You also could try to rename your nexus .dll file, that's what prevented Sylenth1 from loading when I was trying to open the FLS project files.

I'd say to work on your leads a bit more before making preset packs/flp's. Don't get me wrong, some of these are fairly well-done, however there are others that are lacking or not close to the original tracks. Also, I think you need to pay some more attention to your reverbs, as they seem to drown the leads a little and not sit in the mix correctly.

i think in the case of only running one vst to one mixer channel to showcase a sound it hardly matters :P

In terms of CPU issues, yes, it won't matter, but it's more than that. You can eq specifically the reverb when using a send, rather than the entire sound itself. It just helps when you're able to process the reverb separately to the lead. Widening the reverb is an example of something that can be beneficial to your synths - the lead can maintain its stereo position while the reverb can make the lead appear nice and wide. Of course, sends are beneficial for so many reasons, but I was just mentioning two advantages in regards to leads.

You're preaching to the converted. I have been using my fx on buses for years and I am aware of the advantages. However I am also aware there is no right or wrong way to apply effects and know that a lot of producers, pro and am, prefer to use a wet/dry instead of a send, but that is for another topic. I just said for the sake of showcasing a lead sound for a remake, is there really much point in bus routing? I mean, the reverb in this case is probably only used for the sake of adding a bit of ambience so it doesn't sound so dry. It would be overkill and being anal for the sake of it.

Anyways, OT - nice work and will be useful for FL users

Why?

So what you're saying is that it's way better to unable the reverb on the vst and put a external reverb plugin?

I think he's saying not to put a sound trough more than one reverb. If you use VST's reverb then you don't add any later on. Reverb add's, I'll say harmonics cause I'm the additive synthesis guy, but it multiplies the sounds and if you do that twice it'll multiply the multiplied sounds and most commonly result in big issues.

And what I was saying was that when showcasing a lead, you'd obviously want to show something that's as close to the original as possible, which means effective use of reverb is going to play an important role in this. However, you know what you're talking about anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
