RAS.. :love: :clap:
Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.

Sorry I am a little confused, here is how I record Audio...4 clicks?

Man, you are a saint.

I am not a fan of FL, but I always follow these threads seeing how you guys interact with people. Other companies could learn a lot from your public relations.
I'm not sure if you are being serious or not.

@Subject I mentioned: If you have to be totally literal, I guess. But that isn't the only steps needed to be able to assign/mix audio.

You cannot record different things to different tracks. If you record audio in FL it's a jumbled mess. You now have to:

-sort the clips
-individually assign proper mixer channels to EACH clip

Also, if you use an amp sim you have two choices: Record dry and assign or record the amp sim with the audio clips. Not good.

Anyways, FL studio is a really nice product for midi. And with a little work it records audio well, but it's misleading to say "in 4 clicks".

but there are other preferences in audio handling besides just the actual recording, for instance the take manager and revolver tracks in samp pro x2. For many when doing loop record in FL recording each take to a track is fine, samp just stacks them keeping only the current one visible while recording. To access them one simply uses the the take manager which can also be used fro track comping (I do not care for comping tbh) and revolver tracks are really just a way to save each stack of track and gain access to them and it's all right there. Also auto-punch is a snap in Samp as is multi-point auto-punch which for me is more suited toward my workflow. Any DAW can add comparisonics but Samp is one that chooses to do so and I love it for editing precision.

None of this is a dig at FL, this month I have spent far more time in FL than Samp. FL has this ability to help me be far more midi creative and create songs for me to record guitar parts for which is thing, but when it comes to recording that audio I find Samp to far more straight forward for my needs. Like I say it's not FL it's me :shrug:

In around a month...make it 6 weeks.

Does sytrus vst still crash all the time ?
Maybe update that first instead of the gui .
I am pretty sure the porting has something to do with it .
If you are having crashes, why are you not reporting them in Techsupport and working with us to fix them?

But first, make sure you are using the latest version 2.6.85

I really don't know what you mean, here's 8 Tracks. The clips are not jumbled. No sorting



No it's not auto-assigned, but its no problem either.

FWIW: FL Studio 13 will allow you to automate track (Playlist and Mixer assignment).

First off I want to make it clear that I appreciate your continued help and I learn something every time.

Let's say you want to record guitar. We already know how to do that (the 4 click vid). Let's say you want to loop record a part. It's not assigned to a track, so now you have 4 parts with no track assignment. AFAIK, you cannot assign those all to ONE track. You have to assign each of the 4 tracks separately, am I right?

And as an additional issue, if the input track for your guitar has an amp sim, the sim is recorded but effects on a send are not. So not only can you NOT change the amp sim, you have to redo any/all send fx. I'm sure with patcher or whatnot you can work around this.

It's not the end of the world but here is the most realistic scenario for audio recording regardless of host:

-select input on track
-record

At this time I hesitate to make feature "requests" because I want to make sure I understand the program more. However, the manual clearly states that this is not currently possible.

I'm being 100% serious.

Only one other major DAW company has someone that goes around and chats with users, helps them out outside normal support channels and is generally a decent fellow despite the shit they have to put up with.

I wish every company had someone like that.

Ok, sorry. ^^^

Does anyone know where to get all the old FL demo songs?

First off you can assign a group of selected tracks to a single track, 'Link selected channels to this track'. Watch my last video and see the option above the one I used, the keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+L.

Second. A little light manual reading or a few questions in Looptalk goes a long way. FL Studio routes any recorded Audio Clip to the same Mixer track the INPUT Mixer Channel was routed to (which is why most Audio Clips end up routed to the Master, but it doesn't have to be that way). So, here is a loop-recording guitar workflow: I am Loop-recording a guitar DRY into Track 26, it's feeding track 25 with all the FX for monitoring/playback. All recorded Audio Clips then end up auto-routed to track 25...all very straightforward...



PS: This is the sort of support we provide on Looptalk every day.

The problem it is a lose-lose situation for the companies. People are frustrated I suppose, because most companies are so aloof and impenetrable. When someone does show up, all the angst and frustration seems to pour out. Then also there is just about nothing a rep can say that doesn't incense someone and confirm prejudices.

Then the rep becomes a lightning rod for the trolls and those with problems and issues (many of who are pirates anyway) and those with axes to grind and 1/2 full glasses.

Why am I here then?, Iron sharpens iron, it's useful to answer the critics, sometimes we even learn things ;)

Something I do see a lot is that people don't really want answers and best practice (as designed) workflows, they just want to complain FL Studio doesn't work like Ableton, Logic or Protools and to let you know for that reason FL Studio sucks.

I see the video and that is what I want as an end result. I'm missing a step.

As far as "light reading" in the manual, I read it quit a bit. Currently I just get a different clip not assigned to the track, it's has to be done manually one by one.

Tomorrow is another day, will be ready to tackle it again.

So... you have the crown for "VST didn't work for me but I bought it anyway and it turned out it didn't work all the same. So it sucks!!"? :shrug:

You just need to make sure the INPUT Mixer track is routed to the Mixer track you want the recorded Audio Clips to end up on. Audio Clips end up routed to the Parent tracks destination.

Ctrl+L or Ctrl+Shift+L mean you never have to do anything one-by-one.
