i want to find a decent program for making some cool electronic music but i have no idea what to use. can someone guide me in the right direction? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DO NOT USE FRUITY LOOPS!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Try to be talented. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, youve told me not to use fruity loops, could you please tell me what i SHOULD use? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You should try Fruityloops. It's good, really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wish i knew how to make cool electronic music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get some old, almost broken down synthesizers, a casio keyboard, and an electric guitar. then hire a jazz band. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats right! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know you're all gonna post sarcastic shit and everything, but im realllllly trying to make some professional sounding music here. i've got stuff written and im completely lost on what programs to use and such. |

Buy a karaoke tape and record yourself singing over it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Get Reason & learn it inside out Then use your brain Thats IT!!!!!!!!! |
||||||||

There was a similar thread or what or something recently. |

I recommend FL Studio a.k.a Fruity Loops - in all seriousness, it's a great program that can do a ton of stuff, plus you can use VST instruments and effects in it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
make some warm electronic music then |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thebest advice is try everything and use whatyou feel comfortable with, it is a personal thing, everyone's set up is generally unique to them, so the best thing you can do is search through stuff try everything, work hard at it and you'll get there. |

i like good melodies... nice long dark pads for some reason... beats that make my head move and my mind wander... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, i could, but then i would never get that "oh fuck i'm gonna shit my pants look" from people at my shows and it so worth being uncool just for that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it that floops isn't the industry standard? is that why everyone seems to hate it? because it's definitely one of the simplest, versatile and most efficient programs i've used. you can do really cool stuff with it, and it's great for beginners. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, it just looks so uttery and completely SHIT. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what do you mean? the way it looks on the screen or the interface? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol |
||||||||

I have a hard time making free jazz tracks with Fruityloops. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have found the best program. Besides supercollider. Renoise. Trackers are fun and they sound wonderful!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just get Cubase SX and bunch of vst instruments. Phatmatik Pro is vital |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
use REASON! |

your avatar just keeps gettin better reflex. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isnt it just the same? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just randomize everything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That is because your tiny useless forearms cannot reach the valves on your saxamaphone. |
||||||||
|
|

I don't make music but Casio Keyboards are very fun : ) |

FRUITYLOOPS IS SHIT! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's not in the handbook |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I find that FruityLoops is pretty good, you just have to know how to use it and I mean use it well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its curious as to why people say that fruityloops is shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cause it's too complex for them ^_^ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Get something small which you don't know what it is. Run it through some stomp boxes to get decent sounds out of it. Then, when you're famous you can go, "It was mad." |

Portland: It's very easy to make gash tracks that sound alike because they use the (admittedly awful) standard samples that come with it. A lot of people churn out that sort of stuff and subsequently people who hear it was made in floops associate the toy town sound quality with the program rather than the person who made it. It looks pretty ugly. It's cheaper than Reason (despite the fact you can run VSTs in it!). Hardly any pro's- with a few notable exceptions (Snares, Hecate, Hellfish, etc.) - use it. Paco: Yes, always do incredibly impractical anal stuff to get samples- it'll make for good stories in interviews when you famous :D |

the only thing i don't like in fruity loops is it's title...... i try not to use standard samples (if i do so, i usually do some changes...... i prefer synth plugins) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
fruityloops make a track delete it scream into your mic done |
||||||||

Fruity is shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha.... I love the way the workmen are all blaming their tools for the shitness. I use all the PS and PS2 titles: Music, Music2000, MTV Music Gen 2 and Music 3000. I enjoy my music. If others do too then great but I don't mind if they don't like it. Mp3.com is shutting down tho which pisses me off. go now while you still have the chance!!! www.mp3.com/chri5py |

Check out Cool Edit Pro. Acid PRo 4 Soundforge...... Fruity. and get a basic understanding of them Ableton is good. Start off by grabbing some free .wavs so you can easier understand the programs. Do simple things first because there is a lot that you can do with them all. Then move on to more complicated things like reason. Having an understanding of such programs makes things easier down the road. |

anyone know any good sites to get sounds (wavs) for beats n shit? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
computers is shit. don't use them to make music because i said so. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do a search for free .wavs/loops/one shots dig deep. for what you will find shall be good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

fruity loops is a good way to get ideas down quickly. i like it as a starting point for track production. like a sketch pad to get the basic outline of the track. but i usually do all my editing in Acid. i find it easier to do intricate sequencer trickery outside of a step sequencer. anyway, if you are good, i believe you can make good tracks with any equipment/software. |
