Hey there all, i figured post a thread with multiple questions so i don't fill up the thread . Ok, here we go.

======When making voice files======
1. Make my voice deeper? Since i'm only 12, my voice isn't all that deep.
2. Are there any other programs that allow me to make voice files, other than "Sound Recorder"?

======When using FL Studio 8======
1. Is there any way to easily understand Styrus? The videos are really confusing for me.

Ok, thats basically everything i needed to ask. Thanks.

It's very hard i think to make it sound real, but you could try messing with the pitch controls and sliders inside the Flstudio sampler. Maybe add an eq and increase the lower frequencies to get a little bass in there.

You could use Flstudio to do that, i believe there is a video tutorial on how to record audio in fl on the flstudio webpage. Or you could download and use audacity wich is a free audio recording/editing program.

It's all about learning how to use your synth, there is no easy and fast way, or a quick route on how to learn to use it. If you keep at it making your own presets and playing around with it then you'll eventually get better and better. Personally i wouldn't spend money on sytrus, i've been using the 3xOsc wich is an amazing synth that can produce quality results that are equal in quality as something sytrus makes. And it comes for free with flstudio.

I hope that answers your questions a little, if you've ever got more questions on how to use fl, feel free to ask here and i'll try to help you

Have fun playing around with fl!

It will help if you try to talk with a slight croak or rasp, if done right it can add to the realism. If not done right . . . it's a little awkward. But it's usually awkward without it anyway.

I recommend getting your dad, or uncle, or teacher, or something to record the dialogue. Even if their voice isn't as deep as you want, it already has the qualities of a sampled adult voice, so it will be easier to pitch shift and bass boost to make it deeper.

Ok, I have yet again another question. How can I make my music loop? It always stutters at the end and starts up again. It's not a steady flow like it is in FL9. Any help greatly appreciated

What i do is that i copy the ending of the song inside the flstudio playlist and paste it into the beginning of the song. Then i load it up in edison in flstudio and i cut the ending part from the beginning. That way the song starts with all the instrument release and reverb&delay that you get inside flstudio and loops much better.

ok, now how exactly would I copy it? i can't seem to do the ctrl + V, and do i need to reinstall FL9? Its saying I need the ASIO drivers.

Also, I took the song you showed us how to make in the 'effects tutorial' and I spiced it up a bit. I think it's too fast, if you have the time, can you check it out? its at the bottom of this post

Ctrl + C is Copy, Ctrl + V is paste.

About the ASIO drivers, download ASIO4All from: http://asio4all.com/

FPSCNoob,

I haven't used the recent versions of FL Studio much, so I don't know what it has in terms of audio editing capabilities. If it doesn't let you edit your bounced WAV file, you're going to want to do the editing in something like Audacity or Adobe Soundbooth. Also, check to see if FL9 has an option for bouncing on the second loop cycle, this would fix the clicking automatically for you.

If you're not concerned about preserving left over reverb and instrument decays (ie: they're quiet enough to not notice, but loud enough to give you a click), then a quick solution would be to add a very short fadeout at the end of the loop, and a very short fadein at the beginning of the loop.

The reason it clicks is because at the end of your song, the amplitude of your waveform is considerably greater than 0. Anytime a transition from one waveform to the next is not smooth you'll get a click.

Hold down the left control button to drag over multiple patterns or tracks on the playlist, then ctrl + c and v should do the trick

Good job with the song
