| 134 |
- It's everywhere, except several samples |
| 135 |
- We can automate a clip even in BPM (default 130) |
| 136 |
^ The length of time of the automation clip is always full |
| 137 |
- If we want a shorter length, we have to select on the workplace a section before (Ctrl + LBM) |
| 138 |
- Then, we create the automation clip |
| 139 |
^ The automation clip appears in an empty place |
| 140 |
- We can add point on the diagram of the automation clip, just RBM on the line |
| 141 |
- We can copy points |
| 142 |

- Loop: is a sample of a ready part of a sound (musical instruments, wind, rain, etc.); it can be also a ready melody |
| 179 |
d) If a sample a long, it's called a 'Track' |
| 180 |
^ A ready part of kicks or others that are repeated is a loop or more accurate is a drum loop |
| 181 |
^ Kick -- is a barrel or bas-barrel |
| 182 |
a) It's impossible to confuse because it kicks and has a bass part |
| 183 |

^ Hat -- often used on rock-performances when musicians hit on the copper doubled hats |
| 185 |

| 192 |
^ Shift + LBM on the trigger (on/off) of a track make a lock |
| 193 |
^ .flp file can't contain outer samples, so we need a better variant of saving |
| 194 |
a) Always save .flp together with included samples, creating archive |
| 195 |
b) Save as (Shift + Ctrl + S) > choose .zip instead of .flp |
| 196 |
c) In .zip archive will be all outer samples and .flp |
| 197 |
d) Always save in latin |
| 198 |
e) For several days we save in .flp, for long a period of time in .zip |
| 199 |
- For finished project we also save in .zip |
| 200 |
^ Saving in other audio formats |
| 201 |
a) File > Export |
| 202 |

- tick Enable master effects |
| 219 |
f) Click Start where after rendering we'll hear a short nice sound |
| 220 |
^ MP3 format is for finished project |
| 221 |
a) It compresses and removes sth from composition, usually sounds that a person can't hear |
| 222 |
b) If we made a cool, for instance, kick and want to save it as a sample, use WAV format |
| 223 |
^ WAV format doesn't compress a file |
| 224 |
a) WAV bit depth (default 16Bit int), better do 24Bit int |
| 225 |
- 16Bit is a CD format, slightly compressed |
| 226 |
- Enough 24Bit |
| 227 |
b) WAV format is at ten times more than MP3 format |

| 243 |
- They're in Mixer |
| 244 |
b) Installed is about outer installed plugins |
