For the truly lazy, I've made a keyboard mouse app that allows you to use an assignable key to drag and drop file (press key over file to pick up, drag to destination, press again to drop file)

... Beats the added carpal tunnel you get from click click clicking all the time..

not to mention, the ability to load it as a vst is brilliant...i recently purchased renoise the arranger in renoise can be a bit of a bitch sometimes so i just load up FL as an instrument in renoise, use renoise's 'render selection to sample' and load and arrange my tracks in FL. i love the open-ness of FL's playlist! so easy to experiment with different arrangements....renoise and FL make quite a team

now, if only renoise could export waves outside of the rar'd renoise song folder so i could easily access it in FL or any other sampler!

kaneel's movie about render selection to sample is pretty funny too (if you saw it). that's one of the hottest features in renoise (of many). good idea working them tag-team like that. it's really a great time to be an audio geek

edison is fantastic! +1

So help me out here, because I'm coming from Reason, and I'm just lost at sea with FL Studio. Why is it so bloody hard to understand? I can see glimpses of tremendous power under the hood, but I've spent a week and I still don't feel like I understand the basic tasks ('how to compose', 'how to mix', etc) that are so easy for me in Reason. Is there a "right place" to start?

ah yes...the problem with moving to fl studio then becomes that you must shift to thinking of melodies, riffs and sequences as being individual patterns... you have to make a pattern and then place it in the playlist.

You'll notice the playlist has all these patterns listed on the left and as you click different ones - it will bring up corresponding patterns in the step sequencer. FL studio is really two sequencers in one... a mini step sequencer where you create the patterns and a playlist where you sequence your patterns.

That's what gives you such power in fl studio. Instead of having to manually copy and paste your favorite areas of a track or an instrument riffing combination to have it repeat later on in the song you just make it as a pattern and then place the pattern anywhere you want in the playlist...genious!

You just have to get used to the layout of placing patterns in the playlist. Open up a demo song and look at individual patterns and you should notice that the length of the pattern as it appears in the playlist corresponds exactly with how long the pattern is in the step sequencer. The playlist is essentially a zoomed out view of the actual song where you can't see the notes but you can view the length of the patterns...

you may want to think of it as being a...
MODULAR SEQUENCER
whereas in reason you can only organize your melodies in a linear fashion...

I don't know what i pressed a few months ago, but all the stupid folders in the browser that i didn't want- FL's "Projects", "Packs", "Recorded", "Rendered", "Misc", "Soundfonts", "Speech" etc. disappeared!

Instead, the only folders the browser showed were my external links- My own Samples and Projects directory,
and the folders that i actually used...

If someone could tell me how to reproduce this, i would be extremely happy- I know the browser is customizable, i just don't know how! I know i could probably delete them but they'd just appear again when i re-install the next version

Thanks- great tips here.

hint: you can drag/drop stuff on the browser as well.

Say you have a sample loaded in your channel, and you want to browse other samples in the same directory. You drag/drop your sample from the sample view onto the browser, and it will search for it. If it couldn't be found, it will add a sample search path to its folder, and jump to it. Or if you have something in your explorer and want the browser to show it, just drag/drop it.

I was hoping there was a way to create a dragable reset for an individual mixers insert

there are mixer track presets as well

You set their visibility using nfo files. Any folder can have visibility, colour and possibly other browser aspects controlled by a nfo file with the same name as the folder placed in the same path.

so..

folder: FL Studio 7\Data\Patches\Automation
nfo: FL Studio 7\Data\Patches\Automation.nfo

This applies to any folder anywhere, so if you add an extra folder and don't want it to be green just plunk an nfo with that folder with the correct commands.

The three command I know about

ColIndex=n
Visible=True/False

and

' highlight this subdir

which doesn't seem to do much of anything. Hope that helps.

Thanks

... But i'm pretty sure i managed to do this without f**king around with .nfo files- it was just a matter of clicking somewhere/something on the browser...

will investigate the nfo's tho. Or just delete all the shit i dont want

Here's a tip for FL I discovered recently. Say you made a bunch of patterns for an arpeggio and were too busy being creative to name them all accordingy. You can hold down the Ctrl key and select multiple patterns, then hold Shift and click on the selection. You can then type "Arpeggio" in the box to 'name the group', choose a colour if you wish and it names them:

Arpeggio
Arpeggio #2
Arpeggio #3
Arpeggio #4
...

and so on.
