Hey does anybody know how to get a good metal style distorted guitar sound in fruityloops? Ive tried adding bood overdrive plugin to the Plucked guitar sound but it sounds shit...like i want it palm muted
Thanks
-
Use a real guitar. Even Slayer sucks the big one (although I have heard some pretty good stuff from it in the right hands). Blood overdrive & Plucked? Pfffft.

What you need. I could try and play it for ya. I know the guitar stuff. Like virtuosos, trembalos, arppegios. And I can play pretty good way up high on the little tiny strings too.
If it's a plugin you really want, about the best one I've listened to was Virtual Guitarist.

Seriously though if you've got it scored out I could give a crack at it and throw the wavs back to you.

how the crap do you get soundfonts to work on FLStudio 4.5?
I can load them into the SF player, but i can't seem to get them to make a sound.

Fruityloops blows man. You can't make good music with it. Get Propellerhead's Reason 3.0 and Cakewalk's SONAR 4.

Bullshit. Prove it.

:nyd: Don't you be steppin' to my FruityLoops. You tell him, Rob!
Honestly, though, Face, FruityLoops isn't what you're going to want if you want to write metal, unless you're just using it as a writing tool to then give to people in your band. If you're doing that, I'd use a preset from Slayer and just work with that -- it's been working for me and my band for the last year or so.
-
Heh.. i've been bending FL to write progressive rock for at least a year and half now. You can make some good stuff with it.
Still, how the FUCK do you get soundfonts to work (i.e. make sounds) in FL?
-
>> I'd use a preset from Slayer
Whats that?
-
It's a guitar plugin that comes with it after a certain version. If you don't have it under "Plugin presets," update your version of FL.

It shouldn't be a problem aran. It just works?
*shrugs*
I'll check out the details later.

lol.
Of course, you can make music with a matchbox full of pebbles, so you can sure as hell make it with almost any of the software studios.
/me goes off to try making music in Excel.

I make a new channel with the FL soundfont player, and load the soundfont into it. When i open up the piano roll and try to use it, i get no sound.
I looked in the help docs, but there wasn't anything on the soundfont player.
-
What soundfont are you using, and what does it say in the patch / bank / soundfont textboxes in the middle of the channel window??
-
All the boxes have names in them... that's not the problem.
The default soundfont works, but when i try to use these Easyrider drum/cymbal soundfonts i downloaded from one of the forums you linked to earlier in this thread, i get no sound.

Linky?
-
Test all the notes, Aran. Some of them are finnicky and only let you use one or two of the notes in the soundfont, and you have to find them.
For instance, my tuba soundfont will not work at C10, for what should be obvious reasons.
