But just to get this straight:

You can do all sorts of time-signatures/time-signature changes with any host.

If the sequencer 'supports' it it mainly helps to visualize in a better way what you are doing.

I agree with this, but visualization is very important!!!!

Press F11
Click on General
Alter the timesettings as shown in this picture:

At least it is that way it is ment to be.

thanks, but already been there. Doesnt solve the multiple time sig issue

Would be nice if the markers on the playlist could also change the signature too. (i.e., a bit like Tracktion, which I always thought was a nice implementation, you could drag the markers (and the signature) around... eXT has similar functionality.)

right on..

Well, if I were doing a piece that mixed different time sigs...in FL...I'd create each bit separately, render it, and stitch them together in Sound Forge.

But I am terribly lazy.

actually that sounds like much more work for me

All of you shut up and listen : just do one loop of whatever meter u want in the pianoroll
then paint that loop in the playlist using playlist quantize set to NONE.

voila there u go

of course it is - never would deny that.

Call me silly but I was always impressed with Phillip Glass's time signature madness, often having 2-3 different time signatures being played at the same time

i agree, polyryhtyms and stuff are cool -- i like them changing and morphing -- but you still are silly.

What do you mean about sonar? I find changing time sigs in sonar to be downright painless.

Sonar's time signatures are still kind of buggy. The marker always wants to snap to 4/4 (not a big deal,) and I have to reset the time signature whenever I copy and paste something. Using multiple time signatures is hit and miss too, because sometimes the time signature will revert to 4/4 (although this could be user error... I haven't figured it out yet.) Sonar does handle them nicely in general, though, it's just a little buggy.

I'm also using Sonar LE and Cakewalk Home Studio 2, so those issues may've been fixed in future versions of Sonar. I don't know, but that's my experience.

The beats that FLstudio cannot handle.
