U don't. That was a suggestion. You record it just like any midi track, 16 pads at once if you want using your prefered sequencer and sampler

I reccomend recording slow (75 bpm or slower for hip hop) and speed it up later
 
yeah but with FL 5 i only know how to record drums and snares etc. at seperate times, i need to know how to record both at the same time for a good sequence

if i cant record at the same time, then how can i make a sequence that lines up with the drums
 
not sure if I get totally what you mean, but here's my suggestion:

1 - Practice your control with the fingers on pressing different buttons at the same time.

2 - Use the metronome in fruity loops to help

3 - quantize the stuff (hope I'm giving you the right suggestion of the use of quantize)
 
Alright, I'm gonna break it down for you guys as basic as I can get,


With my Trigger Finger, I know how to do drums and snares seperately:
So I can do...
Drum..........Drum..........Drum..........Drum

Then I have to do snares to be able to match up with it, which I have to do seperately so it doesnt come out perfect, so it looks like this...

Drum..........Drum..........Drum..........Drum
............Snare....Snare...............Snare........Snare

See how they're not all lined up, It's very hard to make them timed well together if I record them seperately, if I played that they would sound off, now if I could play them together, and have both Drums and Snares on different pads recording at the same time I could get them prefect like this...

Drum..........Drum..........Drum..........Drum
........Snare.........Snare.........Snare.........Snare

See I want them like this^, so that they sound perfect and on time with each other, if there is no way for me to be able to play drums and snares together, then how can I play them so that I can make em timed perfect with each other?

I hope this helps anyone to help me...
 
Ok now i get it.

Like it was mentioned above,Play to the metronome.Its the thing that beeps when you record your music.Look in the manual and it will tell you how to turn it on.

The second thing is the quantize,Its the button that puts all your messups in line.But its cant do miracles,if you are way off :D

Hope that helps.
