the OFFICIAL Fruity Loops / FL Studio thread

[FruityLoopsPro]

whattup peoples,

Fruity Loops / FL Studio is an ill program for making hip-hop and rnb music. I've been using it since version 3 (it's now up to version 6) and I couldn't be happier with it. Everybody knows 9th Wonder uses Fruity Loops but a LOT of up and coming producers such as Khysis and P Midi also use this great program

if you'd like to see a video of someone recreating a Jay-Z / DJ Premier song using Fruity Loops, then peep this link;

Umm. welcome to the forum, I guess. Less spam, more mayo, please.

[FruityLoopsPro]

do u use FL too bro or are you just popping sh*t?

[Change of POETS]

I have FL Studio. I use it. But you still don't need to introduce yourself to our forum with the "Buy my software" spam that you did. A lot of cats here use it, so we welcome you as someone who can help us... but please don't make your inclusion in this forum about making sales. We don't appreciate spam.

we've been usin FL since I can remember. Honestly it's been the smoothest workflow for us, and every beat we've made has come out of it. www.soudnclick.com/quad5trio (full tracks) www.soundclick.com/iceskates (beats). If anyone has questions, PMs are good.

I got a question for you, fam.

Is there an automated way of finding the tempo of a sample or loop, in FL?

I've always done it manually, adjusting the tempo until I can get it to loop correctly... Is there an easier way to do that?

yeah, there is a way detecting the tempo. load the sample into a channel, right click on the visual of the sample and select "detect tempo" and it will run through a wizard to help you detect the tempo.

you can peep that Jay Z beat remake at about the 4:30 mark to see this done via screen capture

Dope. Good looks on that.

I just recently purchased fl studio 6 producer. It is a real bitch to get the hang of at first, but I am starting to see the potential. i just released my 3rd album "Acousticide" and I wish I had this when i was doing it. This is going to enhance my rock style perfectly and add some more groovy beats and interesting sounds. i have always used the Alesis SR-16, but I am hoping I can use the Midi out to program the fruity drums?? I am a solo acoustic performer and i can use this to record background tracks when i gig. here is a cool tutorial site I found that helped me a lot.

I guess the recommendation is to recorded the timed stuff on FL and export it to another recording program. i am assuming it would also be alright to do that and then put a semi-finished mix back into FL to add some sound and non time-essential stuff, and then put it all back into a program. There's a lot more to knw so I will check back.

I love usin fruity loops. It's a great program. The only thing i don't like is when i hear stuff like "Lean wit it walk wit it." It took them like 5 mins to make that beat and they probably got paid good for it. I've combined fruity loops with my own samples plus midi and i've created some awesome music. There's alot of versatility when you really know what your doing with it. I find out new ways to do things every day. Remember, experimentation it key. I made a beat on there one time that somebody thought was a live band. Soundfonts!!!!
