Paul182	Date: June 12, 2005 @ 5:36 PM hey on fruity loops i can make drums but its alot of hassle. the way i do it is i make up a track that is 64 beats i think and save that in the project part under realistic. i make another and save that and continue till i finish a song. i then open up audacity and import all the tracks and line them up etc which can take ages. my question is, is there anyway i can make a whole drum track for songs and only need to import it once to audacity?
monkvolcano	Date: June 12, 2005 @ 8:22 PM you need to learn how to use the playlist.. FL would indeed be a huge pain in the ass if you had to make tracks the way you just stated. once again, I will explain how patterns work. when you open up the step sequencer (the window with all the buttons that you program your beat on) it displays one pattern. you can make many different patterns, and arrange them in the order that you want them to play, in the "playlist" so.. you'll notice that at the top of the screen somewhere on the transport, there is a little dial that tells which pattern you're on. when you finish programming pattern one, switch to pattern two, and make another. then go to the playlist window, and you can place a little block that will represent pattern one or two. arrange as many of those blocks as you want in whatever order you want. at the top of the screen, there's also a little button that says pattern, or song. click song when you want to playback the patterns in the order you've arranged them in the playlist, or pattern when you want to hear just the pattern you're working on.. and there you have it..

The first step in this process, is called "RTFM", which, simply put, tranlates to: READ THE FUCKING MANUAL. I am now done.
