I have a few Fruity Loops quesions. I'm using 5.x in case any one is wondering.

Okay, so when you are using a sample that continues playing even after the note in piano roll ends, how to you get it to just stop the sound once the note ends?

With the speech thing, how do you get rid of the echo?

How do you put an echo/reverb on a sound? Also for just a single note?

And how do you gate? I need to know all the ins and outs of using the gating function (if there is one).

And if anyone has any useful and helpful tips and techniques for using this program I would be of the utmost appreciateiveness if you could enlighten me, if you listen to some of my piano music you will be able to gather that I am VERY muscially oriented and have many musical ideas, and if I could master this program "Fruity Loops" I could create some of the best songs you will ever hear.

Thanks guys.

Somehow I've changed my settings to where each time I click a pattern it jumps to that pattern in the automation section of the browser. As in, each time I click on an instrument or a pattern, it immediately jumps to that pattern in the browser. This is obnoxious because if I do something like drag an instrument from VEC1 to the step sequencer, it jumps all the way up to the top of the browser where the pattern is, forcing me to scroll back down to the packs to find more instruments I want.

Anyone know how to fix this?

How would I go about increasing the actual sound quality of FL? It sounds perfectly fine when I convert it to MP3, but while writing, it sometimes distorts the sound and makes it sound like crap.

Go to the options menu, and go to the "Audio" part of the menu and set the buffer rate higher.

Back here again about this X-Station of mine, hopefully someone can actually answer this time? :P

So I'm trying to record the sound from the X-Station (which is a synthesizer, just to be sure) by arming the disk for recording, and then recording to an audio clip on the Playlist. However, to select the X-Station for recording, I have to first go to Audio Settings and select the X-Station ASIO driver under Input/Output. This pretty much means I'm sending the audio from the X-Station, to the X-Station (though sound does get saved on my computer), which causes some really weird and unwanted effects... is there any way to get around them? Or am I doing something wrong?

does writing music reviews give you the same experience as movie reviews?

Not really the right thread here... But no it doesn't. Tom has yet to implement real experience to do with audio.

I didn't know you could write music reviews in FL Studio! </sarcasm>

Its been answered, but next time use the

Wi/Ht forum.

They should add that to FL 9. Then one could review their own tracks, like, "OMG tiz iz teh shitz", and get signed to Armind or Anju instantly.

Have they improved the so-called mastering plugins for FLl stuido 8 or still so bad that you can't even do a sumwhat proper final mix?

Ok.. Well, this may be a obvious question or a extremely hard to answer one..

Using "Fruity Loops" 8, (my brother uses it mainly..) and i noticed, for all the begining tutorials you can make up to 64 bars for music.. But in real songs, they don't even use them.. If you can understand that question, how exactly do you do that?

Never mind, discovered it was solved with play lists! F5 FTW! Thanks anyway!
Ladee dah, Making it a legit post...
No more questions atm.. Thanks for making me solve it myself! :D

First off it depends on the following;

1. How much RAM do you have?

2. Do you have any programs running simultaneously??

3. What is the speed of your computer?

Consider 1 the most important if you have that problem with the crackling then consider doing this

Click here ASIO4ALL and download the latest version...if you are willing to, try downloading the beta...if it doesn't work well..then use v2.8.

The next thing you need to do is goto the audio options in FL Studio
Options>Audio Settings

From there you should see the input/output dropdown menu and ASIO should be in there...click it.

Set the priority to highest..
Interpolation is fine on 6-point hermite
Make sure safe-overload is off
and the sample rate should be set at 44100Hz

Oh and last thing...it would be okay to click auto-close device

ASIO4ALL will allow you to write in real-time without all that crappy sounds and the overloading..

Happy Tuning!

i have no idea WHY! but everytime i open up fruity loops this error comes up "Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c" if i press cancel or continue it comes up again and again like 10 times then goes away and FL is normal after that. so far i havnt found anything thats been affected by it its just really annoying !

Try right-clicking on the Tempo when it's set to 170, and then choose, "Init song with this position." Keep in mind though, if you want to change your mind about the tempo, you'll have to do it again.

Yeah i just realize that D: thanks :]

I'm having a hell of a time recording vocals in fruity loops 7. My first layer records just fine, but if I want to add some harmonies, whenever I try to record those, it seems that fruity loops records the whole song along with it. It starts to sound a little bit distorted on the first layer of harmony, but if I go to a 3rd layer it is painfully obvious. I have tried even muting my speakers and then recording to see what happens, but it still rerecords the song. Any ideas what I'm doin wrong?

Dont record In FL studio.

Does anyone know how to convert a song (one I've already done) into a midi file?
A guy asked me to covert 8 of the most important patterns into a midi and send them to him. I don't know how to do it. :(
Someone help?
Thanks in advanced!

Go up to the top tool bar and I think its.

Tools>Macros>Prepare for Midi Export.

Then export as a midi.

I'm running FL 8, and I'm trying to figure out how to change the time signature from 4/4 to 3/4. I'm new to fruity loops and music in general, but I think that's how you would say what I'm trying to do.

Go to "Options > Project general settings", and you'll be able to set the time signature to whatever you want.

I have a problem getting a real heavy, bassy kick without killing the rest of the track. Every time I try to put some extra "oomf" in it, the oomf just drowns out the rest of the song. I've tried compressors and whatnot, but that doesn't seem to help enough. What am I doing wrong?

Apparently, you're trying to put too much oomf into it.

I want my synth lead to go from low-pitched to high-pitched smoothly, in around 5 seconds. How can i do this?

If you wanted to, maybe you could create an automation clip with the "pitch" knob, if you're using a VST native to FL. Right click on the knob, and choose "create an automation clip", then using the line that appears, stretch it out to whatever length you want, and make it start from whatever low-pitched sound you want to the high-pitched sound.

If it's not a VST native to FL that won't allow you to create an automation clip like that, maybe you could try applying a band-pass or high-pass filter, and then using an automation clip on the filter's frequency. That will not get you the same sound as a pitchbend though, but it might be sort of close to something you're looking for.

I admit I am a huge noob. I am still learning how to use the FLstudios, and I can't figure out for the life of me how get things to not ring out forever. Any help would be awesome, thanks.
