On to the FL core challenge information. I've never spent so much time mixing and EQing as I did with this song. I used 39 mixer channels lol. Almost maxed out. I'll provide some links to pictures of my instruments and file.
Aight so, I started off with a vague idea that 3XOsc's are pretty awesome and now I know that they are more then awesome. To get a good sound though takes some time and effort. I layered 4 of the little buggers for my lead each with their own mixer channel. The INS of the 3XOsc is the most important part if you want a real nice filter and sound. I spent a few good hours working on the 3XOsc lead constantly adding body to it through the song. My lead bass and ARP looked something like this 3XOsc and TS404 Galore. .

Now my Automation isn't that complicated but it was a big part of the song. I honestly didn't use that many synthes as it might sound. My automation changed the synthe sound through filters and adding on to each. The bass changes from a hard bass to a softer one through out the song. It's doing this through a cutoff filter in the INS settings. A little look at al the settings and I got what I was looking for. I found that if I want a good airy reverb on my synthes it was just best to link it to another mixer channel. Doing this got rid of some of the annoying habits reverb can have when its directly placed on a mixer channel other then linked.
A closer look at my Mixer Channel.
If you want to know how to link a mixer channel to one another I took a crappy picture and kinda tried to explain it. It's really simple process. I did this for alot of my instruments and it got me higher quality sounds in my opinion though.

Other then that stuff there really isn't much to explain. I used the basic samples that came with FL and mixed them to a higher quality. some were layered like my leads. Some of the FX came from Demo projects that also come with every version of FL (a treasure trove of goodies). Sampling a 3XOsc woosh is also a nice way to make things easier and clean.
Sadly I won't explain how I made my leads thats for you to figure out. It's much easier to learn yourself then me telling you to turn these knobs. I will tell you that they are comprised of multiple TS404s and 3XOsc's.
Enjoy!

If you need anything explained or help with anything give me a MSN or AIM. Don't worry I'm not a prick who thinks his songs are amazing, I actually think every song I have could use some good amount of improvement.
If you want me to review a song leave a comment or review one of mine I sometimes check out songs of people who have reviewed me.
