Fruity Loops Studio Tutorial: Rendering Interface

Video Transcript

"And once you have finished making your song, well, you have to render it out to an MP3 or a WAV file, or even a MIDI file, and now I'll show you how to do that. Say you had a song going on here, just a pretty simple thing, you've got in your Playlist. There's your song, and you want to share it with the world. So what you want to do is you want to go up here to this button. This is a little save packet with a wave on top of it. Click that open and it will prompt you for a saving destination. Let's see, this has "Test", and that will bring up this window. Now you have your choices, you can either render it as a WAV, an MP3, or a MIDI, or you can render it as all three at once. MIDI requires special compensation on the part of the file that we'll discuss in a later day. I'm going to render it as an MP3. There's all kinds of settings you can do, the bit rate, 128k bit is the standard MP3, but you can go as high as 320 and as low as 32. Usually the program's going to have it set to whatever your processor can handle most. I have it set at 64 point sync, however, I can set it as high as 512. You will get this little warning window that tells you quite clearly that if your processor can't handle it, it will be slow as hell. However, it is really nice quality, and I think it's worth it. If you are going to render it, though, you can select this option here called "background rendering". When you render it normally, it will give you the thing over here, and it did it really fast, and that's pretty much what happens. But if you do background rendering, it will minimize the program and you can do other processes on your computer. It will be slower, but you can still do other stuff. Normally you really can't do anything while rendering because of the processing usage."
