You try a restart?

full restart of the computer...no....think i should give it a shot?

Sure thing. If a file is missing or was shut down by another program, (like and anti-virus program) a full restart would get that file going again.

another thing i dont understand i have an average of 5 or 6 patterns going in this song...

any other ideas...im messing with the buffer and its doing nothing.

Are the patterns similar? A lot of times if you have 2 similar instruments hitting at the same time, they can cancel each other out. Try offsetting one pattern a little and see if that changes anything.

they are the same instrument....different patterns though....i just dont get how it worked earlierr......what do you mean by offset?

Well the magic of Fruity Loops, is that sometimes when you save a pattern and exit, it clumps everything together. Meaning, it may not have the same timing as you started with. When you make a pattern, it uses those blocks to determine when each instrument is supposed to strike. Try moving each strike down one block to offset the pattern from the other. You can move it back after you've finished. Its a program glitch.

alright well moving the one pattern offset from the other, saving, then moving it back made them sound better when played at the same time...but still has the cutting in and out effect...

i could send the project to someone with FL to check out

Yeah FL is kinda strange like that. I started using MPC and Acid now.
