FL 3.5 vs. FL 5

alloutofgum	Date: March 31, 2005 @ 12:24 PM How is everyone? This is my first time using this forum, as well as my first time with Fruity Loops. I tried the demo version 3.5, and I loved it and bought FL 5 Studio. There has only been one main difference so far, but it is pretty major: in the Piano Roll window, version 3.5 was set up so that you click a square to insert the note, and lengthen or shorten it, and it would fit into the square(s). In version 5, the note won't stay within the boxes, making it more difficult to keep a stead beat. This actually also occurs in the Playlist window. I liked being able to click one box at a time to keep things constant, and now I have to click, then line it up as close to the box as possible. Anyone know how to fix this? I am getting frustrated by this difference. Thanks for helping me out here. D

(you are using FL 5.0 i presume?) by settin the option to snap to cell. this will fix ur problem and your playlist cells will snap to the bar instead of you having to manually slide them.

dagreen	Date: May 12, 2005 @ 9:37 AM I think FL 5 is a better software cuz it's more stable, i can rewire with it and a whole lot more

koiulpoi	Date: May 12, 2005 @ 3:36 PM I've gotten so used to the 4/5 interface, that 3 seems very odd to me. Especially that thing where a multi bar pattern only displays the first bar on a playlist - that bugs me.
monkvolcano	Date: May 13, 2005 @ 1:45 AM yeah.. what koiul said.. what do you'll like about 3.5 that's better anyway? i can't think of anything.. one thing i love about five is that when you change the subdivisions of each beat, it compensates the tempo correctly..
iOrbit	Date: May 13, 2005 @ 8:11 AM 3.5 didn't have a mixer... I can't understand how you guys can live without it.
koiulpoi	Date: May 16, 2005 @ 3:05 PM What I like about 3 is it's TS404. The step sequencer in 5 just doesn't cut it for the ts404, you just can't do the same things sometimes. Listen to dkeifer's music for an example of what I'm talking about. 3 had no mixer (i've actually got 3.1.1), but it did have effects and support for VSTi plugins. You can use FL 3 as a host and FL 5 as a plugin.

Aren't they exactly the same?... (plus in 4 and 5 the 404 works in the piano roll) "You can use FL 3 as a host and FL 5 as a plugin." And why... why would anyone wanna do that? FL 1 rocks pretty hard too... it's free
monkvolcano	Date: May 16, 2005 @ 5:18 PM yeah... all i use is FL 1.. that's it.. although sometimes i just draw out my music in waveforms as a bmp file.. it takes a little longer that way though..

koiulpoi	Date: May 16, 2005 @ 10:04 PM No, actually, the TS404 in FL 3 is slightly different. Importing files from 3 into 5 does not work properly. And you would wanna do that because, like I said, FL 3 files sometimes don't import properly. Me, I use nothing but my mad guitar skillz and sndrec32.exe
iOrbit	Date: May 17, 2005 @ 6:22 AM "No, actually, the TS404 in FL 3 is slightly different" different how?
