Some cool features and some hang ups . .
Once a sample has been treated with effects or EQ etc via the mixer or on the playlist, this sample, it's treatments, equalization, effects and all it's automation are basically lost! because they cannot be saved or browsed easily as one file IMO. If your working with samples it's vital that your'e able to (preview/Load your "treated" samples, immediately play them on your keyboard to see if they work with your project). Unfortunately in FL all this data is effectively locked to the project it was created in, almost irretrievably infact, the only option open to you being that you can go through the extreamly lengthy process of loading all the separate files (automation clips, audio clips controller data, note data) and re-link all of them, (all your work) on the playlist back to it's respective plugins/mixer channels etc. This is extreamely confusing and only after all this will you be able to preview the work that you have done on your sample, and then be able to decide weather you want to use it in a project.
The workaround's are just that unfortunately ie Directwave & the FL sampler, these will not in any way come close to offering you anything like as much functionality as the playlist/mixer combined, by way of effects, envelopes, equalization or their gui's, so it's back to the playlist for your samples . . .and then what exactly?
It sends shivers down my spine just thinking of the months of work the hours of sample treatment that I have done which is now lost in this mess of a fileing system,, it is very depressing indeed.
So whats the solution . . it is sadly that you have to look elsewhere for a sampler, maybe something like Kontakt. and resign FL studio to the simple role of just sequencing, hosting plugins and mixing . . . certainly not sampling anymore!
My Question is: Given that my samples are going to have to be hosted within a separate vst like Kontakt, what similar problems am I going to encounter, for example: to what extent am I going to be inconvenienced by having to change parameters within an external sampler in comparison to working with them solely in FL? Can Kontakt host other vst's like Your favorite comb filter for example?
I hate to gripe at you guys (Image-line) but you could have provided FL with a decent sampler couldn't you? How about something that can also host vst effects? that would be good.
