about fruity loops is taht it is as complicated as you want it to be. The depths of technicality are virtually limiltess unless you want to spend all of eternity finding the end of it.
I enjoy it, but heaps of people hate it. It's theonly music making software i have access to, and I've been using it since 2001 so I'm pretty familiar with it.
I've been getting into the jist of 3xOSC, TS404 and making new Sytrus pads, but I just can't be patient enough to finish a song. I've got a heap more music on my lappy, I'll upload it when I get it back

Upload the song here on Shroomery if you want me to listen to it. It only takes a minute and I'm not going to follow a link to an outside site where I'm gonna have to go through several pages to hear your song. Upload it here.
I only say this because when I clicked on the link to your song, it brought me to a page where I clicked on "download file", then it opened up a page where a video ad was playing on the screen so I said fuck this and vicariously fuck listening to your song.

Hey it worked! Turns out I just had to stay on the first page and not click 'download this file'.
Nice tracks man, your FL skills trump mine. I get impatient making pattern after pattern. Your tracks seem to have used a good amount of patterns. Did you use FL for the synths too? Or a keyboard or a different program.

nah I just used the synths. I'm using my friends shitty old-ass computer that has fuck all CPU capabilities so I'm kind of limited in that department. Those tracks aren't finished at all yet, I have to continuously save, render and burn them to Cd and take them out to my friends BMW to listen to them just to make sure I have the levels right (his computer has ass--shit speakers) which is getting really tedious.
I have about 30-40 different percussion patterns per song, and only fuck all actual melodies (which is a curse). I used to make a lot of melodies but i seem to have lost my nack. I'm starting to get into a lot more minimal tech/progressive darker european shit nowadays, so I'm kind of going for that sound but haven't quite hit the nail yet.
The song that sounds more complete was my first attempt at minimal, and as you can hear it failed miserably. I'll get there one day
cheers for the feedback

Nicely done. I tried my darndest to make psytrance, but fucking sucked balls at it. It's not really my style anyway. I had a crack at doing something like Bufo (www.myspace.com/bufobeat) but couldn't really get there either. Some of my other shit can be found at myspace.com/kjindica but most of that is really old but some of it is still pretty good and trippy.
I really liked the audio clip you used in that song... may I ask what it was?

try turning the 'swing' up in the top right hand corner of the pattern gizmo. If you turn it up halfway it gets a nice swing, or open up your bass in the piano roll and just arpeggiate it or some shit. I just use the paint brush and make it hit ever single beat for those lame psytrance bass beats. (I dont like a lot of psytrances kick drums or bass lines for some some reason, other than Bufo)

yeah I've heard of Spoonbill but never avtually heard the music. I think they played at the club I was working at a few months ago, but I missed it because I was probably out hammered elsewhere. I'm more into the European prog tech/minimal shit... as I've said, psytrance is kinda boring for me these days for some reason

lol... getting the levels right...
you song is super low volume over at this end, sounds like you have an unusual amount of sub-bass without mid bass going on too... shitty speakes so i'm not so sure though.

wow man i'm impressed considering what you've got to work with.
I fucking hate FL with that limited contrived sound that it seems to give to almost everything that is made with it.
I'm happy to say that your track was one of the best tracks I've heard come from that piece of shit program. Kudos to you!
    
I had a room mate that just harped on FL, he loved it soo much. God. After awhile I grew to despise the sound of the FL synth. Maybe it was the sub-par FL skills of my roommate though. That's VERY possible.

nice mellow electro-techno kinda stuff
the volume is very low though, try to boost the main channel (you can use a limiter at 0db to prevent clipping, a compressor on the main channel can works wonders. try compressing 2:1 ratio with a threshold of -30 db, just a rough guess of what would work here. you can boost after compressing)

yeah i know i can never get the volumes right!! it seems like fruity loops naturally turns it down, but when i turn the volume up in the thing everything distorts, then when i throw a compressor on it the sound gets all fucked up and the bass often completely drowns out other parts of the song...
still figuring out compression.
i'm mad lazy though, so i don't take the time to EQ each instrument which would probably make a huge difference.
you know anything about mastering?

it's possible that fruityloops cuts down the volume when exporting
you can boost in in another program (like sony soundforge, with the included plugin Wavehammer)

it would be a pain in the ass, but i was thinking we should trade the entire contents of our fruity loops folders.
i would like to do this so i can
-get more samples -learn how other people use fruity loops.

that's a pretty cool idea, you can learn a lot from how other people make their music. I don't use fruityloops though...
make a post about this in the MA&L forum, I beter more people are up for it. it's pretty easy to make a zipfile of your fruity folder and upload it on sendspace.com for example

I use fl5 with few VSTs.
I know how mastering works, but I it has never worked for me the way I've planned it. It has always came out sounding crappier than before so I've pretty much given up mastering. I know I should practice it more, but I don't do music much anyways.

Cheers for all the feedback. I know about the volume being really low, that's my fault. I always keep forgetting to turn up the main channel before I export it.
I like the idea of trading our FL folders with everyone, but truth is I've used FL on about 5 different computers, all of which were never mine, so most of my .flp files have been lost and all I've got is the mp3's, or the .flps with no sound samples in them, so they're missing a lot.
I'll listen to all's tracks soon when I get my laptop back, but thanks for the feedback.

i just use the fruity compressor preset 'full mix' and a multiband compressor preset 'mastering 2.4db' on my master channel for mastering cleans up the sound quite abit,
for those who say fruity loops just gives a 'fruity loops' sound, this can be true if you just use all the defualt samples, settings, VSTs.. but remember, FL is compatible with 1000s of VSTs, some i use are albino, massive, sytrus (comes with FL7 pro), toxic etc, for your music making pleasure.

i havnt tried PoiZone ill download it
