I'm a total newbee to music production. just got hold of fruity loops 9 producer edition.
firstly i wanna know how to add a new effect to a channel only in a particular part of my track. do i need to add a new channel for it?
secondly with all the effects turned on for all the inserts in the mixer i'm getting a scratchy mp3 output.
it may be cuz i have a, well not very good sound card n sound system. would the mp3 sound fine in a high end machine? or is it that the composing should also be done on a high end system.
lastly what are the minimum recommendation for sound card n speaker system? n i'm interested in psytrance production so i'd be grateful if the experienced ones could provide links for vsti s suitable for psy.

hi man
1 - u have 2 right click on channel
- go to inserts
- click 'more...'
- refresh and fast scan
2 - if your master peak meter is red and not blue you are clipping and should make it so it will no be that way
u have a looooooooooong way infront of u
good luck

First of all you need to assign an instrument to a mixer channel.
To do so you simply click on the instrument in your patterns window. A small box will appear (behind the actual synth in most cases), and in the upper right corner you will see something called "FX Channel". Put it to whatever value fits you.
Now open your mixer and that specific channel your instrument is currently assigned to and
put your desired plugin into that channel and it will appear on the stack to the right.
On the right hand of your plugin you just loaded there is a small volume knob, right click on that and select "create automation clip".
The automation clip will now show up in the track section and you will be able to adjust it as you see fit, throughout the whole track.

red means BAD!! its that simple.. every red clipping channel steals headroom thus if you want to make another sound louder you go further in the red cluttering your mix in the proccess.
second you dont hear clpping cos 32bit engines have LOTS of headroom BUT.. when you export the track for mastering no headroom means no way to correct things or rise rms for a balanced volume output + propably resulting in a distorted mix.
keep at least a -3db headroom for your track and i mean not by lowering the master volume.
master should be left alone and make a good balanced mix with a healthy heqdroom for the mastering proccess.
avoid clipping your individual channels.
and no compressors or limiters in the master channel.
having a low volume on your exported tracks isnt a bad thing.
what you want is a clean and well balanced mix... volume is fixed after.
we usually have a -4-6 db headroom on the exported track.

it's not personal choice when you have gain altering devices on your mixer track.
eg, if you have a distortion unit and you're making heavy use of it, lowering volume in the pattern maker, you'll just have 1. another result in the character of the sound, and 2. most probably same volume as before.
mixer for adjusting levels 100%.

the default limiter on the master track is a fail of image-line. put it out always.
