Fruity Loops in GT Pro 3 No Playback

Hi Bill

I'm not quite sure what's happening here!

Clicking on 'FruityLoops Express' in the Tools menu of either GT version just opens the program as a standalone; it's not 'tied' to GT in any way.

It's just a shortcut to the location on your hard drive Bill, I think it defaults on installation to Programs>FruityLoops Express.

To show this, open up GTP2 and then open up FruityLoops - click on a few of instruments in the default kit and press Play. In the meantime you can close GTP2 but FruityLoops should carry on playing the pattern - you should be able to open up GT3 in the meantime.

BTW Bill, going back to what I said about making your own drum loops, you can use FruityLoops to do this much easier than the way I mentioned; we'll come to that another time - lets get this problem sorted first!

Ok Bill, first off, put a shortcut for FruityLoops (FL) on your desktop so you don't need to open GT to access it every time.

Start>My Computer>HDD>Programs>FruityLoops Express - inside this folder, right click on the FruityPro.exe icon and choose Send to>Desktop (create shortcut)

Double click on the shortcut to open FL and hit F6 on your keyboard to open the Environment Settings>Wave tab (or use Options>Wave settings).

Tell me what you see in the 'Output DirectSound driver' field Bill - it should either say 'Primary Sound Driver' which it defaults to or meybe the name of your soundcard. If '(none)' appears there, open the drop-down list and see if either your soundcard or 'Primary Sound Driver' is listed, if so, click on each of them in turn and see if FL starts producing audio again.

OK now i got it back. I had to go back into fruity loops then restart GT3
