How can i let a channel fade in/out

yanongena	Date: April 24, 2005 @ 3:15 PM I have a song and different patterns. There is one pattern i use a lot and i want to let that pattern fade in on one specific place in my playlist. I use that pattern on different places and there it can not fade. Is it possible in FL and how can i do that?
djfacemachine	Date: April 24, 2005 @ 3:54 PM use the "record" feature. if you don't know how it works i'd suggest looking it up in the help file. when you are "recording", any knob tweeking/volume editing/etc will be "recorded". when you play back the song the values will be changed as you changed them during song playback. i know this is really confusing... sorry about that. seriously, just read the help file and you should be fine
monkvolcano	Date: April 24, 2005 @ 3:56 PM well.. there are a couple of different ways you could go about doing this.. the way you chose would probably depend on how many instuments are in the pattern. if it's just one intrument, then all you have to do is automate the channel volume for that instrument in the part of the song you want it to fade out on. it can be a little confusing at first if you don't know how automation works. what i would do first, is pick a pattern that you want to be used for all automation in the song. go to that pattern, and right click on the channel volume that you want to automate, and select "edit events" then just scroll forwards to the measure of the song that you want to fade out at, and draw it in. after this you'll have to place that pattern in the playlist at the very beginning of the song. i know that this is confusing, let me know if you need clarifacation. if there's more than one channel involved, there's another method you would have to use, if you need to know that one, i'll explain. -monk

loxal	Date: May 10, 2005 @ 8:42 AM best way ive found, is under the channel settings, there are in out settings at the bottom, theyre good but this means u have to make a few chennels of the saem clip (or wateva r using) if u want a slightly longer fade
loxal	Date: May 17, 2005 @ 8:32 AM ahh that helps alot, cause ive been wanting to fade in small sections on the playlist, but so far if only able to fade in 1 channel at a time, which means if i want to use the sound fading in, and normally i have to use 2 channels.............
