I use fruity for drums (i know it can do more)and I would like to just save one sequence, say the verse of a song, so I can import it into cakewalk home studio 2004 and use it. However when I do this, the tempo gets all messed up and the song tracks I have already get out of position. Now I tried saving it as a non-acidized file and that solved my tempo problem but created another.
The drums sound like there is some sort of delay, coupled with reverb on them. It sounds awful! Also, they play at the right tempo but aren't at the same time. It's like I recorded the drums faster, with the recorder recording faster, then played it back at real speed. This creates a slow-mo effect but everything is in real time.
Since I import all my tracks as .wav files (guitar, vocals, ect), should I set tempo for the project the same as it was in FL and then everything will match up?!? God I am so confused!

Oct 19, 2003 01:57 pm Odds are it saving the tail, or "decay" of the last note of the measure, say a cymbal or something, and that is what is throwing it off. clip the tail and just export right to the measure. I know that Fruity does that, it's in the export options...somewhere...
Well, back to the Vikes, I'd love to chat, but gotta go :-D
Oct 19, 2003 02:03 pm it sounds like reverb/delay is on them?
i dont know if this is the right diagnosis, but i had probs with fruity at first too...at the moment i do not export fruity files, preferring to keep the fruity playing live as a VST, but...if you are exporting, make sure you go into options or whatever, and choose 'wrap' or something like that. if it's not selected, your tempo will be messed up. and to handle the delay/reverb problem, make sure you're mixing down to the right bitrate and all that jazz. when i first tried mixing down my drums sounded dim and messed up with a lot of echo, as if i had run them through a bad piece of noise reduction software. the prob was the bitrate.
Oct 19, 2003 08:02 pm and one other thing to remember when you're exporting from fruty, set the interpolation curve to :edit: "sinc depth 256" otherwise it won't sound quite like you heard it on playback
Oct 20, 2003 06:52 pm what does that mean, jamie?...
also what's the other half of your 'either?'
Oct 20, 2003 11:34 pm oops, i edited that "either" out. typo.
interpolation is just a fancy name for mixing. there's many ways to do, and fruity lets you choose from several algorithms. the 256 is the strongest and i think it sounds the best.
