  1. Im not sure if this is what you mean so this might seem ovious to you. However you have to assign each midi track to the VST instruments. Its not enough to just open a vst instrument. This is done in the pop out lists on the list on the left of the track screen. Where it says midi one or whatever. Scroll down the list and click on tyhe VST instrument you have opened. Then the midi will play the vst instrument and the audio will show up in the track mixer listed under the name of the vst instrument where you can put effects on it. It will also show the midi signal so make sure you dont try and put effects on that ! As for exporting waves, just export or save as stereo interleaved but isnt generally necessary unless you want to save processing power. hope this helps !

  2. Youll have to input into the effect via the effect auxilliary send and return and output the return into its own seperate audio channel. This channel youll have assign to its own output of the delta card into the desk.

     

    More simple

     

    synth > delta input > effects send out (auxilliary) in cubase > effect > effects send return > own seperate mixer channel in cubase > assign to out put on delta card> out of delta card to own channel on mixing desk

  3. Yes.

    FL uses 32 bit processing. In my opinion it has a better audio engine and sound than Protools, or Cubase and I use all of them (cept logic). However the way to do it is export the entire song length waves as seperate wavs (split mixer tracks in export section of FL) then import them into a wave editor like Pro tools, cubase, logic or acipro4 for the final mixdown and then you can cut and paste, sort out the EQ, add more effects ect. Acidpro4 works well for this.

  4. Fruity loops is king ! It has an amazing sound and is very versatile.

    Ableton live is rated for live use but I aint used it much.

    Protools is the professional standard multitrack but youll need to buy an mbox soundcard to get it if you use xp , a worthwhile investment if you want to go pro ! £279 :

    acid pro4 is a cheap and good alternative if you dont want to fork out for an mbox.

     

    Cubase is the king of midi and has versatile audio editing facilities

    Cool edit pro (now called adobe audition) is good because it uses a 32bit float

     

    Waves plugins are excellent as are Native instruments

     

    Max msp and reactor are good if you want to get nerdy and create your own programs.

    Supercollider is the ultimate for meganerds but is a script based program but worth getting into for the long term, though its hard work and make take years to master.

     

    Basically if youve got a good soundcard (ie 24 bit 96 khz sample rate) and a good mic you can sample enviromental sounds and introduce not computer elements into the digital realm and get some interesting results, thus widening your sound sources to just about anything, a worthwhile investment if youre going to really get into it.

    Basically hardware synths are just a little computers in boxes so if you get a midi controller keyboard like this one :

    you can get some equally good effects. a pair of monitor speakers is also a worthwhile investment.

    Igood luck !

  5. The reason to use flat bed monitor speakers is :

     

    They do not colour the sound.

    they do not add or remove frequencies.

    for example, if your speakers add a lot of bass and you make a track on them, you will find that when you play the track back on normal speakers that do not do this there will be less bass. So basically monitor speakers are neutral . The more neutral (the flatter the frequency response is) they are the more expensive they are. They are very important if you want good sound quality though you dont need to spend the earth, good results are obtainable on bottom end monitors like Yamaha nS10s or Spirit absolutes.

    However even with monitor speakers you need to listen to your track on as many speakers as possible including shyt ones so you know the overall sound is like and you will eventually get to know how your speakers "sound" in relation to others.

  6. Hi there!

    Sorry man those registration things are just too irritating to do. Try and find a site that doesnt need all that bull. I ll try and give em a listen later when ive got more time. I cant stand thpose internet forms.; :ph34r:

  7. There are a gazillion sites where you can have your own mp3 page but most of them require the listeners to register as well.

    I liked soundclick.com

    Thanks, I guess Im thinking of the more proffesional ones where people can buy stuff than purely amateur ones (I heard Cytonia was good). One that people might actually listen to and has some sort of quality control. I remember MP3.com was a nightmare because you havre to wade through hours of crap before you get to something good quality. Anyone got any other recommendations, perhaps somewhere with a good reputation ?

  8. I've been told my music sounds GOA  Im still not

    sure what goa is but see for you self

    I know what you mean, bt if you think about it evey single piece of your favourite music was created by someone who started off as an amateur. Often very talented people do not have the money or the connections to release their stuff ;) Though I believe eventually theyll get picked up.
