not familiar with using them, would it be something I can stick ony bass buss?

Depending on the layout of your mixer, usually the right side, is where your plugins go. You'll see a knob that says Stereo Width when you turn it.

Turn to the left and it seperates and widens stereo. Turn to the right and it merges it to mono. I might have a width of about 10-15%. But its really to your own taste.
