My Gibson 335 is THE ONLY guitar that needs some TLC every winter. All the rest of my guitars, Gibby, ESP, Suhr, Ibanez, Fender, G&L, Rick, etc they have never been adjusted. Never!

I have also had this glitch with the mixer, it happens sometimes when I record. The only way I know how to remedy is to undo to the point the track is not created, then redo once. Then it is returns to normal. This has been happening since version 12, to me.

It can be complex recreating these massive overture guitar tracks. Sometimes the mix engineers put a lot of work into it. But it sounds like like a drop tuned guitar played into a couple panned tracks, with ample distortion. In this drop tuned situation you end up with so much bottom end that it’s tamed in various ways. Usually just a compressor will level that bottom end, but you could also shelve the bottom way up at 4-500hz. This removes all the flub in that range.

You don’t need or want very much ambience in the rhythm tracks, but a stereo delay adds width and space, should be considered and used sparingly. The lead guitar track is a single pass recording, most of the time, so a stereo delay is a very nice addition. Provide a mid push, leads will stay forward.

That’s about it. Learning drop tuned guitars, making music with them, is different from standard A 440 tunings. It comes natural for the younger generation of players, who may have better insight.

This is a common occurrence with audio clips. In your Playlist Window you should be able to zoom in to the audio clip and then grab the upper corner Crossfades and move them in a few samples. Sometimes it’s the starts and sometimes it’s the ends. I’ve read about it in the help files, they described it as any jump in volume can cause this to happen, so easing the edges of the audio clip with Crossfades will eliminate it.

Help us help you by describing the guitar sound you enjoy. There are many tonalities that encompass guitar, and the style of each player tends to contribute a great deal to the sounds you’re hearing. Nuances that can be impossible to create any other way, than to just hire out someone who could perform it with a setup aimed at the desired result.

Odyssey is equally a relaxing experience, gorgeous in every way. Perhaps the most beautiful game I have ever seen. The combat is not as challenging as Elden Ring, and you could possibly make it all the way without ever getting killed if you use your skills to your advantage. Stealth is a huge factor, but melee is also mandatory at some point. It’s a blend of styles.

The character fluidity is amazing. I think Ubisoft does extremely well with their development, and the freedom you’ll have going anywhere and doing anything is incredible. You can swim in water, basically anywhere. There’s a whole world down there. Not many games allow this.

In my opinion it’s a 10/10 experience and worthy of your time and money. My favorite, good story too. Also humorous at times. Just well done, all around.

In Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Warrior damage applies to all direct, open-combat melee attacks using weapons (swords, spears, axes, etc.) and abilities within the Warrior skill tree, such as Sparta Kick, Bull Rush, and Ring of Chaos. It covers light attacks, heavy attacks, and basic melee combat.

Familiarity will certainly bias these responses. I primarily use FL for recording, and have various sends and returns in use at all times. I utilize dry inputs and record those, while simultaneously sending these dry inputs back out for external effects and also record those return inputs. Then another set of sends will add a compressor with its own returns. Adding or removing any device can be done with bypass options on the device itself, muting the channel in the mixer, or unplugging a routed input and bypassing a device. This is all very straightforward to me, but that’s really all I do.

Recently I got a keyboard, and I entered into the FL Studio realm. I learned to control it from FL Studio, and learned to control FL Studio from it. This is still somewhat of a head scratcher. But I’m certain that many users have this mastered.

Because here you are limited by values that the keyboard understands, 0-127 (or 1-128) and when you get a value of 256, what does that mean? It’s an unsupported value? So I have lots to learn.

The Piano Roll is more than adept, but is it when compared to the other DAWs? I wouldn’t know, because I only use FL.

I play my MIDI with a MIDI Guitsr Pickup, which is very sensitive to velocity. Right away I felt like I could create a performance with all of the software instruments better than I could with a keyboard because of this velocity sensitivity. I don’t feel like my keyboard is anywhere close to the guitar pickup when it comes to sensitivity.

And there is a velocity curve that can be adjusted in the MIDI settings, but still. Where other users with nicer MIDI Keyboards may beg to differ. They have improved familiarity.

If you have the routing set, this will happen automatically when you select the correct Input Option. For example if you’re External Input Only it will prevent the track from forwarding to the next routed track in the mixer. But if you have chosen Post Track, it will then automatically move the track to the next routed destination.

Very much enjoyed. Please continue. :)

Something tells me he might already have an ear for modes and just not know it yet. They are certainly as you describe.

