oh yea, it's the Trash Bin folder (C:Program Files/FL Studio 9/Trash Bin/Backup), the file is called Backup and it only saves the last project you were working on before closing (or crashing).

Note in folder:
"When you overwrite a song file, the previous one is not really overwritten, instead it's placed here as a backup, so that in case you made a mistake your project is not lost."

guess it's a good backup plan for when you phuk up and save a new file over an old one unintentionally.

i'ma try to keep it simple...

open a new project in FL Studio

click on Channels in the toolbar>Add One>ReWired

click on the ReWired channel in the Step Sequencer

when the Channel Settings box appears, change Client to Reason & switch on Multi Outputs below that

click on Show Panel and Reason will open

there will be two warning boxes, just click OK on both

the Hardware Device in Reason should say ReWire Slave Mode

hit the Tab button and add an instrument from the Tool Window (i.e. NN19, NN-XT, Malstrom, etc)

leave Audio Outs 1 & 2 on the Hardware Device free (disconnect any instruments)

connect the Mono/Left Audio Output from your added instrument to Audio Out 3 on the Hardware Device

(as you add instruments connect them to the Hardware Device in sequential order starting with #3)

back in FL Studio, click on Channels in the toolbar>Add One>MIDI Out

click on the MIDI out channel in the Step Sequencer

when the Channel Settings box appears, change Channel to 2 and Port to 1

click on the ReWired channel in the Step Sequencer

when the Channel Settings box appears, click on MIDI Options

the Channels list on the right shows your added instruments (Hardware Interface should be first, followed by your instruments)*

the Mappings list on the left is where you will add Map ports

below this list you will change Map to Input and port to 1, click on Add/Change

repeat this process for as many instruments as you will add in Reason, increasing the port # of course for each one

create/insert/add a MIDI out channel in the FL step sequencer for every instrument you add in Reason

the channel setting for each MIDI out channel in the step seq should correspond with the # of the instr in the MIDI Options channel list*

Condenser Mic's for vocals. I personally like the Shure KSM 44 or the AT 4033. Both got a reasonable price and sound damn good.

Put the mic in the Cardiod pattern, (not the full circle, the half circle) so that the Mic only picks up sound from the front. If you dont have a sound proof booth I would say the best way is to probably get some foam or somethin and put on your wall to dead the room. Try to put your mic in a corner or a room somewhere away from the equipment (computers, etc.) because they give off noise that is damn near impossible to filter out.

If you have one, use a noise reduction tool, its just like a surgical eq that cuts out extraneous noise and shit. I know Pro Tools got one, IDK about the other programs. Because I swear, I'm workin with my cousin on his album, that nigga records in his closet, and I be bout to lose my damn mind at the noise in the acapella.

I have this prob but if ur buffer is at 1024 ur shits gonna go off.. Go to the lowest buffer to get it to land on the grid right

Ummm shit, I usually record midi shit in pro tools to an audio track, but even then the shit dont quantize like I want it to. I like for shit to be right on the grid.

So i just fuck wit reason right now until I can get in a studio with all the protools shit set up. We just got one funky ass motif rack, and a midi controller. Thats about it. No MPC, no other synths, just that and imagination.

But uhh yeah, Try starting off beats with different parts. I usually always start with a melody, then hats, drums, then chords, then add lil extra shit. U might make your ideas better if you start with chords, or if you start with the drums.

I dont sample tho, I wanna try that shit just to fuck around. Any tips on that?

Aww yeah I know a lot about synthesizers too so any questions on what all the knobs do on them just ask
