a big part of fruity's charm is that it is simple, but that also means
that it is very limited. i constantly run into problems with the fact
that there are only 16 effects busses and only 4 aux sends, i could
easily use up 3 of the aux sends on just my basses alone.
yes, but this is also a by-product of how you work. With any gear, limitations force you to rethink your process and in many cases spur you towards insipration. For example, it sounds to me like you are "designing" sounds on the fly using fruitys plugins and effects (3 sends on basses!!??). Id recommend this as a supplement to using raw samples, not a primary means of getting sounds If you need to do this, a solution would be to resample your sounds by exporting to wav and importing them back to free those FX tracks. A better approach however might be to do sound design through other means (like an outboard synth, sampler, or softsynth) and import into Fruity sounds that are "polished" somewhat, rather than taxing your CPU/FX tracks making sounds out of the plugins. Of course this would take a reshift in your style of workflow. Fruity is FAAR from perfect ( your right about the gate time of samples- a pain) , but I wouldbnt begrudge it things like number of effects, since 16 plus 4 sends is plenty if you know how to work with it. Keep in mind early records were made with much less. :) ---
