Well FL doesnt work on a mac, so if you wanna stick with that then you gotta go PC

All that says is they are working on coding for getting FL to work on a mac. They still need to finalize that coding, get it cleared by all companies involved, then release a version of FL to the public. This could take month's, if not years.

As it stands right now today, FL studio is not compatible with a mac.

You Guys are legends!!

Before reading this I was stuck in a "Sytrus" cycle and you have got me back into using the TS404 an 3 Osx. Tracks are sounding much deeper now. Ive only been producing for a month so all this info is vital!!

Can someone explain the 'duplicate' feature? Like in the playlist window, I want to copy over some patterns so I select them then press ctrl+b, but the spacing is all wrong, so I have to manually go through and adjust the patterns individually... very annoying. Is this normal?

[ApeCat]

Not sure I understand the question.. If you're looking to simply copy paste a big block of stuff hold down control and then drag the mouse over the patterns and things of your choice, ctrl+c, ctrl+v, drag the block of red patterns and samples over to the next empty space and you've got it.

If you want to make new, unique instances out of old ones to just change things up a little, hit the drop down menu and then press "m" to create a new unique pattern / sample.

No here's what's happening:


I have these samples selected here in the playlist:


I want to duplicate them into the next bar, so I press ctrl+b. This is what I expect to happen:


But this is what actually happens:

[ApeCat]

Didn't know that feature even existed..

But since the samples are all lit up in red it means they're still selected en masse, so you should be able to click and drag one of them, move it to the right bar and all the rest should follow automatically.

They actually are being duplicated to the next empty bar so FL thinks it's actually doing a good job of helping you out..

But these are drums you're setting up, yeah? Won't it be easier to program them in the sequencer instead, takes up way less space, man.

Is anyone else having issues with vst plugins that are in x64? They randomly stop working for me and im forced to reload them every time which makes me loose all the settings i've done for them.
It's happening for me specifically on Sausage fattener atm.

Do anyone know a fix to this?

got a problem (but knowing how to turn it back on again would also be very helpful)

basically, when i draw something into the playlist, instead of just automatically putting the start of the audio clip at the nearest 4th of a bar, it puts it wherever the cursor is, and im also able to drag it with greater accuracy than every 4th of a bar. what have i done?

[Nautilus]

not exactly sure what your problem is, but to change the automatic placement/magnetism/whatever its called for note placement, the upside-down U in the top left can allow you to adjust exactly how much you want to be able to control.

You have a option enabled that's called "clipping"(i think), it makes your soundclips automatically move set amounts when you try to move them. You can disable this option somewhere in options or tools.

If you cant find it another option is to zoom in as much as possible(this is what i usually do), this increases the size of what you see and you are able to move your sound clips with more accuracy.

Bump, i really want to add sausage fattener on my mixer channels but whenever i restart fl studio it crash and makes me have to redo all sausage fattener settings.

[duckstep]

Turned out that it was fruity wrapper causing these crashes

To ARMED, its actually called "snap" settings. and yeah for super basic things, and putting new patterns in, to line up perfectly even with the grid in FL, you click that magnet, and select main, or line. Now, you can chop your patterns up, and you can get down to super tiny increments, or if you want to slide things around. you can choose step. all the way down to a 1/6th of a step i believe. double clicking on a pattern will copy that portion of it to the paint brush, and you can drag it out, and make a roll for example of kicks out of the beginning of a drum pattern, BUT, just click back on to main, that should fix your problem. might have to delete that pattern and re insert.
