The FL Studio Q&A Thread

[RandoRando]

Ah fack -__- I thought that was always supposed to be checked on so as to...I don't know, prevent mass FL pandemonium? Stupid mistake, thanks guys! Good thing we have this handy little thread

i just switched the asio 4 all to a higher sampler rate n the whole project i was working on disapeered is there any way to get it back

I used to have it where I could edit automation clips by right-clicking to make a new point and selecting stuff like single curve, double curve, stairs, etc then it creates smooth curves between the points I made. Now it does this weird thing where I just drag the mouse around and it creates a shitload of points and it's really inaccurate and I can't make individual points. How do I fix this?

ummm, im not sure about automation clips. But i know native FL synths do this when editing envelopes in a synth when "step" is enables. try changing your snap in the playlist, and make sure automation clips are your focus and check out the settings/tools menus.

hey guys i wanted to know how to link a sample to the mixer in fl studio to apply EQs etc

at the moment i right click - link selected channel - to this track

which seems to do the job, however i dont seems to be able to link different tracks, it just seems to link one track all the time no matter what i click.

Could someone explain the process of EQing a sample if im doing it incorrectly? I assume you link to a mixer channel then apply a EQ to that channel?

However i cant get this linking a sample for a channel thing to work, thanks for any explanation, been trying to work it out forever!

Just go to the "Channel Settings" box and change the FX # to whichever you want it in the Mixer. You make it seem so hard with the right clicking and all.

Click on the box where the name of the sample is, and up in the right corner you assign it to a mixer channel

I never got why remove conflicts was autochecked. was so excited the day I finally unchecked it and realised what it does.

Does anyone know if FL 8 has a saturation plugin? I know Ableton has a saturator, but I cannot find it in FL. Now I usually just use a FL Limiter, which has a saturation knob. So the limiter itself does nothing exept adding saturation. But that seems like it's a bit of a cheap way to do it.

fl waveshaper ? not really sure of what saturation really does. isnt it light distortion?

Pretty sure. maybe some compression aswell?

Thanks to the both of you =). I will look into it

If you want what I think you want, you can use Fruity Limiter. It has a saturation feature.

how do you use a plgin preset affect so it dosnt affect the whole song just an area of the pattern

how is it affecting the whole song? are you putting fx on the master?

oh wait, i think i get what your saying.

see the little green dot in the fx rack next to each one, thats essentially on and off button for that fx.

right click it and create a automation clip for it, in playlist just put it at 100% where you want it to be on and 0% when you want that fx to be off.

Did you guys know about this?

The example of it is in the picture at the top of the page.

I knew, lol

Son deciding to read the manual of FL was a good idea. This is amazing.
