Hi everyone, I thought i would make a thread about fl studio just to chat about it and discuss what techniques you use etc, and also to see if anyone apart from me and halian, use the software, on this forum.

Here's a link if you don't know what it is: http://www.flstudio.com/ I think its worth downloading the demo just to see what it is if you dont know.

Btw if there's anyone here who is interested in learning how to use the software this has to be the best website i've found for tutorials so far: http://www.warbeats.com/

Anyways to get the discussion rolling, I'm thinking if buying a keyboard that i can connect to my comp through midi, and i've got a question; if i want to be able to play the virtual keyboard on screen do i need to buy a keyboard with MIDI IN or MIDI OUT or GENERAL MIDI.

Oh yeh and check this cool guy out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BvWqmGpCAI


Cheers all

Dang, that guy is sweet! Thats some amazing work :D

Well, I started on a project a while back, and never finished it. Then I lost the original file, and so I just have the mp3. I'll upload it sometime. It's about 45 seconds of "okness"
 
Yeh he's a legend that goes by the name of ronald jenkees :)

I like forward to hearing the 45 secs of okness :D its gotta be better than anything I've made.

Btw halian what do you think of this keyboard: http://www.casio.co.uk/Products/Musical Instruments/Entry Level/CTK-810C5/ Technical Specifications/

Its got and USB built in so i dont have to get anything else to make it
compatible with fruity loops, thats what really makes it a good buying point for me. I've seen one for around £110 inc postage and packaging do you think thats a fair price.

Cheers,

I'm only good at making beats/rhythms. At melodies i sukc, but yes i can post some. I make from rap to techno 2 wierd game industrial type rhythms.

I've just done a quick google search and found this, I've never tried it myself before but I think it should work. I should be getting my keyboard within a couple of weeks so I'll try making a few beats of my own if I can and I'll post em up.
 
ok! keep in mind that six yrs still doesnt mean that i'm really good. I just mess around with FL Studio that is all and its an on & off kinda thing.

Here's a rap beat i just made three days ago
http://files-upload.com/files/581977/SomeRapBeat.mp3

Alittle something basic on fl studio
http://files-upload.com/files/581980/Wah.mp3

First song i made in FruityLoops 4 just for subsonic hits
http://files-upload.com/files/581982/TechBass.mp3

Check out this wierd one, i musta been mad when i made this one
http://files-upload.com/files/581987/Wierd Industrial.mp3
 
I'm just about to listen to yours Tma20SC, I'll post the only one that I've made in a minute. Its only 6 seconds long but its a start.
 
Wow all of them are really good, I reckon with "Wah" if you had a chorus and some lyrics that could be a complete basic song. Have you noticed the massive huge amount of quality you lose when you save the file as an mp3 instead of an .flp file?

Here's mine: http://files-upload.com/files/584762/basic 1 mp3.mp3

Nothing special I've used BooBass for the bass and for the synth you hear on top I've used a vst called Massive. In this version because its mp3 most of the bass seems to have disappeared.
 
Nice melodies!!!... they could use some nice rhythms to em'. I've noticed you can lose quality when u render projects to mp3 but to prevent that theirs a quick fix in the audio settings that i did years ago. I dont really remember the steps to do it though. Mess around with it see what you get.
 
Here another rap beat i made today except the melodies arent mine their just loops, maybe i should take some piano lessons to strengthn' my beats alittle...

WOW! That is flipping awesome the drum beats in that are really good. I can't wait until i get my keyboard: here's the one i've chosen: http://www.casio.co.uk/Products/Musical Instruments/Entry Level/CTK-810C5/ Technical Specifications/

One thing i really struggle on is the drum beats do you know of any good tutorials mate.
Oh yeh and another thing I discovered in Fl Studio is "chrome" you probably already know what it is, but i think it would be pretty cool if you were doing a live performance; to run chrome on a second monitor.

Anyways mate you keep making them great beats, I'll try and post a few ehn i get my keyboard.

salman.
 
Actually i dont know what chrome is or maybe i just forgot about it... Nice keyboard the usb thingy is awesome hopefully one day i can get me my very own.
