While the figures are still very modest the graph above shows the difference of highlighting one of your YouTube videos to the relevent audience. Over the weekend the video which was about the automatic manipulation of Cherry Audio plugins with the Novation FLKey keyboards, which had previously only managed to attract 50 views, got a...

At the time of writing, Softube has two magnificent Plugin Instruments that were crying out to be added to the automatic automation that can be achieved using Python scripting in FL Studio for this set of keyboards. Model 72 (MiniMoog Model "D" from 1972) https://youtu.be/UPVMgBd8TK4 Quite possibly the best emulation of a MiniMoog which also... Continue Reading →
Having bought both the FLKey mini (for Laptop use) and FLkey 37 (Home Studio use) I finally got around to looking at the free instrument plugins!

So via the wonders of Scripting, it is possible to get great use out of products that were never really intended for consumption by FL studio.

But what if your Control Surface manufacturer doesn't make an extender... Continue Reading →
After installing the Eucon Client service and the "EU Control" it was relatively easy to get the Mix working over an ethernet connection to my PC (literally just an ethernet cable from the back of my PC into the back of the Mix). The Control software for the mix and other AVID/Euphonix devices I should... Continue Reading →
