wav files are best

it'll work fine with reason etc as well with 'rewire'

the synths & efx that come with pro-tools will only work with pro-tools

If u r a beginner FL is about ur best bet producer edition. Just use it itself for a while till u get used to the layout once u start getting to grips with how to build tracks ( kick, snare, hats, percussion, bassline an synth patterns) then start lookin for sample packs these will give u different loops, kicks, fx etc! They have filled books on the whole process! It takes a long long time to get good with it!Best thing i could say to u is dont be too bothered about tryin to find that perfect sound cos u wont! Concentrate more on how u put the tracks together first an u will find that as u get better at doing tunes from start to finish u will be picking up what little things do like eq's n fx by just putting them on an messin with the settings! Or u could fly to england an pay a producer to make u a track!! :D

I was looking at fl there last night and my god i didnt know what i was at , found a few more bits on it and small things lik how to add more stuff and were to find the bas and all of that stuff will just keep looking though it like you said!!cheerssmilie

Practice at laying the blocks, listen to tunes u got from the intro n see how the build like kick n hat for 8 blocks then add another hat r percussion for 8 then bring in snare for 8 then maybe drum roll building for 8 then bring in bassline! Most dance is built on 8 to 16 blocks i like 8 mostly as i find doing nothing for 16 tends to drag on a bit but each to there own! Best bet is listen to some older classic stuff like early Mauro Picotto (Lizard/Iguana) or Ayla things like that! There wasnt as much going on with effects n things an them tunes r a bit more basic in there layout so its easier to hear when an where they r doing it! Try n imitate them n u will start to see how the whole thing goes together! :D

I havent got a clue wat alla of thqat means but im sure if i keep working at it i will eventually figure it out1
Thanks for the advice!!cheerssmilie

As u mess with it every now an again u will do something an will say to urself ah!! thats must have been what he was on about! Bein happnin to me like that for years! Same with mags n books i bought at first, hadnt got a clue what they were on about but a few months later id go back n read it again n some of it would start to make sense! Just a few months ago i went back to the first mag i bought that had masterin tips in it. i hadnt a clue first time i read it but now they make sense and r after doin wonders to my tunes! :D
