FL Studio - Audio Clips

<p>Huh. Figured I may as well post this up, because it really is a cool piece of info that I learned on my own, minus all the fancy stuff that you see in a real manual... This is just an excerpt from two posts on Soundclick, but it does the job.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" width="90%" align="center"><tr><td style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11px;" class="genmed"><span style="color: #ffffff;"><span style="font-family: mceinline;"><span style="font-family: mceinline;">Thomas J wrote:</span></span></span></span></td></tr><tr><td class="quote" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #444444; line-height: 13px; background-color: #fafafa; border: 1px solid #d1d7dc;">right, here's a question, is there a way to import a sample into the bit at the bottom where the recorded stuff goes? i'm sure i should probably rtfm but i don't wanna.</td></tr></table><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-family: mceinline;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">Me:</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: 12px;" class="postbody"><br />Are you talking about the playlist thing? (F5)&nbsp;<br /><br />If so, load the sample like you normally would, (right click a channel, then select insert -&gt; Audio clip -&gt; Find said audio clip)&nbsp;<br /><br />Then when it's loaded, click it so that the window for the channel appears, and drag the wave form (You know, that graph looking thing at the bottom. I don't really know what it's called... I happen to ride the short bus when it comes to terminology for shit...&nbsp;<img src="http://board.soundclick.com/images/smiles/icon_redface.gif" border="0" alt="Embarassed" /&gt then drop it into the playlist. Now you don't have to manually set the note to C(5? Is it C5? Or is it C4? C3? It's one of those 3.) and 100% volume, then 75% velocity.&nbsp;<br /><br />It's gonna play a little louder than it's supposed to when you load it up to the playlist, there should be a new audio channel exactly like the one you have loaded, but instead of a desaturated purple, it's closer to grey. That's the channel for the audio you've loaded into the playlist. I think it plays louder than it should because it might be defaulting to 100% velocity? But anyway. 66% volume seems to work for me, or 60%, can't remember, haven't used that function since Finality....&nbsp;<br /><br />The advantage here is that you can skim it like a regular audio clip, rather than having to start at the beginning of the sample every time as with the purple channel.&nbsp;<br /><br /><br />... I don't read manuals either... xD. Except for my LS-10. Damn you Olympus and your advanced technology. Why can't I just hit record? Noooo. You have to hit record TWICE.&nbsp;<img src="http://board.soundclick.com/images/smiles/icon_mad.gif" border="0" alt="Mad" />&nbsp;I still don't get how their Zoom Mic works either. Nor do I get why I can only use it with the crappy 44khz mode.&nbsp;<br /><br />EDIT: Oh wait! I did use that recently. The entire intro to Anti-Realitat was an audio clip. D'oh.</span></span></p>
