Helped a lot bro thanks!!

The settings should save with your project on the VST you changed. UNLESS you picked "Init with this possition" Then that position of the knob will be where it starts when the song starts playing.

You can remove that by right clicking the knob (controller) and selecting Reset.

But for the most part, when you save the project (in a ZIP) you should have all the settings go with it. Assuming you got the non-DEMO

how do u add a midi track to its own mixer in Fl studio?

[MrSidMan]

@BMUSIK101 Midi Out is mainly used to control an external midi hardware usually. What you'd need to do to control something like an external synthesizer would be to have an interface box, either a mixer or something that supports INPUTS like XLR or 1/4" audio jacks to port in audio. There are some nice Mixers that will do this, working as an Audio Interface. So set it up for your computer, and then go To FL, and the mixer, and create a stereo Input from which ever incoming lines you want to use

[MrSidMan]

Respond to this video... CONT: So, from there your midi will control your external, which goes into your audio interface, which goes through FL Mixer.

As far as doing this Internally through software, and having effects applied, I'm not sure off hand how you'd go about doing this... : /

ok i'm going to try that out. i got one problem left cause i can only record the automation for about 4 bars. i dont know why, i go look on the forum you said it was looptalk right?

[MrSidMan]

@vincentvinc1 Yeah, it's looptalk,

FLStudio.com

Goto Support, and look for the LoopTalk link...

I think you might have to have a registered account tho to post...

[vincentvinc1]

many thanks for your time bro! i got it in automation clip now! the only problem is that i got to much snap points now but automation clips are much easier to edit than the events. again thanks for your effort! (y)

[MrSidMan]

@vincentvinc1 i still yet to ask in the post (got side tracked), if you look for the magnet icon (snap icon) and change it (the playlist one) to none, this MIGHT help...

[vincentvinc1]

i got a question. i got my pitch weel assigned to the pitch button. When i hit record automation and score it record the pitch in the events. I dont like to edit in the edit events menu but i want to record in the automation clip, do you know to get that?

[MrSidMan]

@vincentvinc1 Vince, good question. I posted a forum on the FLStudio looptalk, and they usually answer fairly quickly... I will let you know what they tell me.

[MrSidMan]

@vincentvinc1 try this, but recording in it I'll have to ask again,

Edit events or Piano roll Options>Edit>Turn into automation clip.