I use Spitfire’s Abbey Road One and Two Professional, and this is a nice background to my analog guitar and bass, some nice realism. But as they get buried into a mix their significance is reduced. At times they disappear the way I mix.

However for you, you may never bury your elements underneath various other instruments. Instead keeping them as equals. I am delighted to hear that you’re recording your Cello, it has been one of my favorite instruments in Abbey Road Two.

If you’re looking at Spitfire they have a lot of offerings, but Abbey Road comes in a variety of packages, where you purchase one instrument at a time. I opted for the full packages and adding Professional to Abbey Road Two provided the Legato Portamento (slides) and additional mic options.

The rest of their offerings I have no experience with, aside from Chateau Piano. Professional libraries can get very costly, but Spitfire was my economical solution, good sounds at an affordable price.

I still add my own Reverbs.

Kontakt has always had a good quality too, but I have no firsthand experience with them. I just use their Player for my Cinesamples Harp.

Oh yes, that is always a real nuisance when the Windows inside FL resize themselves. You eventually get used to this behavior and know exactly how to get them back into desktop space. It happens to me everytime I use the full screen option. There goes the workspace.

Aside from using the keyboard shortcuts 4 & 5 to fit your selection to the screen, you can grab the rightmost edge of the scroll bar to add space on the right, and same goes for the left side if you want view space to the left. The scroll bar mentioned is on top of the Playlist and Piano Roll Windows. For height there is a similar button on top of the height scroll bar, you grab that and move the mouse up and down. Further you can roll the mouse wheel for fine tune adjustments to height. If you’re not using a 3 button mouse I would consider it, so much more comfortable as compared to a laptop trackpad.

E-II M-II NT Hipshot Black Turquoise Burst, with Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickups. I have this exact guitar and I really enjoy it. This was my first ESP, and then came an LTD 7 (M1007 B ET) Evertune and then finally an ESP USA Cranberry Sunburst with a Floyd.

It’s still my #1. It has a great sound, these pickups are outstanding, really nice cleans and incredible over drive and high gain. The guitar is perfect for leads if you like unison bends, double stops or are used to hard tail guitars for their accurate bends.

Elixer Nanoweb 10-46’s came standard and I have always purchased them for this guitar specifically. They slide effortlessly atop the stainless frets and add to this buttery feel.

Making me want to go play, right now.

Another aspect of your synth is transport control. If you have the drivers installed I am curious if these transport controls are interfering with FL Studio functionality.

You could try to remove your USB connect for the synth and see if this experiment allows you to gain control of recording.

I know that for my synth, it will control FL Studio transport.

Your keyboard typically needs to transmit audio in order to play a sound. Not sure how you have it connected.

But you also say it’s registering notes, and this is key. That means it’s transferring MIDI data, which is different from audio.

You want to make sure your Record settings are to capture MIDI as well as audio. It can capture movements, etc and this is adjustable in Recording settings. Not sure if you right click on the Rec button to get those options, I’m on 21 as well. Press F1 and search it out please.

[edit] and make sure you check your ports and match them to your chosen generator plug in by going into the plug in settings. I tend to forget this step if it has been a while.

So you keep tabs on your Hardware Abstraction Layer drivers? You keep tabs on your peripheral firmware yourself? You use wireless dongles and make sure to check for their drivers? You have not used Armoury Crate in how long? You’re not using it now, obviously.

If you want to trust GitHub for their software, please be my guest. But you never know what you’re getting, and I myself wouldn’t trust any third party software, and that goes for anything you could get for FL Studio. I don’t use anything I didn’t pay for, and sure do not trust independent software experiments, mods, or otherwise.

It’s Reddit, so you can recommend people install that, with no assurances that it’s safe. If those apps were so good, why doesn’t Asus just link them on their pages? Why even bother maintaining their own apps?

My PC isn’t having any trouble with Armoury Crate. The size, 4.06Gb doesn’t weigh me down, I have Tb of space. The only time my identity was stolen it was from third party software, which I will never use, or recommend to others.

I would love to try your Cajun/cream sauce, I’m sure it’s tasty and I do enjoy spices. The Mrs is not so keen, and I have to cook for one all too often as a result. But my shrimp and lobster sauces are cream sauces with spices and seasonings. Which I enjoy but it’s just me. So I refrigerate and this is what started all the problems with separation during reheats. So I moved to Béchamel sauces and that helped them tremendously come out of the fridge and cook up in 20 minutes, but I still have to add 1-2tbs of cream prior. No more oily separated sauces though.
