i notice when i do remixes of other people who are using fruity loops studio, they dont name their patterns.. for example "Kick1, kick 2, clap 1, clap2 etc.." i think it makes the producing so much easier if you do name them..
just a suggestion. ;) |

My flow just developed without them. I know what my patterns do, so I don't need to name them.
Of course, if someone wanted to do a remix, I'd go through and organize the requested flp for their sake. |

| I find not naming things is bad practice, if there is an option to name things you are using, name them |

Heh, yeah I've noticed this too sometimes... And a whole lot of things thrown here and there.
Mostly I like to work really organized. It always helps me later as well in case I'd like to look something up. |

x1.
Good organizing is the key:) |

Yes absolutely name them.
I don't only name my patterns but I make sure they're all color coded.
All the lower frequency sounds get dark colors and the brighter higher synths get lighters shades. I can't understand how people mix w/out naming patterns. A solid track for me can have up to 70 patterns and if they're not named I'll waste too much time searching for them.
Also it helps to have a default rack with reserved patterns (kick, percussion, pad, synth, etc) and I'll keep them empty for new songs to make things easier. |

I name everything. Also I name a pattern into a blank, by pushing a spacebar for its name, for a nice separator to keep things tidy. Never got into color coding though.
Also I order everything. The channels, patterns, and mixer inserts are all in the same order so I know exactly where everything is. |

Hijack: does anyone know if they are planning on giving FL proper dual/quad core support in FL 8? Can someone check on looptalk for me?
Thanks. |

I have proper dual support in FL 7 and it works exactly like it should cutting cpu loads in half. Let me know if you have any questions.

My experience with FL7 has been less than stellar. I usually only use 3-4 instruments per track, so the overwhelming majority of the CPU load goes to effects. Effects cannot be run in multiple cores, only instruments, so one of my cores sits on 10-15% while the other happily goes up to 70% or more. I can deal with it at the moment, but if they're not going to fix it soon, they are a sinking ship.
If someone can check if Imageline intends on giving FL 8 proper multi core support, it would be much appreciated. |

| I never name any tracks, my arrangements are a complete mess and my filenames never match the track. I can never find anything... |
