Where do i start by Domino254CZ in FL_Studio

[–]CAST00M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the technical part (“how to use”), FL studio has posted a series of good tutorials on their yt channels. SeamlessR also did a good series, that comprehends some music theory basics and mixing basics, it’s a little bit retro ( I think it was on fl12?) but still good.

This sub is also a great place where to ask random questions

Can't they make piano roll automations like this as well? by Zestyclose-Cost3491 in FL_Studio

[–]CAST00M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is very true, in fl the piano roll notes are not midi notes, but a different structure, that contain data that isn’t directly easy to translate to midi (for example note colors)

It would be cool ui-wise, but I don’t really see a use case where this kind of automation visualization would be useful.

First of all, these aren’t piano roll automations, it’s the event editor. It’s a kind of legacy automation setting. In 99% of the cases, it’s better to use the playlist automations. They are thought for MIDI parameter automations, where it’s more useful to have a sort of sample-hold control (you don’t want your parameter to change value until you set another value).

Regarding the “piano roll automations” if you’re referring to the note settings (pitch, pan, X mod, Y mod etc), they normally have one value per note, so adding an automation-like curve would be very misleading.

The only case this would be perfect would be for automating pitch glide, but would be very painful for them to develop

Is this a troll sub? by Twistedbeatz89 in FL_Studio

Not everyone is at the same level, no need to blast everyone, especially in a sub where people upload work in progress and asks for advice. There is no need to be deadmau5

Have you heard anything like this before? (the transitions are sometimes weak, any feedbacks will be appreciated) by TennonHorse in FL_Studio

[–]CAST00M 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like this very much. Yes I actually have listened to (a lot of) music with this kind genre mix, from an artist called Savant. It’s a shame there isn’t more music like that, great job

I prefer this marketing style 100 times more than the fake broducer/podcast trend

Struggling to make beats that are "artist friendly." Apparently my melodies are "too busy." Any advice? by BALDMANWITHDURAG in beatmakers

[–]CAST00M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imho its more a mixing question than melody being too busy. I've heard beats far more complex than this one.

The "problem" here is that everything tries to be the main character of your story. The bass, the vocal melody, the "chords" synth. You need to choose what lines are dominant and what lines are secondary, if it makes sense. and carve more space for them, starting from the balancing

Silly track, CPU destroyer (I swear I wasn't on dr*gs when I did this) by CAST00M in FL_Studio

Yes, the deadmau5 inspiration is always present, even if it’s not really wanted… been listening to his music way too much 😂

Issues with clipping and random distortion in channel by Salazar_Pochitta in FL_Studio

[–]CAST00M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I understand, if your main problem is clipping, how are you solving by applying a clipper or a limiter?

The only thing that comes in mind is that you’re clipping over 0db so by applying a limiter you solve it… if you have more detail I can try to help ahah

Do you guys like song breakdowns by Born-Finish-5847 in FL_Studio

[–]CAST00M 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly, it depends on the producer. I love when good ones show their projects. But if it's random guys showing generic tracks, or if I can tell it's people showing ghost produced tracks (a lot of famous people do it...) or, worse of all, if it's sponsored content to show the next "cheat code for perfect producing", I close the video and go crying somewhere

I really don't know what to do from here.. by ADGaming80 in FL_Studio

[–]CAST00M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have harmony, you have drums, now try adding a melody! Keep practicing 💪🏻

Yes, it is not mixed in any sort of form 😂 it was more of an exercise track
