FL won't teach you anything about music. | ||

guitar, piano, violin, saxophone... jug (simpson's reference) and can you whistle? (like, with your mouth, not the object) and can you sing in tune? (at least relatively in tune, don't have to be mariah carey) do you listen to classical music? (or at least, would you not mind listening to classical music?) i find the above backgrounds help when learning music from scratch edit: do you have a preference in music style? (what type of dj? hip hop, house, trance, kpop, etc.) do you think about and create melodies in your head? (are you able to construct musical phrases, as opposed to random "oh this sounds cool.. but how the heck would anyone play that.. o crap, i can't even remember how it goes") do you have a background in music theory? (harmony, counterpoint, etc.) if not, are you willing to spend the time and effort learning music theory? (or at least, basic rudimentary music theory such as chord progressions, etc.) and most of all... are you divinely inspired? note: creativity has nothing to do with making music. if you copy, make the copy better than the original. if you are creative, make sure that its down to earth that people not on LSD can appreciate it. (rather, you might still get a fanbase if your LSD tracks are that good) | ||

FL won't teach you anything about music. what kind of DJing? also if you don't know anything about music you're going to suck at it and not make anything worth listening for a really long time, just a heads up, so you've gotta be pretty into it | ||

the question on everyone's mind is: what kind of does tasteless listen to? and what does Tasteless want to play as a DJ? Tasteless everyone here knows you're just looking for new ways to get laid, no need to deny it, but as everyone has already pointed out, this takes a lot time, effort and a some talent, so just go work on your game, or get them drunk. | ||

I haven't touched FL in like a year, but before that, I used it for around 3 years. It's pretty powerful, and really intuitive. I think the toughest part is setting up your instruments. After that, usually playing around in the piano roll and listening to everything on repeat will allow you to think of things that make a complete song. | ||

Megaman 3 Intro song: [url blocked] Portal: [url blocked] Terran Song(very short): [url blocked] Fire Emblem Song: [url blocked] and the first thing i did with the program after tinkering [url blocked] It goes in order from bottom to top oldest to newest and the newest is still like a year ago XD lol Well Yeah FL Studio is way more powerful than anything that is up there^ and ive really been learning a lot about it lately like for example the SCRATCHER is awesome! So yeah i have a lot of experience with FL Studio, i can probably answer most or all questions you have about it EDIT: Sorry for using megaupload it can be a pain =/ | ||

Here's a pretty good example of writing complicated sounding stuff even if you aren't slick with the piano roll or if you don't have a keyboard + Show Spoiler + What you write depends a lot on what genre's of music you like. There's a lot of software I tried out but that one works the best for me. There's a lot of potential for what you write if you like messing around with VSTi's to get quirky sounds but what you get with XXL is sexy. Some VSTi's out there make writing stuff easier depending on what you like. I listen to a lotbreakcore and drill 'n bass (the Flashbulb if anyone knows who that is) so I use a lot of DBlue Glitch, even though the consensus is that only newbs use it. Billy10's probably a lot more experienced than I am, but that's just what I've been doing with with it. I actually write my stuff on midi-guitar and keyboard so what I say might not work for most people, though. | ||

Also i really dont like the built in VSTs they sound kinda bad to me i like other ones much better For example..reFX Nexus is incredibly powerful and is the best VST I have come across | ||

Basshunter  .To get some solid knowledge of music producing start with the mechanics i.e. Reason is much better if you actually want to learn stuff, and the layout is nice because your knowledge translates over to hardware smoothly, provided you ever want to go that far.... | ||

http://www.myspace.com/hybrock - That was all done in Fruity Loops and is pretty simplistic actually. Very simplistic. I just need to get my copy back. Stupid HDD crashes. -.- Edit - bad link -.- | ||
