I just got fruity loops, and i Woudl like to open a song and try to remix it.
not just remix it, but i would like to hjave an idea of how are they composed
do they need to be in .wav or .m3 or i need transfrom it ina nother format to open it with fruitty loops.
Thanks-- |

I have no problem understading
He wants to know can he open a mp3/Wav file in FL to remix it, or could he convert one so it will have its structure intact through FL
Bassically you cant, you need a FLP file, its the file type that FL uses |

ok couple of things...
1. you can't just take your mp3 of a song and open it in a program like fruity loops and start hitting buttons because you'll have all of the sounds on the same channels. what you need to do is take a song that you like...sample out the elements that you'd like to incorporate into your remix and load each of those samples into fruity loops. this way you'll have each on a seperate channel and you can tweak them accordingly.
2. when you do this they will need to be in a .wav format. you can inport samples into FL sound banks in this format and open them from there on out.
3. you also can't open your favorite song into FL and see the structure of that song because well...it isn't a .FLP file like someone mentioned. if you try and load an entire song into FL via .wav...for every note you play...you will get the entire song...you won't see any of the structural elements. what you should do is load up one of the riffs or songs that comes with the program itself to see how different elements work together... |

Remixing is a bit advanced for a beginner; learn the basics first, then try remixing tracks.
To answer your question, you can see the composition of a song by finding a midi of that song. Try google; then open the midi in FL Studio and see how professionals did it.
Good luck. |

Thanks to all for the help provided here, I really Apreciated.
my point here was not to remix professionally asong, i just thought it was ogign to be more easy to see the structure of a song and hten play with it.
i just got the demo of fruity,
do you recommend me fruity loops or cubase?
Again thansk to all of you. |

YOur best bet is in FL to click File -> Open -> and go to the tutorials folder, you should find about 50 .flp files that will show you all sorts of ways fruityloops can be used to write music.

If your just starting out, and the structure of writing music, using host's and VST's is something your not familiar with, use Fruityloops to start, its the easiest program to learn the basics on. |

dont listen to these jack ass's in here. first, you need to get something better than fruity loops. if you're going to start producing and spending the time learning, at least get cubase. its hard to learn, but you will learn and be able to make quality tracks. also, if you want to remix a track, why dont you just email the artist and ask for the original wav files. you cant take a track and sample sounds out. it sounds like garbage, and quite frankly, it doesnt work! once you learn mastering you'll understand why. but just to give you and idea.... when a track is produced, there can be up to 50 separate channels (maybe more) and when the final mixdown is done, they take all of the channels and mix them into one. can you imagine tring to separate all of those to get sounds and filter out all the other files? its useless to try. no track is ever done in fruity loops by any big producer my friend. you need to learn with the big boys, and then you'll be happier you took the time to go with the good stuff. good luck and enjoy producing. :)
cheers,
Shane

you are just ing stupid.... no pro tracks made in fl??? what the do you know??? prodigy. relocate and so many more use fl... you are stupid if you think that cubase is better thatn fl. the are both gr8 with ups and downs but the poit is what really actualy suits you and helps you make music.
every program that is good enough is gr8. the program doesnt make the music. you do. cubase/logic/nuendo/sonar and stuff are the more so called pro programs. but i i find that making a track in cubase is harder than it is in floops. its slower... dunno just doesnt work for me. floops is easy, understandable and fast. verry fast... you make loops in the paterns and just mix them down. anyways id say start with reason or fl. reason is better cuz all the synths are build in and they are good for start. but youll need vstis some day and youll move in cubase/fl.
anyways thats too much info for a begginer just get a program arround with it learn the basics learn some music theory and google everything you dont understand or ask here. if you really like it and stick to it... you ll be able to make gr8 tracks some day. its gonna take years tho.
good luck |

Re:locate
Luke Terry
Im never against someone using cubase,logic,protools.. its just a well known fact a huge amount of the people who start on hosts like these end up quitting due to the steep learning curve...
most people who start with fruity stay producing, or move on to one of the move advanced platforms...
Good luck with your productions Pinokio |
