A little write up on how to apply sends would be great. I can add effects to the send channel, but how do I send a sample or other FX channels to the send?

That and any tips on automation would be great. I never used it because back in the early releases of fruity it used to be such a pain in the ass.

Thanks man for doing this.

I have a studio condenser mic for vocals and a TV tuner on my PC I can record samples from, if you ever need or want something let me know and I'll hit you up.

Automation:

For example; You want to automate the 'cut' of a sample, you right click on the cut, you'll see this option called "Create automation clip" click on that. You can draw the automation clip in your playlist.

If you have a midi controller you can right click the 'cut' and click on 'link controller' you choose the controller you want. Next you draw a pattern beneath the pattern you want to control, click the record button, press play, and while it's playing you can turn the knob you assigned to the cut to achieve the affect you want.


Sorry for my fucked up English

No that's great. I understand it completely.

So in order to automate a certain pattern in the playlist I have to have an empty pattern under it and draw in to the playlist under the sample at whatever point in the playlist I want to automate the pattern above it? Correct or?

Also do I have to have the automation pattern selected when I record the automation, or does that not matter?

If you do it the "Create automation clip" way, you just put the clip in the 'audio clip' section of the playlist.

Excellent, thanks much sir. Cheers!

FL6 and below






EDIT: I should have said turn nob to apply a % of signal to send channel




FL7


By clicking on another fx channel green circles.....it will bring up a send knob, turn to ajust %of signal to go to that fx channel....then you have the regular 4 sends that you had in previous versions


its easy once you start messing around with it

At the present moment I have only one tip:

Learn the keystrokes and get in the habit of using them...This seems like an obvious tip, but it took me years of using FL (from ver 2) before I took the time to train myself...Once I did though, productivity increase dramatically. And it also increase the amount of work I got done in one session...I guess this goes for any software...The more you stay off the mouse, the quicker you can get that thought out of your head and into your ears.

As time goes by, I'll keep adding to this thread...but that is all I have right now

ctrl + q (quick quantize)

alt + U (chop)

those are the ones i use the most, if you have a fancy gamer qwerty keyboard you can put scripts (bind) on it to do some of this stuff (dont ask me)

Q: Is there any way to add additional insert channels so you are not limited to the 64?

---

You can fill all those?

Damn, that's some heavy samples.

Damn, that's sick! I don't know how to do that, but if your out of channels you can simply resample the sound your using, this way you have some free channels to use again.

But I'm sure you already knew that :P
