    Can you send me like a sample of the sound and screenshot of your project or something because I’m not sure why it’s not working.
    And send screenshot of your export sound settings

    Whats the -50 cents under those two beats supposed to mean?

    Press Ctrl + R and save a random sample.

    It's the pitch they're offset by

    Maybe its a bug with FL Studio. What if you just slide the beat down in the piano roll since that works for me.

    what does this part do
    f.write('["art/sound/engine/custom_sound/' + str(rpm) + '.wav", ' + str(rpm) + '],\n')
    f = open('blend_file_contents.txt', 'w')
    How do I change the name of the samples to be EXH_RPM_P? And is there a way to the exported sample loop for a certain amount of time?

    This is what I get when I open the 5400 rpm sample in edison and if delete all of that empty space it's still not smooth

    but at 750 rpms it's fine

    I did that on purpose because I like the sound

    That code generates a file (located in same folder as the Python script) referencing all the sound sample files. Copy and paste those into your sfxBlend2D.json file and remove the very last comma.

    So change line 41 to:
    Code:
    pyautogui.write("EXH_" + str(rpm) + "_P.wav")
    and change line 51 to (replace custom_sound to what the folder is called in your mod folder):
    Code:
    f.write('["art/sound/engine/custom_sound/EXH_' + str(rpm) + '_P.wav", ' + str(rpm) + '],\n')
    Make sure to indent those lines as how they were originally with tab button.

    If you don't mind sending me the FL studio project, I can try to get it to work since I'm not sure why its not working for you.

    Never mind. I got it to work, but after recording a few samples it keeps "Rendering to untitled.wav" and asking me if I want to replace it and it won't export anything else.

    You need to remove the wav files in the exported directory so that new ones can be generated.

    Something weird is happening. I have all the setting correct, but something doesn't seem right
    After recording all of the sample, if I try to increase the tempo while the sound is playing my cpu usage goes through the roof, as well as it snapping back to a 240 bpm no matter what bmp I'm at. When It's saving the samples at different bmps it does a lot of random/unnecessary clicking which could be why it does stuff like that. 2021-10-213.png

    But when I recorded some samples (using the same method) but by hand it sounded fine

    Do you find with my script that Windows is playing the asterisk sound effect (that annoying sound effect to tell you you can't do something)? Maybe its that my script is sending keystrokes too quickly. Try setting all the time.sleep function parameters to like 1 second (just replace all time.sleep(x) to time.sleep(1)) to give FL studio enough time to process things.

    That seemed to be better but it stayed at 42 bpm as it was recording the 950_P sample instead of going up. Random stuff keeps happening when it's recording, like windows getting maximized, and randomstuff being clicked even with the slower time.sleep. After Recording all the samples my cpu usage while just messing around with random "cylinder" amounts, shoots up to at least 80%. My cpu usage is fine before recording the samples.

    Is the FL Studio maximized and can you send a video of my script exporting the files.
    --- Post updated ---
    Oh and did you uncomment the time.sleep lines as well and set the delay to like 0.5 seconds or whatever (remove the # before the time.sleep())?
    --- Post updated ---
    This is what its supposed to look like when exporting:

    Also I updated the Python script so there's more delay just in case: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d96xoSg2moFkwpSVmYC6sT-RRI3BqCrg/view?usp=sharing

    Sorry about the length of the video, the time.sleep was set to 1


    This is what I mean by the cpu usage going through the roof. Before I ran the script it was fine and I could g oall the way to the other side without an issue

    Yeah it looks like time.sleep needs to be set much higher than 1 since it looks like FL studio takes quite a while to export the audio. This script shouldn't be causing lag so I think it has to do with your Timebase PPQ setting in the project settings (if you set it too high it will cause lag).

    And I've modified the script again but now it should work since it now gives FL studio 5 seconds to export the audio.

    My Timebase PPQ setting is 32 2 96
    and in the script: fl_studio_note_length_in_beats = 2 / 96
