in FL 8...

Im not experianced with it but my guess is to hook up your mic, open up edison in an effects channel and click the record button. It should be on 'record on input' by default and will only start recording once sound is coming in.

Does anybody know the name of the main lead in this song? I use FL7 and I know the user has FL studio.

That doesn't mean that the lead comes with FL7. That user could have used many different plug-ins, both standard and custom.
My guess is that the lead is 3x Osc.
The best thing to do is ask the author of that song to tell you what they use.

It sounds like a preset from Z3ta+.

Correct! I believe it's called "Commercial Trance" under section... 5 in the synth? It's been a while, but that sound is annoying and unmistakable.

Is there any way I can combine two different fruityloop files into one song?

Also, can I change the time signature in the middle of an FL song?

Hey, I was wondering how to use a frag envelope, or how to find one even. My friend sent me a .flp of a song of his and he used frag envelopes quite often, could anyone briefly explain where to find or how to use one?

Well you could save one as an mp3 and load it at the bottom of the playlist window of the other file. I would give you a screen shot but im not at home. If you can not figure it out let us know and I will post one later.

If you are talking about the tempo then no. Tho you could just space your notes farther apart on the pattern window. Increase the pattern size with the little gray box in the uperleft hand corner.

LIES!!! You can record the automation for the tempo, same as you would for various knobs in the program.

Although I do believe djconnect meant, TIME SIGNATURE as in 4/4, 3/4, etc.. which would be a NO as far as I can tell.

Accually, you can change the tempo using automation, but you cannot change the time signeture, which is found on the project general settings page under options.

To clarify my last post, the reason that you cannot change the time signeture with automation is because of the basic structure of FL studio which would cause a error in the program. Imagen a song playing at bar 10 in 4/4 time, then changing the time to 3/4 would cause it to jump to beat 4 of bar 7(in 4/4 time) while reading bar 10 in 3/4

Thanks, you solved the first problem and I can see now from the other posts that it's impossible to solve the second :(

in most insturments, when they play a note, it's continued on for like ever.
The note doesn't stop, and when the next note is played, the first isn't stopped, they play simultaneously (sp?). How do I stop a certain note from playing...

what?
I click on channels at the top bar... then what? I don't see a misc tab.

He means click on the instrument / sampler bar, then click on the misc tab and go to this. (I'm pretty sure, anyway.)

And I think "use loop points" is found in the SMP tab.

oh thanks!

sorry... but what if I want some notes to do cross over, while other's dont...?

When i install Fl 8 do i have to uninstall Fl 7? or can i keep them both?

You can keep them both, but if you want to change or a setting, add new VST(s) or sample(s), etc., you'll have to do it separately for both versions. Just remember to make a new, separate folder for FL8. ;)

I'm trying to record via a logitech usb microphone using ASIO but whenever I switch to ASIO, my sound goes out and I cannot hear any kind of feedback from the program at all. It only happens in FL because I can hear and watch youtube videos just fine.

I'm able to record when in ASIO mode, but I have to switch back to Primary Sound Device every time I want to play it back. The "in" section lists my microphone for the input, but the "out" section says "Not Connected 1 - Not Connected 2 when I'm in ASIO mode. I'm using an hp laptop if that's any help.

Is there any way to fix this?

I have experienced the same issue at times. I am using a HP laptop too, and running vista, but the problem lies in other programs (other than fl studio), such as windows media player, audacity, ect. My solution is to close other programs first, or to set up all the programs you want to run to run on AISO 4 all.

You mean that sometimes you want to play 2 notes at the same time? I would suggest you use the Piano Roll instead of the step sequencer. On the piano roll you choose which note to play, and also you can stretch the note to play for as long as you want.

Probably been asked before, but...

Can anyone point me to a decent tutorial or some sort of help resource for using Sytrus. I don't want something that explains the whole process, as I believe in figuring out what sounds good for myself, but rather I'm looking for a simple explanation of what all the sliders/matrix do per se.

I can't think of anything that quickly explains Sytrus, because it can be quite the powerful and complicated synth. But this tutorial by Blackhole12 is really worth a look through if you're interested in how it works.

I've found the best way is self taught. If your willing to put the time in, choose a preset from Sytrus and then open anotherSytrus and choose default. Keep playing a note and copy the settings from the preset to default one by one and you will hear the gradual changes

K, so I've got a little problem.

I tried importing a .wav in FL Studio 7, it asks me a directory to store the .wav, so I stored it under ''sliced beats''. The problem is, it still says the file is missing, and the directory is still empty.

How can I import a .wav properly?

If you want to just import a .wav file, you can drag and drop the wav file from Windows Explorer into your playlist. Or you can go to "Channels > Add one > Sampler", then click on the sampler box and click on the folder under the "SMP, INS, MISC" ect tabs and select your wav file. From there you can use the piano roll or the "simple sequencer" thing with the boxes that light up when you click them, or drag the sample by dragging the waveform of the sample onto the playlist.

Also, if you're wanting to slice up something like a drum sample, you can go to "Channels > Add one > Fruity Slicer", then click on the Fruity Slicer and open the sample you want to cut up by clicking the folder with the "+" signs / stars or whatever is on the folder (it's the second from the left).

a bunch of helpfull stuff

Thanks man :) well I tried doing it manually by just copy-pasting it in my FL-folder, which worked too, but your method is even better.

This is a much needed bump.
