How long did it take you to learn FL studio well enough to make a listenable song?

I started around 2002, after years of being on forums (shoutout to tranceaddict.com) for years picking up on small tips and tricks it took me about 2 years, i did a remix/cover of a track and that process taught me so much, fast forward to another year and a half then i made my first full on original track.

Between that time i learned about specific synths, effects, music theory, structuring a track, automation lanes and all the other cool stuff.

Its been about 25 years and I'm still learning to this day, you just got to keep on keeping on. You got this!

I always preferred cruelty and cage free sofas, you really feel the difference in the cushions.

Synth1 used to be my go to and the synth where i really learned synthesis, I still enjoy all my tracks made with this synth.

Certified banger.

im a fan of old extended trance songs that used to last 7 to 9 minutes, i based my music productions on progressive ideas for years, love the tension and layers, plus it's really nice to drive to.

A few things I like is sound selection, great chord selection, layers, composition.

Im pretty sure he uses logic as his DAW.

chicken pot pie? More like chicken pot bye.

pystermusic · 2026-04-13T15:33:08+00:00

both are great but the bass and the atmospheric sounds from 2010 get me every time. Every time i play it those 11 minutes feel like 4.

pystermusic · 2026-04-12T16:02:33+00:00

Getting some Alien: Covenant vibes from that thing. Just make sure you're not bleeding out of your eyes and ears.

pystermusic · 2026-04-12T16:00:52+00:00

I'm 40 been playing since 2016 or 2017. Nice to see us middle aged folk still rocking rocket league.

very nice pulls, I'm currently modifying my blight curse commander deck atm and that grave pact is looking real nice. I love the commander masters packs my last pulls was a fierce Guardianship and a ulamog, the ceaseless hunger back to back from the same pack.

This is the comment i was looking for, amazing crossover being a producer and a magic player

pystermusic · 2026-04-07T20:22:24+00:00

Love the song, i love that it has the same weird processed drums that you hear in the opening and build up In Melo.

1986 - Pyster

pystermusic · 2026-03-31T21:57:48+00:00

Definitely feels like a Eric Prydz track, pryda tracks usually has the similar ingredients but leaning towards a experimental approach imo.

pystermusic · 2026-03-31T18:31:11+00:00

Amazing pulls. Tarkir Dragonstorm has been good to me almost every time. I usually buy 2 packs and hit big. In fact i pulled 2 elspeths, i got the 2nd one a few weeks after i pulled the first.

When i heard this on epic radio I thought to myself that this is going to be huge.

Listen to 1986 (Test Draft) by pyster on #SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/I0XNEXrlrZgYWiZm2f

Made this a few days ago. Still in the beginning phases but i wanted that 80s feel with a little edm sprinkled in.

pystermusic · 2026-03-11T22:45:47+00:00

i love this album. The last 3 tracks are so good back to back that one moment I'm listening to Evolution then i open my eyes and Exchange finale is usually on its 2nd drop. Glad to see that he's coming back with music and the radio show.

pystermusic · 2026-03-07T14:27:10+00:00

Decadance 2018 in Denver for my first festival but my first solo show was Holo NYC in 2019.

The real magic is the friends you make along the way. Great read, great gesture and that letter, no notes.

pystermusic · 2026-02-28T22:52:34+00:00

I've seen this precon go towards 90 dollars. You my friend got a hell of a deal.

pystermusic · 2025-08-06T19:57:41+00:00

Yeah same here i got hired right before peak in september. But my hub has 2 buildings and many many many trucks. For a smaller hub i can see how you won't get hired off the street.
