impressive as the standard fruity instruments are, they're all very much geared towards dance and stuff - not what i do really.

where can i download some more (free, natch) instruments? what should i be looking for anyways?

anything not-dance is cool, but im on the lookout for anything interesting really!

help!

Or, of course there is Project 5 as well...WooHoo! It rocks. Since going to Project 5 I haven't even opened FruityLoops once...

alright, next stoopid fruity question...i programmed a REALLY complex bass line which took me three hours, tried to change the sample i'd used to create it and now its gone! i mean, the layout is still there, but nothing plays at all - any ideas?

d'oh!

WAIT HOLD UP STOP!

don't get Reason. It's doens't support VST efects or instruments. There's not alot it can do that Fruity and some VSTs can't. You just have to use your head to route things the way you want, unlike the intuitive but ultimately constrictive virtual patch cables in Reason.

As for extra wav samples, *DUDE* check those discs i gave you. There's literally thousands of drums and synths and noises to sift through. And as for new instruments... well, that's where a good VSTi will come in. There's hundreds of free VST instruments availble. Most sound mediochre, but I can help direct you towards the ones that sound awesome.

For starters go to these sites and nab everything free you can find:

www.tweakbench.com/
www.smartelectronix.com/~dmi/
www.smartelectronix.com/~alex/
www.rgcaudio.com/
www.loftsoft.co.uk/
www.tobybear.de/
klangformer.de/
www.muon-software.com/
www.greenoak.com/crystal/
www.funkelectric.com/~cockaigne/
www.jxplugins.co.uk/index.php3?p=4

there's a couple dozen for starters

Of all people, I don't think flame has to be told to go get the free stuff first...remember, he is our resident freeware cheapskate on the street :-D

I can't figure out how to use Reason, but I can figure out how to use Fruityloops... so I suggest what I can use.

Free good wave samples to use are really hard to find. I've been a lot disapointed from my search. I search for specific instrument :

-String ensemble, cello, violin,etc...
-Choir
-piano
-fretless bass
-Organ (church organ and all other spooky synthetizer sound):)
-tubular bell

as for the drum I've download the NSKit, seem nice,I've not tried it yet. well, I will continue my search, if someone can help me, link URL or something else. thanks

i've bought a few sample discs of eBay and use them almost exclusively. I've also got an extensive collection of samples i've found on the web and even a few hundred megs of stuff I've made myself. Just keep looking, it may take awhile and you'll have to weed thru tons of junk to find the good stuff, but if you're really serious about this stuff your efforts will pay off.
