In the playlist, I have my bassline pattern repeated several times, and duplicated my automation clip for each instance of the bassline pattern. The problem is the wubs get WAY faster for each automation clip.

Anyone? I still haven't been able to fix the problem.

To clarify: I have the formula controller set to basic sine LFO, and the speed knob is linked to the automation clip. The speed knob is controlling the cutoff frequency of the filter. I made the curve I wanted for the automation clip and got the wobble pattern I wanted. When I try to duplicate it by duplicating the curve I made for the automation clip, it doesn't sound the same for the duplicate. The wobbles are WAY WAY faster, like at least 5 times faster. I don't know how to describe my problem any more clearly. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Right try this delete the second formula controller then click the end of the first one and pull over to the right to make sure theres no automation that isnt visible. Longshot though

I'd use a peak controller if you want a basic sine, seems simpler. If you you have a bunch of bars that you like the sound of and don't want to fuck with the automation, just resample it. That's one of the reasons to resample (referencing a craze of convo around resampling around here, for some reason)

Also, it looks like you are cheezing up your automation. They are not lining up with your bassline structure and what not. It just looks like a mess. Clean slate and start again, see if the problem emerges again.

hey jacob i dont see why theres a need to use a formula controller... you can automate the cutoff freq and have a lot more freedom working with auto clips as you would actually see the lfo waveforms, change their rate, shape and everything. Maybe I am missing the reason why you choose to work like this...

Your automation lanes are over lapping. Maybe this is causing some issues?

What happens if you set the track to loop between the bit where it sounds good? when it goes back to the start does it sound good still?

what happens if you loop just the bit that sounds bad, does it play bad each time or does it keep changing?

My problem is with recording. I recorded guitar into audacity. When I play the guitar part in audacity it sounds really crisp. But when I export it to a .wav file and import it into SliceX, it sounds really muddied with a lot more background noise than I heard in audacity. Whats the best way to convert an audio recording from audacity, into FL9?

audacity doesnt render in amazing quality. i rendered a bass sound from audacity (which looked fine in there) but when I opened it in FL, the bitrate was way down and the waveform was really boxy

There's gotta be some way to make it so it doesn't export like that. Cause it sounds perfectly good in audacity, but just loses it when its exported. I'm gunna check out if theres some settings for export quality.

Why wouldn't you record in flstudio?

FL9 isn't recognizing my mic D=

hard times! Are you recording through like a laptop mic in or something?

what are your audio settings in FL9 when you're using a mic?

For me, whenever I change the audio settings, it just disables my speakers

For the benefit of other people.

Are you using a laptop?

What audio I/O are you using?

What driver for that I/O are you using?

When you launch audacity, what are your audio settings?

Which input does audacity record on?

Nah, I have a pretty decent Samson mic atm.

Desktop.
Primary Sound driver.
I'm not sure what the difference between audio i/o and my driver is.. So i think that might be the problem

I'm sure of it!

The audio i/o is the physical device that moves audio into and out of your computer. The drivers are the software that integrate the hardware into your system.

I'm assuming you are using your desktop's stock audio i/o. Like it has a little minijack 1/8th inch that you're pluging into?

If that is the case, use the asio4all driver that was included with flstudio. You will have much better audio performance with that driver, and you will be able to record audio in flstudio.

Do I remember correctly that you are using a crack of flstudio? I don't know if that includes the asio4all installation, but I bet it does. If it doesn't, asio4all is freely downloadable, just google it.

Once you have it installed, go to flstudio, in the upper menu, click options, audio, and in the first drop down select the asio4all driver.

I'm actually not using the stock audio driver. I have a pretty good sound driver, which I forget the name of atm (thanks again for the memory loss, marijuana ). Anyways, heres a pic of my audio settings, which one of those should i select?

Fluid bro, you have smoked too much!

Choose that Asio4All driver there at the bottom.

Hey guys. Potentially stupid question but i've been running out of effects slots on the master (fl 9) and am wondering if there's any way to expand this. Cheers in advance

thats cause u put too many on it...

should stay clean

(^me being a dick, while meaning it)

Just send everything to a submaster, then send that to the master.

Cheers Nowaysj. Just to clarify, you mean sending all used fx channels to the next unused one and sending from that to the master right? Sounds good!
