Mix in FL!!! Master in FL!!!
ok..we got everything sequence out..beat done. voilaa...so instead of layering/painting it out on the playlist and mixing it..i wanna sort of export it track by track..instrument by instrument..outside of FL..how do i do it? track by track..instrument by instrument..same arrangement as i do on the playlist except that i wanna mix it in a diff platform and i dont want to screw the tempo and all that up...tried doin it and mixing in cool edit..i got confuse and f*** everything up..so whats the best way to do and what software yall recommend i mix in as a starter? thankx..
cheerz!
Bounce to .wav and "split mixer tracks" to individual channels... that's it! BOUNCE TO 16-bit WAV (don't use the 32-bit option if you want to use the files with Pro-Tools, don't bounce to mp3 (that would be retarded)... and don't dither at this point... do HQ mode...
Note: make sure each element is assigned an individual channel or this will not work as intended... if you have FX on the send channels, keep in mind that they are SENDS and will be bounced as an individual track so the channels that were sending signal to those FX will sound dry after you bounce them...
If you are importing the stems to Pro-Tools, don't include the channel that says MASTER... thats the whole f**king song and if you are having someone else work on it they'll realize you are a idiot!

wouldnt it be better just to save it as a .midi file to mix on somthin diff???
What!!! did you even read the question??? whatta f**k are you going to do with a MIDI file???
Anyways...
My question to you is... why??? unless you absolutely need to lay your beat on a different platform to carry it over to say Pro-tools for a studio recording session... I don't really see a reason to do this... my suggestion to your last question: - "what software yall recommend i mix in as a starter?" - I would recommend you start with FL to mix...
*** Bottom line is, if the track is not sounding good in FL, bouncing it .wav and putting it in Pro-Tools, Cubase or whatever is not going to suddenly improve the sonic quality of the piece... in other words YOU CAN'T POLISH A TURD MANG, YOU DIG...
check out my stuff, 100% composed, arranged, mixed and mastered with FL Studio 7...
