yeah, thanx for the feed Xclusive. appreciate it. and shonj, i work on fl3 but now, i imported the sounds from fl4. but that's not on any of the beats i have up, i'll add them later. even though i've been working on the beatcreator demo, i like how it works as opposed to the fruityslicer. i had a demo version. how is the fruityslicer compared to the beatcreator?
