fuck dix. what is up with music software companies nowadays. it just seems that every single program i use has gone to shit the last few years.
5 years ago i was able to launch like 8 instances of absynth in fruity loops 7 without my pc chocking. right now in fruity 10 i add like one instance of any new NI product and it just goes wargll argbl. wtf.
and don't get me started on fl studio. fuck. 10 versions in this software sux dix so much it creates black holes. how in the fuck are half of the controls in the software non-undoable ? christ how. you turn a knob, it changes it's sound completely and hey - your great sounding pads are TOAST you hear me. no undo. because FUCK YOU. there is also no way of manually typing in values so you can sit two hours trying to move your mouse half a milimeter just to find the right one.
oh and don't get me started on using samples. you wanna know how to destroy a track a dozen hours in ? i'll tell ya :
take a sample and stretch it to the grid so it loops seemlessly in your arrangement. keep in mind that the sample is now stretched by some factor which you don't now. oh and use a very long sample for ADDITIONAL KIX. now make your awesome track for a few days. make it really cool. and now the hit - turn "snap" to "none" and accidently restretch the sample by a few milimeters.
WOAAAAHHH - the sample resamples it's speed now and eeeevery piece of it is now out of tune, sync, fuck, everything. of course - YOU CAN'T UNDO. BECAUSE WHY WOULD YOU. now you could just turn snap on and stretch it back to grid BUT IT DOESN'T SNAP TO GRID BECAUSE THE AMOUNT YOU RESTRETCHED IS TO SMALL AND IT EITHER UNDER OR OVERSNAPS THE GODDAMN GRID.
yeah okay so you just turn snap off again and try to manually on full zoom stretch it back to grid but fuck EVERY goddamn time you move your mouse HALF A FUCKIN MILIMETER it resamples the sample which takes goddamn ages if you have a few minutes one i kid you not.
yup. also since 7 fruity loops randomly derps out completely, and

sometimes - oh yes sometimes - when you have a too big track with lots of shits going on it just hangs up your fucking pc 2 out of 3 times at export.
okay i could just freeze the channels but goes what - NO FUCKIN FREEZE. right. whoever would use that. you can however record your track to a sample which takes as much time as the track lasts and i better hope for you the latency doesn't pop or you have JUST A FUCKIN STAIN IN YOUR FUCKIN SAMPLE.
god shit i will just rewire that shit up into ableton and manually record each track into it for fucks sake.
don't get me started on ableton. how can you in 2012 not have exponential envelopes is a fuckin miracle. and DAT cpu hogging. are you kidding me ? what the hell does it do with those samples ? deep fry it ?
goddamn shit fuck

nah j/k bro, but seriously: why FL10 ? last time FL8 crashed I found working version of FL5. haven't been happier ever since.
maybe try coming back to old, stable versions, not overfilled with crap unneccesary add-ons
hope your pc stays healthy for the weekend

it sure will because i'm going to get butt-wasted from friday till sunday and not touch it at all. that's why i was intensively trying to finish my remixes for melack this week.
yeah i actually thought about that. i remember having the best time with fruity 5 and made probably most of my tracks with it. stable as fuck idd. although still that sample stretching thing i mentioned above.
srsly i thing i will even go so far as to reinstall windows xp as windows 7 hates me so much and my audio interface as well.

well half a year ago i was like "shiat i'll never drop xp" because i never believed in 7 after the vista fiasco. but actually after using it intensively at work i kind of got used to it.
i gave it a go and made a few benchmarks and actually both my laptop (core 2 duo) and my desktop pc (amd x2) and it actually performed better on both even with only 2 gb of ram on both. so that got me convinced.
but it has it's flaws. there are a few small quirky but important programs that won't work, got problems with legacy hardware (graphics on my laptop, audio interface on my desktop) and the occasional crap outs and bsods. i think in the late days windows xp sp3 never bsoded when not asked too for me.

go back to a previous version.
go back to when it all worked, get yourself happy again, so you can make your music. and send back the newer versions and get y money back. make a polite video of your problem and send that to them.
do not struggle anymore .

well to be happy again i would have to go back to around 2002, be excited about drukqs, smoke weed, have a 1,73 ghz centrino, fruity 3.56 and a sample pack i got from my teacher (which - btw is one thing i'm depressed THE MOST in life - i lost this sample pack a few years ago and i cannot finnish ANY of my tracks from around before 2005. lost forever.)

Shit like this was the reason I abandoned floops. Reason all the way for me these days (till Ohm Studio is up and running, at least).

tried reason several times. was appaled by the sequencer. although when it comes to performance it's ridiculous. on my intel atom netbook maybe one of all those demo tracks craps out.
now that you can use samples and soon third party plugins and with the overhauled sequencer i in fact might five it a go i guess.

you got so many bad things going on you cant focus on any for long enough to sort them out propperly.
just think it is going to take time , but in a few weeks you could be sorted , and when you get there you'll appreciate it 50 times more cause you been through so much sht.
write down each problem to stop it buzzing in your head.
then put the best solution next to it, and then figure the time it will take to fix as many of the problems you can.
as for computer stuff...i still use a copy of aftereffects from something like 2002. afx 5.5 it f*ing works. and that means i can work. it isnt quad friendly but its definatley my fave for video. i use old versions of audio sequencers too.
as for samples? your sequencer should list what is missing . just dl the samples off a torry site and use them until you can replace the original disks. if you point your sequencer in the direction of a folder it will search for the missing files. you wont have to do that much.
i had a bomb go off in my head last week. it aint nice. just try to sort as much as you can ...as for the bits you cant ...fk it. do not care about it. unless you think there is a way ...then aim to fix if you really think its worth the time.
fweqy : )

come to Jelonka, they have good pierogis in bar Kubu¶, then we can have a beer or several at bar Ma³gosia or better at Bar Nad Bobrem: they brought the benches and tables out already, there's one hell of a view on the river and mountains

reason ftw. I don't use 6 tho, only 5. I have it rewired to reaper, helps with the sampling/sequencing issues.

from the way you're discussing working with loops i'd suggest checking out ableton - it's a pretty swift jump from fl, and it's mounds easier.
or if you really wanna stick it to the big guys, keep an eye out for the new, open source bitwig studio - it's built a few ex-abletoners, with the aim for fixing all the shit people complain about in ableton.
