I didn't want to post and ruin my wicked post count, butnah, I did that in the time between his challenge and my post, don't really sound like yoys to me though, and I'm not bitcrushing. Not classic.

Are we talking the volumes of individual instruments or EQs/Compressors etc though?

Gain structuring is the getting all the elements in your track sitting in the right place, volume wise.

A mix down is the final version of your track before it goes to mastering, where you add EQ, Compression and things like that IFyour track needs it. The peak of your track should be around -6db so its ready for mastering.



Read this thread, its a bit messy (due it a very length discussion) but stick with it you'll have great mix downs by the last page.

Ah I see, that's not really something I've given much thought to when I've made tunes up until now. I was just going with the "if it sounds good, it sounds good" mentality without worrying about dB levels too much heh.

edit: don't you want the final product to be louder though? it seems like this kind of thing would make it quieter in the long run.

Yes the mixdown will likely be more quiet, but it will allow the mastering enginner to make the track louder than it would have been.

Yeah I've just given it a quick read, I get the reasoning behind it now. What about for previewing it to people though? I'm guessing you could up the sound by using a maximizer or something, and just adjust the gain on it.

[benjam]

Or turn the speakers up

EDIT ah sorry im high. if you mean sending 320s or whatever I just bounce a wav, import it back in then normalise.

I love keyboard shortcuts! I like how renoise is more keyboard oriented so I'm forced to do it the faster way.
And I will be using ctrl+D if I can remember to. Does that work for all Windows OS's? With Windows 7 I just click in the corner. Or alt+tab is fun. Or windows+tab (seems kinda Mac-ish ) And I use F2 to rename things. My friend was like you know you can just click like "this"....like "this".... (gives up after a few tries). /stupid anecdote

Something I've always wondered: How do you add gain/dB? Mathematically speaking. Not my strong suit, but eh.

[Sheff]

in FLs sequencer, how do you set the default to 8 beats?

and how to assign more than one instrument to a mixer channel? ive seen it done before

fair play, i've just read that thread through and applied its content to a new project i'm working on. it sounds better than my previous stuff already. this is definitely how i'm working from now on.

1) F11 > General > change beats to 8.

2) click an instrument/sampler in the block bit and put the number in the FX box in the top right to the channel you want it on the mixer.. Find the other instrument/sample you want and do the same number.

Once you've changed the beats to whatever, save it as a template so that you don't have to do it each time.

hey iv switched from FL 8 to FL 10 about a month ago & 1 thing thats bugging me is how 2 change the way to put the notes in piano roll.. its way too quantized, back on FL8 there was an option to change how i put the notes down. i know i can double click the note and then change the start point by selected the numbers but i preferred the old way!! i used 2 press 1 thing just to change from "bars" to "steps" and then i could b more flexible with my notes.. i hope any1 out there knows what im talkin about.
