This video shows users how to run FL Studio as a VST inside another digital audio workstation (or DAW). In this video, I am using Ableton Live 9 Lite to run FL Studio as a VSTi. When you download FL Studio, the two VST plugins (VSTi and VSTi (Multi)) should have also downloaded somewhere to your computer. If you want to run FL Studio and route individual instruments from FL Studio into Ableton, you should use the VSTi (Multi). However, if you're like me and can only have a maximum total of 8 mixer tracks in Ableton Live because you are using the Lite version (or if you simply don't need to route FL Studio instruments into Ableton's mixer), it makes more sense to run the VSTi plugin. If you need to do separate signal processing, you can just do that within FL Studio's mixer, and then use Ableton's 7 other channels for Ableton related things. It is important to note that when running a setup like this, the "Master Out" is located within Ableton. EVERY sound you hear or play will go through the master, enabling you to record ALL audio from both DAWs running simultaneously (that is, unless you specifically tell the channel NOT to go out through the master). The nice thing about this is that you are able to apply effects on instruments from both Ableton and FL Studio. Also, if you're using any Novation gear like me but mainly use FL Studio, this setup allows you to have the best functionality with your equipment (Novation is designed to work best with Ableton Live). I will be doing a lot more with Ableton and the Novation equipment I have (new launchpad pro, launch control, etc).
QUESTION: How do you route individual channels from FL to Ableton with the VSTi (Multi)?
Here's a video tutorial that explains it: [ Ссылка ]
Additionally, here are the steps written out:
All you need to do is load up your FL Studio Multi Vsti. Now, go into your FL Studio mixer, and notice how the master channel's output (at the bottom below the equalizer) is set to FL 1. Leave it this way. The outputs for each instrument on your mixer are not set yet. All you need to do is put the instruments you want onto separate output channels (FL 2-16). So you can have up to a max of 15 instruments in Ableton (FL 1 is reserved for the main VSTi channel in Ableton). Then, for each instrument you want to load into Ableton, you need a separate additional MIDI channel. Put the settings like this:
Audio From: 1-
FL Studio VSTi (Multi)
Then, for the channel, set it to whatever stereo channel it's set to in FL Studio. For example, if the instrument is set to FL 3 in FL Studio's mixer, it would be FL 3L/FL 3R- FL Studio VSTi (Multi).
Monitor should be set to "In" and Audio To: Sends Only.
Now, when you play an instrument from FL Studio, you should see it's feedback in three places: The main FL Studio VSTi (Multi) channel, its unique MIDI channel, and the Master Out in Ableton.
Also, there is another method that can achieve similar results using a rewiring plugin. FL Studio comes with a plugin called rewire than can allow you to "wire" individual audio tracks into Ableton via MIDI Out. It is a bit more complicated, but if requested, I can also do a video on this.
Let me know what you guys think about this setup, and tell me about any cool tips and tricks that will speed up the learning process in Ableton. Thanks, and please like and subscribe if you enjoyed. These videos take hard work, and when people subscribe and give active, intellectual feedback, it really fuels my ability to grow this channel. I couldn't do any of this without you guys(:
