i found a couple of posts with a similar topic in a search but none that fix my problem...

when i have live open and try to open fruity loops I get an error message that says: Failed to ope the FL Studio audio engine, Another instance may already be running, if not, try to reset the FL settings

how can i solve this problem?
...my third hurdle in a week

just stop using fruity loops and get a real program....that or replace FL with Music Generator for the PS2.

j/k

fruity loops is the best program ever invented...for the musically challenged

on another note...why do the fruity loops wav files sound like pure distortion when i try and preview them in live

Just opened FLstudio with Live 5 Demo running (and FL studio running in VSTi mood). No problem here.
Maybe you can run FL studio as a Vsti in Live.

I've had rewire problems. FL will give some weird "access violations" or something like that randomly.

FL is really good for creating grooves. Thumbs for it.

But not as a main DAW. It's automation/routing scheme sucks.

well i'm going back to fruity cause i'm sick to death of live. I think it needs to decide whether its dj tool or sequencer.

and sort out the rendering

just curious: what problem(s) do you find with Live's rendering?

It sounds like Fruity Loops is not recognizing that there is a rewire app running, so it's trying to reopen the audio driver. Make sure that Fruity Loops rewire functionality is enabled. To do this choose "Install Plugin Version" under the advanced menu in the FLStudio menu in Windows Start menu (Windows Start->FL Studio 5->Advanced->Install Plugin Version). This will ask you if you wnat to enable rewire functionality. Then launch Live before launching FLStudio.

Goodness, you must be really kicking youself considering all the money you've invested buying Live.

yeah I know tell me about it, I have written several tracks in live using the same plugins synths and using the same mixing process. When i render it and compare it too fruity, fruity just sounds fuller and smoother.

Why not take those files and fix em up in Pro Tools? You might get better results

i think pro tools is a little out of my budget and If I get the sound I want from one program why get another.

cheers for the replies
