Maxed Out Patterns in FL Studio

[azuk]

I've been working on a project, and I've used up all 999 patterns, and I don't want to bounce stuff out as audio cause I'm out of RAM too.

Anyone have a fix?

[Benji]

I'm sure using bounced audio uses less RAM

[azuk]

I'm really sure there's some option for me to combine all of them together.

I'm not sure. Maybe, I'll try that.

fucking serious, what in gods name to did you use a thousand patterns for? And bouncing MIDI to audio would use more ram.

Audio gets loaded on RAM. MIDI uses CPU.

Screechy Mid-range grindy noises.

EDIT: Yeah audio kills my RAM

Just delete the project and make some deep tunes like a #truhed. Only need like 4 patterns for that max.

I try my best not to waste about 100 hours of worktime. But honestly, does anyone have a answer? I need to finish this project.

Bouncing out stems is your only option really. I don't mean bouncing out every single channel as its own file, I mean actually stemming things out so you only have a few wave files, since you seem to have hit a ram wall too. You're gonna have to commit some shit instead of leaving every single blip as its own clip.

Or you could just save all the midi files, and transfer them to another daw like Reaper that doesn't have limits on patterns or mixer channels or whatever and finish it there.

Can't you just consolidate a bunch of patterns into one big pattern by copy/pasting?

I still don't know how you managed to use 999 patterns. Is your track 4 hours long or something?

[Karoshi]

I really wanna hear what a song sounds like with 999 patterns in it

[mromgwtf]

jesus 999 patterns

highlight the patterns you want to merge then select 'merge similar pattern clips' in the pattern editor's drop down menu

@OP: I'm sure there is a way to combine tracks down to something reasonable. I'm sorry, but honestly, it sounds like you are just being ridiculous with all those patterns. I know this sounds tired, grumpy and old man-ish, but what would you do if you didn't have all that? Said it before and I will again: current DAWs are almost too powerful, too many options, too much bullshit to get caught up in. I'd actually be curious to hear the track myself....

[Bass_Jacka]

Are you for real??

How can you even work with that many patterns. This is just ridiculous! Even the most hyped up fucked up brostep track with shit loads of 'Mid-range grindy noises' wouldn't require such a superfluous amount of patterns! Sounds like you're making a shit load work for yourself.

[Crimsonghost]

Pics or it didnt happen.

You haven't used 999 patterns.
If you have, I really don't know how.
How have you not maxed out the 99/199 tracks on the playlist too?

Why not just consolidate patterns, i.e. the whole section of a song on one pattern.

Thanks, I've used this feature before, but couldn't find it again.


The reason why I have a crapload of patterns is because I'm using Stutter Edit, on ~10 different tracks, and that's a lot of patterns, because I'll make unique and then just change a 1 bar pattern, I find it really hard to use small notes with out zooming in, and that zooming in kills my workflow

[mthrfnk]

Still don't get how you can physically manage 999 patterns.

Thanks, I've managed to get down to about 200 patterns.

[darkshadows7]

lets hear that track.

[SunkLo]

Yeah hah I wanna hear it too. Guessing it sounds like if you layered a bunch of skrillex songs with amon tobin's latest album and threw the whole thing through DB Glitch.
