Ten bad things about FL Studio

[Stupid American Pig]

The only bad part of FL studio is how most people think that their feature requests are more important than the scope and purpose of the app...

IAN B thanks for the tip, that should save me lots of time. I owe you. time=money

heres one...you can not w/ one caommand export all channels to wave. ie. if you use STYLUS RMX and place each part on a seperate midi channel, you have to export each, one at a time to wave.

You can. Assuming STYLUS has multiple outputs, enable that in the wrapper. Give STYLUS a fx channel, ie 1, then in STYLUS, send kick to output 1, snare to output 2, etc. Check on the FL mixer, each sound should have it's own mixer channel. When you export to wav, make sure the 'split mixer tracks' is ticked before you export to wav. If all's been done correctly, you'll have a seperate wav for each sound/mixer channel.

it's even better (but takes a little longer to set-up) to render through the mixer...just arm every mixer track you want to render like you would for audio recording and tell it where to save it...the hit alt r, or click the upper left corner of the mixer and select disk recording....this way works better because you can select what tracks you want rendered and you don't get a bunch of masters like you do with "split mixer tracks"

ahhh, long live FL

That's very true Hink, I was just pointing out the fact that it 'could' be done.

it wont label the mixer tracks for you...if you enabled the multi-outs for the pluggin it will just use the tracks after the first one you assigned...for instance if the pluggin is using 16 muti-outs and you assign the pluggin to mixer track 1 it will use tracks 1-16 (or how many outs you use) if it has a master then multi-outs like vsampler in the same case above the master would be track one, output 1 would be track two, output 2 would be track 3 ect....

...no proper multi time sig support....

What kind of instrument are you using?

If you're using a drumsynth (like E-Phonic's Drumatic) then usually there are notes already assigned for each hit. If you strum through the little keyboard on the Channel Settings window, you can find out what hits they are. Once you have enabled multi-outs each hit will show up in a different channel in the Mixer.

If you're using a different synth WITHOUT pre-assigned keyboard notes for each voice (like Rumpelrausch's Z-R3) then things are a little different. I remember trying it out on Faubrausch V2. In this case I used a seperate MIDI out plugin for each voice from the synth. Each voice will be assigned a seperate mixer channel, but this time the MIDI out plugin will activate the individual voices.

reread his post, he's talking about pluggins that have more than one output...not triggering...

i got it now, I never knew on STYLUS you could change the outputs...but it definitely does work
