Thanks, Dazza. I haven't made it through all the tutorials yet but think I'll skip ahead to this one and check it out. I think you can automate mixer controls even if you have the instrument routed the normal way (in the sequencer) - assuming of course you have the track routed to a mixer channel. In my previous post I mentioned putting a VST-midi effect inline before the instrument in the mixer...you might want to try this out. As far as I know, this can't be done with the instrument inserted in the normal way so I guess that's one advantage.Dazza66 wrote: I checked this technique out again and I actually got it from one of the tutorial files that come with FLS. Have a look in the tutorial file called "VST and DX instruments.flp". It explains the technique, but isn't really clear on the advantages of this method: "(adding instruments as a Channel) isn't as powerful as using the 'effect' version of the wrapper".Doesn't really explain it does it? It does mention something about automation though - could that be an advantage in as much as you can automate the mixer controls for a given instrument?
No 'thread-hijacking' intended - hey, we're all talking good stuff about FLS after all!
