I don't think Tripod allows MP3 storage anyway..

Yeh this basically sucked - but it would be fair to just say that it was terribele... here is why it sucked :

Umm.. wellll.. the percussion, although it has rythem, it's a bad one.. try listening to other techno songs a little closer..

the synths are loud, annoying, and sound like shit.. take music lessons if you want to further this at all..

I've been producing for 4 years and I still suck, but this song sounds close to my very first songs although they were done with samples and ACID not fruityloops...

I wonder if it's a bad thing that fruityloops is so easy if it leads to that.. hrrmmmm...

Side Note: I'll be it's not as easy as you though when you first sat down with Fruityloops, huh!? mwahaha!

yeh I would probably have to agree with that, but it's mostly becuase you probably put almost no time into it. I would bet you put less then an hour of time into this track, I've done tracks that took months (literally)...

lol.. sorry to hear that guys.. i know it sucks balls.. its just my first track! yea.. it did take me an hour.. lol.. im learning tho...

Posted by TranceSpeeder on Feb-07-2004 17:21:

btw.. this is just a track to get me started with anything... i dont have cash for anything big.. so, fruityloops is my way to go.. whats better than fruityloops anyway? should i try getting cubase? or reason? i have some better 1 hour songs.. there all kind of slow and boring tho.. they do sound better.. i just posted this one.. i was trying to make something uplifting.. but, i guass i should not do something i cant at the time what should i do to get better? like, i listen to allot of trance.. just what you all think? just practice allot more? should i get cubase or reason? whats ur opinions?

no fruity loops is a good program to start with. I use Sonar 3 but it's VERY ADVANCED and I wouldn't recommend it for someone who has been producing any less then 2 years. The one thing that helped me out a lot was getting a keyboard (a midi controller will do as well if you dont have the $$) and taking Piano/theory classes.. so that means learn scales.. major, minor.. etc etc..

aside from that read up on production teqniques in the production forum and experiment, experiment, experiment!.. it was about a year before I came out with a track that was BARELY listenable..

Guitar lessons are to rock and blues what piano lessons are to electronica, classical, and rap...

although guitar lessons will help, keyboard will help a lot as well...

as for a keyboard.. if you dont have a lot of money get a midi controller since a good keyboard will cost at least $600

Fruityloops is good to start with, I'm still a newb when it comes to create good music, but I'm learning quite fast though...hope to be able to show my talents soon

Don't buy a keyboard if you don't know how to use it, I'm on a course for piano and it really helps alot when creating nice tunes and melodies. When you feel that you know almost everything in FL, try something even more advanced... just a tip.
