#Horrible delay on midi input for shaperbox
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
yeah it’s an issue because midi isn’t a part of fl studios plugin delay compensation engine
so this is always going to sound weird until the team addresses this
if all you want to do is volume automation
the best thing to do is to use fl studios controllers to make a signal
you could use envelope controller and draw that exact graph and send the signal out to a volume modifier like fruity balance
quick demo
[ i set the mode to unipolar and inverted the envelope, (the amount is negative) ]
every time i reach for help with something about fl studio i end up dissapointed bruh, worst 200$ spent, still, thank you so much for the help, i'll try that method
aye if things go well i think nows the best time to own fl studio
but theyre working on these issues, specifically on latency, performance and workflow they'll be some great improvements soon (fl26-fl28 is gonna be an insane run) so just hang in there
hopefully youve figured it out by now
i just want to clarify what i did there was volume automation, but its gating (sound to silence) the signal if you want a pumping/ducking (silence to sound) automation you'd set the base as the minimum and the envelope amount as the maximum
been hanging there since 2019 
yeah i did figure out this method, it works by now
😭 let them cook
it sucks but idk i just keep myself busy cause theres so much we can learn
every time i learn more about fl studio, the less i like it bruh
but rent is more important than ableton so i'm stuck with fruity loops
the good thing is that there are workarounds to make fl at least somewhat usable
nah thats fair
ableton has a rent to own option, not sure how much youve learnt about ableton but the grass is probably not gonna be greener there
Fwiw, Shaperbox supports audio input/sidechain trigger, which is latency compensated.
Its one of the most convenient work arounds for me.
the thing i like about ableton is that the playlist and mixer arent seaparte worlds, the sampling modes, the automations and a lot more
been using the trial a lot and experimenting with it
||btw, i dont like rent to own, i prefeer having the full amount first||
fair
i also like the linear work flow
to some extent
but i prefer automation clips instead of automaton lanes
