thx for reply andy,
as for how to organize patterns in playlist i still find it difficult to
keep overview of the structure.
maybe good to use piano rolls only?
so 16bit is the max choice with FL?
another question,
when mixing at home or with headphones , do you rely on db meters?
and maybe more general, how do you apply compression, during the process
for single sounds or at the finish?
