Hi there,

Well, it's described in the help for FTS but no harm in repeating it here.

I write the pieces in NoteWorthy Composer, and relay them through FTS
for retuning - and write the tuning on the piece so that I know how to retune it in
future.

NoteWorthy respects all the repeats and tempo indications and everything so I
just play it in NWC and then record it to waveform audio in FTS as it plays.
Then convert to mp3 using RazorLame. FTS is also able to call Lame
to do it itself.

For instruments I usually use Giga, or the FM7 or the SB Live! Add a little reverb
using the SB Live to give a feeling of atmosphere / location to it.

When improvising, just improvise in FTS and record to midi - then if I want waveform audio,
play the midi file back using the same setup as I had when improvising,
and record it to waveform audio.

Can't think of anything else to say right now - unless anyone wants to know
details of something.

Thanks,

Robert
