You want a pattern to be fed into a mixer channel? You could route all the instruments in the pattern to a single channel in the mixer. Just click on the names of the instruments and choose the channel you want to route them to under "FX" in the window that pops up.

I don't understand could you show me with pictures?

Pie Pie or anyone else. I am useing the free version of Fruity Loops 5 I cannot make any of my songs longer because I cannot make the....(what is it called the weel whatever the thing in the middle of the screen is), I cannot make it longer to iinclude more things.

ok well first press F9 to get the mixer panel in. Then click on on FX you want it on if you want the plugin to go on everything then click mixer...

This reminds me of a question I asked when I was new. I think it was Chronamut who taught me the ways of the plugins...

well let me tell you a story

I was always a very lazy boy and from time to time I get this burst of energy to do stuff. So I started fl stop that after a week later because I would rather be watching tv. Then one day I got this energy boost and well I started again. Then I found out if I import some midi's to FL. I could play around with buttons and stuff.

Take a midi and play around with it you could get some good results.

But remember midi's are well uhm n00bish kind of to a certain extent.

do you only need a mirciphone to make music?

I dont have Fl 5 and I never tried the free version. but all you have do to make a song longer is open up piano roll and keep on going it never ends.

But im not sure what you want so I guessing what you have is the first sound on top the kick. what you want is the 2nd one the clap

by opening up piano roll right click the sound you want and click piano roll

I still don't know if this is what you want but o well.

How does one create a piano roll with claps?

I don't get it just right click on clap and open up piano roll.

Ah come on all your fruityloops experts you guys should be helping with these questions. Im not even good in FL and im answering them...

Can some one please explain filters and what they do

piepie, i think ill try my hand at answering this one.

filters are an effect which take the frequency of of the instrument and change it.
if you open it up, on default the freq. will be like, 1300 or soemthing.
notice how its all blurry n shit.
turn the frequency up and down, and it gets blurry and unblurry.

if you use FL 5 (which i recommend you do), you can take the frequency knob (the thingy you turn) and right click, and from the little drop down bar, it says 'create automation clip'

after you make it, there should be a little automation channel that appears.
then, after you select the automation channel, you can take the filter channel and fuck around with it, making the sound blur in and out.

have a look:

I know you sont have Fl Studio 5 but any advise would be great.

I want to know how to compress my music. I cant figure it out even though I read it in the audio portal.

By the way what version of fruity Loops do you have.

when you export the song change the bitrate level down a couple nothes...

it is the little arrow thingy that is orange when click

Pardon the newbieness --

I followed the tutorial directions for how to input an audio clip in FL5. However, when I put in the song (a full wav file) when I try to play it, either a) the program will automatically cut off the song before it ends (will stop playing in the middle of a measure for example) or b) if I click on square in the playlist or something the program just repeats the first measure of the song.... and then starts the loop in an overlap over the next measure, on and on and on. I've tried this with a number of different wav files.

How do I insert a wav file in FL such that the whole song plays?

How would I make an automation clip of my pattern panning from left to right?

At 12/3/05 10:08 PM, QBsFinest wrote: How would I make an automation clip of my pattern panning from left to right?

on the master effect on you effect channel, open up the effect 'fruity panoOmatic' then on the effect, right click the knob that says 'pan' over it (in the top left hand corner) then make the automation clip from that knob.

I have one more for you. Im making a song with slayer using powerchords. when the pattern with the slayer ends, the hold on the slayer carries over to the next pattern. How can i stop that from happening and keep the hold on the slayer channel? I hope that makes sense.

When I import a beat to slice for a remix or sample, it usually sounds fine until a certain point where there is a loud explosion sound and then silence after it. What is that?

Don't tell me im the only one who gets that.

yeah rephrase it I don't understand what loud explosion?

Yeah, um... here's one. If I want a note to stop as soon as I play the next note on that channel, how do I do that? And I'd also like to know how I change the length between beats. No, not tempo, I know how to do that, I want to change the length of time continuously between beats so I can get a "heartbeat" effect. I did it in one of my last songs, but I have absolutely NO IDEA how I did it.

I don't know if this has been posted already...but, when i try to put a loop thingy in a channel, it doesn't play the full loop? Why is that? Can I fix that?

Jawn

How do I save something I did in the Fruity Scratcher.

(look at pic)
How do i add more of these? i think you would need a lot more of these to make songs.

well i answered this in your other thread but since it will be locked I put it here for future pppl

you have to change the beats per minute

if you want to make full songs you have to use piano roll not that

I've only played with the demo - but I do have one question that I'm hoping that one of you could help me out with - I dunno ... maybe PiePie can aswer this one as he really seems to know what he's talking about:
why exactly does FruityLoops suck so much?

it doesn't you just have to know how to use it.

The early versions of Fruity Loops are bad though but 4 and 5 and soon to be 6 are good. It is good for a noob and it is still powerful enough to for that experianced user...

I use fruityloops look at my music

B0UNC3 uses FL and well look at his he pwns my 1000x so yeah...
