Fez of Mahrez Posted 18 December 2007 Share Posted 18 December 2007 Just testing the water to see if we have any experts. I've just purchased something for the PC called FL Studio to play about with. Downloaded a demo last night and had fun creating a drum loop and adding a bassline etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downloaded a demo last night and had fun creating a drum loop and adding a bassline etc. This is where (IAC) my Mrs and son post their music it's mostly amateur stuff although you can sell if you find a buyer. I'm sure they'd offer loads of advice, views etc. It's American based, aren't they all but they have contributors from all over the world and all types of music.

Guest Posted 18 December 2007 Share Posted 18 December 2007 I use Logic Pro / Pro Tools but it kinda depends on what you need it for really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillehamring Posted 18 December 2007 Share Posted 18 December 2007 FL is entry level and no doubt fun, can't imagine it offers much in the way of sequencing or processing if you wanna make loops and drum lines, go for reason - harder to obtain but it's all out there, and way more sophisticated everything i did here is done in reason... oh, and yes IAC would welcome you gladly however good you are, but you need to have some music first!

James. Posted 18 December 2007 Share Posted 18 December 2007 Indeed!What say you? I produced a bit of drum n bass using it while I was at Uni and a mate of mine got heavily into it. If you can persevere with the sheer number of dials, functions, etc then you can do some fairly decent stuff. I have background in classical music including theory but this really wasn't required for using that software, i.e. it's relatively user-friendly. Ultimately you're limited by the quality of the sound samples available which is why to move on to the next level you'd need better software and a keyboard. One thing you may want to do is PM a poster called koop. who has posted links to stuff he has produced on here before (his tunes were actually really impressive).

mancunianfox Posted 21 December 2007 Share Posted 21 December 2007 Fruity Loops is really good fun and a good way of learning the features of a sequencer and in using softsynths. If the bug bites though you'll have Cubase, Ableton and more VST plugins than you really know what to do with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fez of Mahrez Posted 7 January 2008 Author Share Posted 7 January 2008 so, when are we gonna get to hear some stuff? Funny you should mention that, I've completed something - of sorts. Given that it's a first attempt I don't think it's that bad. Will upload it at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
