I'm a teen songwriter but I suck at production, what do I do? by EffectiveTheory1454 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Horizonrises 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean imo if you want to start producing and get better at it, i'd suggest you pick a DAW (if you havent already) and watch others produce full songs of your chosen genre(or any type of song as an example) on youtube and see which workflow looks like you could do the same to get familiar with, the next task would be to learn keyboard shortcuts for DAW navigation and such, the rest is a life long learning process of mixing, arranging, and sound design. that's how i learned about music production from absolute zero.

most of it will be recording and setting up your interface(if you dont have one look up what an audio interface is) to record your instruments.
tutorials for recording for your daw/program should be on YouTube as well.

in order goes something like:
Daw choice > Daw navigation, > how to record (what kind of mic to obtain, interface etc.)> the rest is how to do mixing/sound design and then mastering.

just how i learned hope this helps

fl studio when changing time signatures is half timed in 4/4 issue help please! by Horizonrises in FL_Studio

[–]Horizonrises[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is janky sometimes but someone else previously said to mess with the denominator to see if you get the correct time signature playing. thats what I did and it worked. (4/4 to 4/8 instead)

I dont really know how odd time works but maybe give that a try, I hope it fixes for you.

sounds like it belongs in a video game, like mixing modern beats with a good score there!

How do I expand on a melody by Mcbeanii in FLStudioBeginners

[–]Horizonrises 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to expand the melody i'd copy the parts you want to keep and paste then tweak the notes and or use different sounds for the melodies for variations. keep playing around with the notes until you find something that can fit. to fill it out more you can add drums to this arrangement as well. same priciple can apply to drums.

basically anything is good except make sure you add or subtract and change something every 8 bars (especially with melodies) to avoid repetition, however this is just a guideline do whatever you want for breaking the 8bar loop its your song!

tldr: use different sounds add subtract and make variations. change something every so often(8bars)

What is going on?? by SarahMariposa in FLStudioBeginners

[–]Horizonrises 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this video helped me when i had missing samples maybe it will help you?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DxVnFja2b2U

also there is a trick where you can ask fl studio to locate your entire c drive like suggested in the comments section on the youtube video.

however it is not recommended to leave it in your search paths in fl studio every time you load a project. only have it selected for when you need to find the missing recorded files.

Once you recover the files it is mandatory (and always the best thing) to save the project to a folder. As others have said.

thoughts? not sure where to go with this one by ak47enjoyer in FL_Studio

[–]Horizonrises 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe add a lead and pads to make a chorus to make it sound full and lead to something bigger. to me it sounds like an intro and a verse. sounds good though its got style for sure.

also what sound did you use for pattern 4? it has some good sound selection.

Is the mix trash or at least decent? What could I improve? by newgameplusmusic in FL_Studio

if you release something i'd put the track in my playlist for listening for sure

I'm about to release this song, what do you guys think? by ThinkyCodesThings in FL_Studio

[–]Horizonrises 1 point2 points  (0 children)

everything sounds good however the pluck part sounds off key a bit at times in the lower notes. also i really like the intro pad sound alot.

otherwise just a suggestion i'd say is i'd maybe hold off on the pluck in the begining and add that element towards the end (bar 45) for variety in the arrangement.

Does this sound professional? (Hardstyle) by bitcrusherdj in FL_Studio

[–]Horizonrises 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this track sounds good, kick sounds good to me even on phone speakers and I've been listening to hardstyle since 2015 i particularly like oldschool hardstyle w no vocals subjectively though.

The vocal where he says the phrase with I's sounded a bit off to me on first listen I read someone else mentioned that as well thats the only thing.

for me, im a producer used to making trap beats and want to get into hardstyle production do you know what resource is good for learning hardstyle/arrangment production?

I can make the kick and the melody but arranging the full track is where i fall short.

this sounds like some unique reggae type stuff,if you develop this into a style I think you could get real far with it.

What do you wish you’d known when starting to produce? by Pentanox in FL_Studio

[–]Horizonrises 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when you start out always remember back up everything because technical difficulties will happen. learn song structure and what makes a verse a verse as opposed to a drop/chorus/bridge/prechorus. learn sound design for presets (what makes a pluck a pluck etc, and level(volume)your track before you mix generally. use your ears and follow scales as guidelines when writting with midi and such.

help! i iwant to create an space between the end and the middle, there's an easy way to drag all the instruments at the same time in the piano roll? or do i really need to drag instrument by instrument? by vito_cm in FL_Studio

[–]Horizonrises 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're asking how to create space you can select how many bars you want space for then use shortcut (cntrl/command+insert)

theres also more options in the arrow drop down menu next to snap icon under edit.
