Yeah, but you can do the same thing in FL Studio with Fruity Slicer or Slicex.

My answer to this is to for example automate several paramaters of lets say a repeating synth perc type sound, throughout the entire life of the track. It takes a lot of time to get right.

So on such a sound I would automate;

1) The filter
2) Volume
3) FM / WMA type parameters - really can make a sound more organic and evolving

4) Release
5) Oscilators - altering the waveforms (where a dial allows gradual morphing)
6) Delay feedback and intensity

7) Reverb sends and legnth of verb
8) eq - so as the verb goes long and white, gradualy remove lower freqs

This is the minimum I'd do to such sounds.


I really don't like tracks where it's a collection of loops with a lead. It's like claiming to be a decent chef by throwing some ready made sauces together.

instead of using pre-made loops create your own source sounds and load them into a sampler instrument and sequence your own loops via midi. It's so much easier to change everything when it's all midi data
