Hey Cheers Andy, I'll sort the upgrade out. So you mix each part in itself and you can't hear them play alltogther unless you sequence them again in n track ? I'd like to hear from the other guys on the list as well. How do YOU mix ?

Been messing with Fruity since I got here, which was end 2000 ... I know a fair bit (or so I'd like to think) and I'm sure I'll learn tons more of this list. Good to meet you bunch ! Good to have you on the list Franz. > Question :... First I want to know about mixing in Fruity 3.55. Tell me everything you know ! Obviously there is no mixer (I read about Fruity 4 having one), so with what do I mix ? An vst (or dx) plugin or a standalone software mixing program ? How do YOU mix ? First up, is there any reason why you haven't upgraded to version 3.56 which solves a few issues and updates simsynth live, drumsynth live and the sound font player. As fruity does not have a proper mixer, I tend to spread all my channels over the 16 FX channels and put a Fruity Send plugin (and maybe a Fruity dB meter if I have space) in the last effects slot. It is a lot more convenient to adjust volume here since adjusting the channel volume can have unwanted side effects on volume sensitive effects such as compression. I understand that fruityloops 4.0 (due out around the end of the year) will have a proper mixer in the list of many enhancements. Another option is to export the 16 FX channels as separate wav files and mix them in another application such as n-track studio. I like working this way as I can see the waveform display for each track which can aid in the mixing process, also automation of parameters such as volume is a lot more visual. hope that helps, Andy --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
