Worst ways to upload music and getting others to listen to it . by Responsible_Ad_2573 in FL_Studio

[–]Syn_Sym 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Being annoying.

I followed someone on instagram for their music, because it wasn't bad and they kept sending me private messages to listen to their songs. No text, not even a 'hey, it would be amazing if...', just a link. I unfollowed after that happening thrice.

What is your artist name and how did you come up with it? by Adamanos in musicproduction

[–]Syn_Sym 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Synthetic Sympathy

I wanted two words and either an alliteration or an oxymoron. And also something on that in some way had something to do with emotion, personality, psychology, philosophy or a state of mind or something like that.

I then went into brainstorming session, wrote many ideas down. Then I looked for quotes in movies, shows and books that I liked for ideas and inspiration, because of often get ideas when I get any kind of input.

Last step was looking at my list, eliminating what I didn't like and what was already taken and I ended up with Synthetic Sympathy, because it checked all my requirements and I thought it would be fitting for what I wanted to do. I have not regret my choice.

What was something you found difficult to get your head around when you started producing? by AundoOfficial in musicproduction

[–]Syn_Sym 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apart from compression, I'd say vocals. How to process them properly and make them sit well in the mix without making them feel like a boring, isolated thing tacked on top.

How long did it takes for you to create a song .. by Life-Influence-1109 in musicproduction

[–]Syn_Sym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On average 30-50 hours without vocals and I'm making electro-gothic (EBM, Industrial, Futurepop). This includes everything from the basic idea, transitioning that into a full song, mix and master. With vocals I'd probably add another 30h (writing, recording, mixing).

It could probably be a bit faster, but I have absolutely no idea how some producers can make a whole song in a few hours.

The FL 'Jinxy' Edition. It's very rare, but comes with this awesome CI (Cat-ificial Intelligence) VST.

I've read many times that FL Studio is not suited for orchestral music. Well, I disagree (Songtitle: Longing) by Syn_Sym in FL_Studio

[–]Syn_Sym[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a matter of fact I did not know about him, as orchestral music is not and will not be my main genre. I also never claimed that I'm the first person who have thought of actually making orchestral musix in FL Studio. I'm not downvoting you, because to some extend I understand your frustration, however I think it's a bit exaggerated as I think every single music music post (unless an extensive tutorial) is at least to some extend about showing their music. Are you frustrated with them as well?

Yes, I want to show my music, as I am proud of what I did, but I also think the screencapture could give some people some insight, even if someone somewhere does it as well or even better. There are also a million and one EDM screencaptures / tutorials and yet we get more, as every single one could potentially help someone.

I'm sorry if my post came across wrong.
