Well 2 days ago I d/l-ed fruityloops and yesterday evening I already tried to make something. I never made music before (except for playing piano) so don’t expect anything of it please. I’m sure that I’m not even familiar with most features of the program yet (effects and stuff..), still I decided to just try and make something. I’m not posting this in order to get positive reactions (I’m not that naïve :D ), but purely to ask you ‘professionals’ what I should add/leave out etc. you know, more like tell me everything that’s not good about it (I know already that I shouldn’t only use FL-samples but make my own also..i’ll do that) I’d really like some advice. It’s pretty simplistic and only 1:49 short, so please: thanks in advance :) |

though i'm not a pro at all i still found it interesting to hear, but morton kid the things i heard yesterday were also cool, why not adding those too?? You really can't go wrong here! (except about that bass-blasting at 01:00 AM !!!!) just kidding So, too bad i cannot provide you with any advice as i'm not in this fruityloops at all. When you have your own samples it will give it a totally more personal sound, i'm sure. Keep up te good work! I'm expecting your first album next week! |

well don't expect any intelligent comments from me... i know nothing about musicmaking at all, i couldn't tell a piano from a guitar ;-) But still, i think this sounds nice. It's not very original, and the beats sound rather simple (i like that little rattling-sound that keeps popping up though). I thought anyone's first attempt at writing a song would be one simple beat with random synthesizer notes over it or something ;-) But this sounds rather coherent already... if you keep practicing and getting better at it, i could imagine you creating some beautiful boc-like tracks. So overal opinion: not bad at all for a first attempt, doe zo voort! :-) |

Im new to writing music myself and I must say that for your first attampt it really is something! I really like the melody in the background Stick with it you've got something |
||||||||

I liked your song. Its better than mine. The fact that you presented it to us inpires me to do the same. Here's my first attempt. oh yeah, it sucks. I just thought Morton would appreciate that he wasnt alone in this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i like your beats more than mine, and you already put an own sample in (i only used FL-samples) it's a pretty funny track :) btw thx everyone for your comment |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
downloaded it... that was the orionsting sample eh? :p well definately not bad for a first try! liked the kinda bubbly sound surrounded mentioned... its a good idea to just use the standard floops stuff, and make some basic tunes, you'll start to get the hang of it in no time |
||||||||

"If Morton can post his songs, why can't I?!" :) I'm uploading to zebox right now, my third attempt in my whole key-twiddling history. Inspired by this outstanding act of publicity :) And your (Morton's) song is much better than all my work up to date. Why? I don't know. I don't have luck nor talent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice one. bu try to change the samples as soon as possible |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i first try some more with floops-samples just to (as JAroen said) get the hang of it, 'cause at this moment i don't know most features of the program yet, then i'll start making my own samples btw it's good to hear i'm not the only one who just started with this music-making stuff (cheers rookies ;) ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ow and try to experiment with some filters too if youve got the basics, they are a great to enhance your work, alot can be done with em |
||||||||

features heavily treated vocal samples of ME and the starting chord from Polygon Window's Audax Powder. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
*to you from early 2000. it's actually simplistic as hell. Maybe it's because I didn't like Autechre back then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
couldn't open the link (no acces or something) but i just typed 'skyfarmer' at zebox i liked your track esp. the first part :) where did you get the samples for the beat? are they f-loops'? i don't know how to edit and insert own samples yet, i'll try to find that out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would change the percussion sounds - they make it too obvious that it's a fruityloops preset kinda track. Download some soundfonts at : and download some VSTi and plugins at: I liked the chords, and the bouncey bass in the second half tho - good effort mort ::) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right, crap link. samples... you can find loads of samples on the net! there are like sites with thousands of hi-q samples, all categorized... lemme search for some... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, listen what marlowe says, these places are rad. and no I don't use fruityloops... yet? I wonder if it's a proper shareware so I could just d/l the crack found on astalavista or is it a DEMO?.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey thanks marlowe :) i'm aware that it sounds 'floops-y', thx for the links i'll try them out when i get home :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dunno, got my 'floops 3.56' full version with Kazaa, works fine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I use at the moment, it's handy and has lots of features to twiddle... all possible VST stuff works there OK... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
c'mon xltronicers please take a moment to listen again: it's def. not promotion, i instead like to hear what's not good about it so i can improve that i'm sure many of you musicmakers can give me much advice, i'd be very pleased to hear it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds great to me... wonderful but a bit classic melodic base, nice rythm... what else do you need? as a non-pro non-musicmaker (oh well I do it over 2 years now but who cares) I can only say: 1. make your own samples 2. experiment with the leading string some more |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the tipsy jumpy bass is what gives the song its charm. |

What's the point in making music. There's always someone out there who's stuff is better than yours. I tried to make music once. Then I listened to Let it bleed and i stopped. What is the point? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
? what's the use of picking up a sport of some kind then? there's always someone out there who's better than you. i'm just having a good time while i make music 'cause i love music, and it's a great thing to make something out of an idea in your head, whether others like it or not. what's the use of coming to this mb? what's the use of your reply? there's always someone out there who's replies are more silly well on second thou.. * please just don't ruin all (my) threads by posting stuff that hasn't got anything to do with it bill thank you |
||||||||

i was all excited 'cause i saw someone replied, and all i read is: what's the use of making music? :( |
||||||||

There's nothing out there for you my friend. You can go on playing your little instruments, living your own little pipedreams, but let me tell you there is nothing out there. It's all black. black. There's nothing, there's no-one and there's no point. There's no future. |
||||||||
|
|

|

I felt the same way when I first listened to LP5... But I was addicted by the time, so only stopped making music for year and a half. :)) |
||||||||
|

|
|
ah come on dont let the cunt get on your nerves just ignore him... btw do you have to work today as well? |

It's all black. black. There's nothing, there's no-one and there's no point. There's no future. oh please kill yourself bill |

Let me get this straight bill: 1. you turn on your computer 2. you connect to the internet 3. you go to xltronic 4. you crack your head over some impolite things to say 5. you do your very best to be rude an harsh 6. you click the cross in the corner to close xltronic 7. you turn of your computer 8. you feel satisfied Ow, thanks again to get me started, people will mix in this discussion instead of commenting on my shite, another thread ruined, but i guess you don't give a shit, 'cause hey, we're just people, we're all going to die anyway |
||||||||
|
|

|

I love it :D you got something I tell you ;) keep up the good work! |

there's the little man: Bill i'm very sorry for you feeling so depressed and blackholed, but there just have to be people like you being such a piss-off. You're a proto of a person who'll never get far in life, never get a sweet girl and never get REAL friends. You'll just die behind your sick computer. Look at yourself, what have you reached - NOTHING i guess. maybe it's fun to think about THAT instead of doing nothing here. Have you ever been to a mental institution??? I guess you should. |

||||||||
|

I started writing a fruityloops manual, but got extremely bored after the first thousand words. |
||||||||
