hey everyone!

I am trying with FL6 to get this certain melody I know down but its not working out it just doesn't sound right. I was wondering if its possible to get a sample of it being sung from a song and than using that as a sample some how and fitting into the FL6 system.

Possible? If so, anyone know a good tutorial for this exact issue? Its a rare song, not commercial, and I have not been able to obtain even a midi of it.

Thanks for the great forum that i've been with for sooo many years TA ROCKS

Hmmm if I understand you correctly, you wanna take a sung melody from a song and import it into FL Studio.

if YES:

It's pretty easy. Take some program [CoolEdit Pro] that allows you to cut/splice/edit wav or mp3 files. Cut out the loop and save it as a wav file. Then, in FL Studio, open a sampler channel and select the wave file. Piano roll a note for the sung melody. Do make sure that everythings has to match the tempo of the sung melody or you are gonna get one f***ed up song. ;-) Time stretch if you have to.

or

Post a sample of the melody and we'll help you out [I HOPE]. Btw, why do you want to copy a melody?

if NOT:

Sucks, dude.

I burned it to mp3 than used sony ACID to turn it into a .wav than I inserted it into FL6. It created a messed up piano roll that went up like stairs!

and it sounded nothing like the melody.

I'm wondering is there a program that can listen to the track and try to setup a midi of it? Or maybe an easy way to turn it into a nice synth string for the track sounding exactly like the melody?

here is a small cut from the song that I am going to use. Try it out yourself, if anything works please tell me what

I might be wrong, but the stairs you describe look like you acidized/chopped the wav and then imported the midi loop that triggers the slices in sequencial order.

There are some tools that try to figure out the notes from an audio track but it doesn't work very well if it isn't a solo instrument. Especially with voices it is difficult. If you have an acapella voice you could use a pitchshifting programm which analyses the notes sung.

no acapella available but maybe I can sing the song into my mic and record it with that?

I'd like to just manually add it, but you notice if you hear the voice there are a lot of variations that are hard to reproduce for a novice like myself :P

Playing an istrument helps because you will learn how to pick notes and be able to pick what note is what nomatter what instrument/voice it is.
Im regretting giving up keyboard all those years ago and not picking it bak up untill recently.
