fruityloops question

so, i got a question for the ones who use fl. when i make
a song, and i have a long sample, how do you put it into
your song?
i mean i try it in two ways:
- i put it into the fruity slicer, but if i have a sample
like for example a vocal or string part, it sounds really
choppy.
- i change the pitch, trying to change the length of the
sample. but this way is not accurate enough.

so, how do you do it? do you use any sampler or something?

thanks for your help !

if it's choppy it sounds like your soundcard is poo, or in
the options you need to check "use hardware buffer"

Maybe it's choppy because he put it in the slicer.

I was just thinking that.

I don't really get what you mean sadist, put it into a
song...? It sounds like you know how...

Need more details to determine that...

just import it into the folder with all of the other
samples, drag the sound onto one of the sample sequence
things, add the first box on the sequencer for that sample,
and it should play every time the sequence goes by that
part. then just adjust the bpms and pattern length so it
loops like you want it to..

of the whole song.... around the sample.
or you can do the little scrolly thing that says "fit" and
stretch it to the desired length, which will give you the
pitched up or down sound you were talking about....

But, if you open the sample in a granulizer channel and to
the "fit to" it should give you much better results.

But yes, otherwise, just adjust the tempo of you song to fit
the samples original tempo.

"stretch it up to the desired lenght" - there's no option
like this !!

in the 'Channel Settings' window, above the sample's
waveform there is a 'Fit' box... scroll the number until it
reaches the length u want. 1 unit = 1 semiquaver/1block on
the step-sequencer/piano roll.

uhh yes there is the thing that says 140bpm with up and down
arrows next to it. that's the bpom. you can change it.

the bpm is for the whole song isn't it ?? but i don't want
to change the bpm of the song !! fuck i just want to change
the bpm of the freakin sample...

okay, i try to describe it more.
i have a sample that lasts about 30 seconds... it's an
ambient song from my friend.

now i wanna remix it, adding a drumloop.

so, if i had acid, i would put it into one track, acid would
define the speed for itself with the built in bpm counter,
then the drum loop on the second track.

but i don;t have acid, and i want to make everything in
fruity loops.

but there isn't anything like the bpm counter in fruity,
that change's the lenght of ALL samples to one or more
pattern lenght's

now, is the only way to make this in fruity change the pitch
or change the whole song bpm correct ??????????

yes. you'd have to set the songs bpms so the sample would
fit in the loop exactly and repeat each time.

maybe there's some other thing you could do.. but i'm
unaware of any other ways.. but adjusting the songs bpms and
pattern lengths should work fine.

don't samplers like kontakt or reaktor fit the sample ?

man, you can just do the "fit" thing, but that'll change the
pitch of the sample too. Or you can use the granuliser, but
I'm not gonna explain that it'd take forever. just make the
slice speed or wave speed ro whatever it's called (top row
of knobs, on the right). it's set to 100% by defauly,
changfe them to change the length.

also the pitch way of fitting the sample is *NOT*
inaccurate. You just have to learn how to use it. It's 100%
accurate.

Sadist, I used to rock FL. Now I rock with Logic & Reactor.
And that`s damn cool stuff!!! No sampler problems.. I never
regreted uninstalling FL!!!
If you don`t believe me, I hope to add my AEremixes &
AFXremixes to xltronic.com (with permission of Phobiazero,
of course).
So check it out soon! And pay attention to quality and
such..

Sadist....
You want to put an entire ambient track into fruity, as one
big wav file?

That's probably the weirdest way of doing a remix I've ever
heard.

Why not cut the parts of the ambient section up and drop it
into fruity? If its not a "loop" , ie, meant to be looped,
it wont do what you want. Your best bet would be to cut the
interesting parts up of the song , or get individual tracks
from your friend , so you have the instruments separated.
