you saw the CPU usage @ 27 too, damn looks like a hefty
program

FL has never pushed my CPU usage beyond maybe... 4 or 5.

heres a partial list of other improvements which will
hopefully finally squash the haters as they are clearly
geared towards taking on the majors of the software game.

64 FX tracks
New "Piano Roll" playlist style, showing the accurate
pattern lengths
Patterns can start at any time (not aligned to bars anymore)

Now supports custom grid length for each individual pattern

New Live Mode for live performances and quick tests
New Cut & Paint tools are available in the Playlist and
Piano Roll windows
The Fruityslicer now autoslices all beats without the need
for BeatSlicer
Usable as DXi client (usable in Sonar)
Dashboard (allows you to design & draw your own internal &
midi controllers)
Boobass (realistic Fender Bass simulator)
Wave Traveller (tool that allows you to 'travel' through
wave files using a
spline based path)
Updated Beepmap
Support for multiout VSTi plugins (generators only)

Damn you Blatant---all I have to do is add some reverb to a
simple soundfont, and my CPU usage rockets to over 100...
certainly takes the fun out of making music---I meant,
certainly means making music is an "interesting challenge"

He he- I was about to say the same thing- cue people making
flp files with 10mb wavs in them where only tiny extracts
are used :)

Weaklingchild: Pro Tools is pretty expensive (apart from
that limited free version you can get for the PC). Besides,
Floops is good for IDM.

That's what I do, but it disrupts the creative
process...plus, when you make a wav file from a flp file,
and then insert it into a track, the quality has
deterioated, plus it's quieter, and fucks up all the
levels--but that's OK just to preview.

64 FX tracks

Goody!

Patterns can start at any time (not aligned to bars
anymore)


I hope there's a "snap to bar" mode so we can do it old
style if we like?

New Live Mode for live performances and quick tests

Any chance of some Ableton Live style assigning of keys to
samples etc.?

The Fruityslicer now autoslices all beats without the
need
for BeatSlicer


Can we still do it manually if we like/the slices are
innacurate?

Dashboard (allows you to design & draw your own internal
&
midi controllers)


Yay- now I can make on screen front ends to match my card
overlays on my Phat boy!

Boobass (realistic Fender Bass simulator)

That'll be nice- better than VB-1 I hope...

Finally... Any chance of there being a boxed copy you can
buy whereby they'll mail you CDs of all future versions
(like lifetime upgrade on online registered copy)?

Did you notice that the new FX channels have 8 FX slots
rather than 4 as well? :)

wow... Things have changed in the 2 years I've been away
from the program. It looks like SO much more functionality
has been added. But seriouly people, it's a GUI mess.

Cubase SX is where it's at!

Not bashing FL at all. I know plenty o folk who use it and
make kickin tracks.
I just like SX better.


 

offline marlowe from Antarctica on 2003-02-11 09:39 [#00551002]
Points: 24596 Status: Regular



Damn, it don't matter to me if it has more FX slots, since
if I use 6 on one channel, then a) I can't have more than
one channel per FLP file, and b) my computer is liable to
turn my polished loop into a glitchy, horrendous piece of
noise. :( Oh woe is me, oh woe!

Nothing worse than having to render your track each time you
edit it to check it sounds like you imagine it to, eh?

Points: 24596 Status: Regular | Followup to Ceri JC: #00551010



What I'm forced to do is to construct the track in the
CoolEdit Pro sequencer, and make flp files consisting of one
channel--it REALLY inhibits the flow of the creative juices:
it ends up being complicated and laborious--oh bring me the
joys of good RAM!! 64MB is lamentable! Plus, since it's so
time-consuming, I end up being less inventive than I wish,
which really pisses me off :(

I know what you mean- having to render each channel as a
seperate wav then mix all of them together...

Even on really powerful PCs you'd still need to do this with
20 instances of Absynth, etc. ;)

Points: 24596 Status: Regular | Followup to Ceri JC: #00551022



an example of how shit my PC is--I can barely handle ONE
Absynth channel (and that's with NO FX)...that's one of the
reasons I use soundfonts a lot...most of them aren't too
large, and I can add a few FX before my CPU starts throwing
tantrums. :D Softsynths are mostly a no-no, which is a
shame, cos I got some great ones too :(

getting another 64mb for it?
