Could be one of two things AFAIK -

1) improper eqing

2) crappy audio engine

I don't know how good Fruity Loops' audio engine is, but it may just not
process sound as well as other programs. I had a big problem with muddiness
at first too. Of course, I didn't know shit about EQing back then either.

I don't know how familiar you are with mixing down but being pretty new to
it myself i've had a bunch of problems dealing with muddiness.

A good guideline to go by for making your mix less muddy:

MOST ELEMENTS CAN STAND TO HAVE A NOTCH TAKEN OUT OF THE MIDRANGE
FREQUENCIES. Usually stuff gets muddy around here.

Sorry if I didn't tell you anything you already know. Tell us a little more
about the steps you take to do a mixdown and maybe i (or someone else here)
can be of more assistance!

Hello there forum!!!!

I have a question if anyone would be decent enough to answer.

Production wise I use fruityloops and vst plugins to create the
sounds I am after but the sound from the overall mix I find is
quite muddy and not so crisp sounding.

Is there any one thing that I should be paying particular attention
to in so far as the mixdown goes or do you feel it is a problem
inherent with fruityloops?

Any comments would be most appreciated.
