So i made this song on fruity loops studios. its my second song and i dont know how to use the mixer and all the other crap. i only used preset sounds, the piano roll, and the pattern window.
I have been using fruity loops studios for about 2 weeks, i spent probably about 1 hour a day every day on fruity loops. Most of that time had gone into messing around and making my first song. and two days ago i started on another song.
It took my 2 days to make this song, and during those two days i wanted to show my friends the progress that i made. but instead they are stuck-up a**-holes and want me to become way better than i am (like daft punk quote un-quote..) before showign them any progress i made. some friends right..?
However i feel like im doing very well for the time i put into it. and i think for my knowledge of the program this song sounds great.
So here is my offer. If any fruity loops pro can manage to take my song and add in all the cool effects and stuff that i just dont know how to do and make this song great or better i will send a paypal payment of $50.00 USD.
In addition, if you guys could please take 3 mins out of your lives and listen to my song and possibly give me constructive criticism or just your opinion i would really appreciate it.
The BPM is 145 and someone told me thats electro but im not sure..
~CHEERS!

i know that this isn't going to be any help but... i understand what you are going through man. i was at where you are about a year ago but thats beside the point. I would love to help you out but i am in a sandtrap of problems: i am too busy to mess around right now, my producing computer is out of order and i am currently on dial up. If you need any help in a few weeks i could see what if i can give any help but i am having no luck with right now and i am not quite pro yet haah...
good luck

yeah i guess that is kind of funny now that i think about it. thanks for pointing that out bud.
if you were to spend 5 hours messing with a song during the summer when you dont have anything better to do anyways then you just made 5 bux an hour. sweet.
if youre better than that and only worked on it for 2 hours then you just made 25 an hour. thats not bad either.
but if youre a busy man and you have bread to put on the table, then please, ignore this and move on.
anyways, the offer still stands.
i thought that the riffs i made were really good and maybe worth something, rather than a lot of the generic stuff i hear that is apparantly popular when its just like 4 notes the entire song.
kind of like daft punk they use the same riff over and over but the effects is what makes the song cool. i thought if i made a bunch of good riffs (which i still think i did) and you added in effects it could be something way cool. but in the mean time i think songs like Vietnam by Daft Punk and lots of other songs are boring and mundane. |

| Why don't you just do it yourself... Now correct me if I am wrong here, but it might help you better your production skills? |

I'll do it.
I'm a FLP pro.
You're problems are actually very similar to when I first started using FL myself years ago.
If your going to use the Sytrus you really need to know what sounds to stay away from. I used nothing but Sytrus when I first started using FL but now I don't find much room for it in my tracks. I can't say its a bad synth, I just don't like its cheesy sounds anymore.
That chip preset needs to come out.
I'll give it that nice umphh.
Give me till late in the day when I actually get time to sit down.
And I won't comment on the song because you can just check my FLP later which will be better to learn from.

edit: only advice I WILL add is that mixer is the most important thing in the world. Make sure you take a look at that specifically later when you get the FLP. |

dude you ing rock. thanks a million. i definitely will take a look at the mixer and ill read tutorials and all that good stuff. i already did but i still dont get it exactly.. i dont get why there is a master and FX and the sends and what the point of the mixer even is..
is it to combine a bunch of channels and make a loop with a few sounds in it?
btw my type b proto sounds REEEEEAAAAALLLL good, keep this one going man |

You gotta understand first that is totally normal. Not paying the mixer enough attention when you're new that is.
Theres LOTS of very interesting things a mixer can logically only do.
If you really want to equalize, compress, delay and put reverb on things the right way, you NEED the mixer.
Plus you need the mixer for fade in/out automations. And for *me, a great deal of my automations in FL come from a mixer channels fx.
It could be a flanger increasing the depth, it could be anything, but a lot of that action is coming from the mixer itself.
Most of my mixer channels are used strictly to clean up and strengthen a sound, then the smaller few are dedicated to actual fx.
*Sends* are important for 2 main reasons.
1) They save time.
2) They save computer processing or cpu power.
If I have 4 different sounds that both require a lot of reverb, why not just route them all to one main channel?
And why open up individual reverbs and set them to different settings when for the atmosphere of the track as a whole, the same setting can most likely be used for all 4 sounds?
I'm doing right now what I hate the most, which is trying to help someone on the computer. Because when I can actually sit with people and explain things, its literally a thousand times faster.
With this track you have here, the #1 problem I saw was an overcompensation of variation.
You variated EVERYTHING, the bass, guitars, melody, chip synth.
A stable track does not have that much variation.
The only reason I think you did it is because you became disengaged with one melody so soon that your solution was to variate it.
You do have chords and melody progressions that CAN be worked with.
You need to know what your STRONG or main melody is, you need to define it in your head before you start mixing.
And variations from that melody shouldn't be so extreme.
At this point, I put a new sytrus bass, new kick, compression, and wound up deleting everything in your track.
Then I had to start opening up new vsts that you prob don't have (predator, albino, etc).
And I got the first couple minutes hitting hard, but then realized its really not your song anymore.
I'm going to try a bit more, to see if I can preserve more without changing too much, but let me work a bit more and I'll get back to you.
Your track CAN be made to sound good. With small changes. but when small changes start happening almost everywhere, it starts to become a large change. I'll be back.
