well i dont know what he means by "empty".... trance has more parts to it than most other genres, and most trance songs have 10+ parts to them, filling up nearly all the frequences before the percussion is even added...
na ive never used any "crowd cheering samples" in any of my songs.... sounds like a kinda cheap thing to do.
And to think, there are so many dnb "producers" here too - you'd think that they would have all jumped on the opportunity to show you how knowledgable and uber-skilled that they all are...
Meh, I guess they're all too busy blatently ripping samples off the amen break to help :P
As I think someone said before, export cpu intensive VSTs to .wav files, then load the .wav into your program.
Use the send effects, so that you use only one reverb for 10 vsts instead of 10.
Another VERY good tip in FL is to go to tools>macros>smart disable for all effects. This stops effects from being used when no audio is being sent through them ( you might be prosessing audio that isnt even there!)
As someone also said before, press F10 and set the buffer length higher under audio ( in FL )
Also, get yourself an asio driver for your soundcard (if you dont have one already) at your soundcards producers website, and if it doesnt have one go to www.asio4all.com .
Hope this helps!
I would suggest making sure you have the whole of the z3ta+ file in the vst folder, sometimes it needs things in there to work. If that doesnt work, maybe reinstall?
By the whole z3ta+ file i mean the one named " z3ta+ " , not the one inside it called "rgcaudio z3ta+".

well i have no idea what that is but someone could try pluging the audio output/headphone socket into the input on their sound card, and then record while getting that effect to play during the game..... if they want to go to that much effort :) . or do it in a computer game and record the output and slice it up, might be easier.
any particular style you want? when would you want it by?
on www.kvraudio.com there are quite a lot of free ones that are decent.
filter off high and low frequencies, and boost some of the mid-high ones. then export in low quality and you should start to get something sounding more like radio :) . also try using a bit reducer and small amounts of distortion, and compress it VERY heavily.

FL is really geared towards the consumer and semi-pro market (apart from the XXL version, which feels like a more complete package), despite what Image Line may say. Cubase, however, is geared towards the professional level. While FL isn't "bad" (especially for the price), Cubase has it beat on several levels.
Beat it on several levels isnt precise enough for me :)
The largest flaw in FL Studio is the way it handle audio in my book. For instance, during playback, you are unable to mute or unmute tracks, and you cannot name audio tracks. Although these may seem like small issues, anyone who works with audio tracks regularly will realize how big this issues can turn out to be.
err you can mute and unmute tracks, and you can also rename them :)
In terms of stability, FL is reliable. I would highly recommend Cubase over FL when dealing with VST technology, however, considering Steinberg created it. I've never once had any VST problems when using Cubase, and I use several in each project I create.
I have never once had a single problem with FL, and believe me ive used it a lot :) ... and I use up to 20+ vsts in every project i do, my music is more electronic.
I'm no expert with FL, but I can assure you there is a reason why so many professional composers use Cubase over FL.
i think that so many professional composers use cubase rather than FL is because 5 - 10 years ago, when they were starting out, cubase was the main sequencer. I'm seeing more and more professional tracks come out that have been made on FL .
Keep in mind also that FL is designed primarily as a Standalone system, and lacks the bells and whistles of what Cubase can offer. Cubase, on the other hand, has many capabilities of FL, PLUS an extremely efficient sequencing environment that FL does not offer.

an extremely efficient sequencing environment that cubase does not offer. I think people are saying "cubase is more expensive so it must be better "
btw, this is not meant to be an offensive reply to DavidOrr (his music rules, check some of it out :) ), i simply want to say that I dont think any sequencer can be better than any other... exept ejay, which is official "teh n00b program" in my opinion lol
peace
just a question to davidorr : why do you prefer cubase over FL? ive tried them both out, and i dont see any real advantage ( like ableton live's time stretching for example )
in my opinion, there is no "best" program, its the skills of the artist that make the music good or bad. some people are more comfortable with different programs, so try out the demos of the different ones and see which one suits you best.
by the time you read this youve probably realised it yourself, sytrus can be assigned to mixer channels :)
what exactly do you mean by guitar effects ? how to create a guitar with a vst, or how to make your guitar sound different?
thats rubbish what u guys are saying im afraid...
how to make FL play midi: go to the master FX channel, and add "Fruity LSD". Next, click on the midi out synth that has the melody you want, and change the "port" to 1. FL now plays midi :)
LOL vanguard is the best lead vst there is im afraid! all of my songs were made with vanguard for all synths ONLY! know alphazone? some of the most well know hands up trance guys... they use vanguard for the leads...
or.. if you need to scratch the vocals you made you could send them to me if u want, and ill give it a go. bogman247 att hotmail dott com is my msn messenger
lmao... lots of reverb my butt. its called a bandpass filter. either use that or EQ out high and low frequencies. you could use audacity, which is free, or any other wave editor or sequencer like FL.
for a more realistic sound use very small amounts of distortion and reverb, and play some white noise in the background.
or an even better alternative: record with a REALLY crap microphone :D
view---> playlist.... now make a little tick next to it...
firstly, as far as I am aware, you cannot make music with audicity ( unless you are talking about recording different parts of bands)
FL Studio is a good start, in my opinion it is one of the simplest programs out there. You can get a fully functioning demo of it ( but you cant save ) at www.flstudio.com
or you can change the bit rate ( i think ), but that will affect the quality quite a bit
meh.. i only use my own presets, and since a couple of months i only use my own percusion samples, i synthesise them myself. claps are hard as hell to make lol, but kicks, snares, shakes, hihats are easy :D
i know exactly which sound you mean :) . you can very easily create it yourself, just use a simple synth, and select "noise" as the waveshape. then sweep the cutoff frequency up and down :D
you cant program a sidechain vst. its an effect created by linking an audio source ( for example a kick drum, like in benny benassi's satisfaction) to the threshhold of a compressor, but backwards, so that when the kick plays the threshhold goes down.
how to do it in FL : for a benny benassi sound, just make a simple sawtooth waveshape sound on the 3xosc, and set it to FX 1. load a kick sound and set it to FX 2. in FX 1, load a compressor and set the ratio to about 2:1 . in FX 2, load a "Fruity Peak Controller", and uncheck the mute button on the bottom right of it. Now open the compressor again, and right click on the threshhold, and say link to controller. under the mapping formula put in " 1 - Input ", and under internal contoller choose "Peak ctrl - peak + LFO". now play a long note with the 3xosc, and play with the kickdrum. the 3xosc should fade out whenever you play the kick! to make it more effective, turn up the Ratio on the compressor, and mess around with the settings in the peak controller.
this is just for the benny benassi bassline sound, sidechaining is also really cool for pads :D .
i hope that helps, im sorry it was a bit confusing, i dont have FL on this computer so that was all out of my memory lol :) .
ps hey cool bounce :D you were the reason i started making music! thank you!!!!
oh wait its been there since the 30th.. is this a new track youre talking about?
your music is here : http://www.newground..567526&sub=60026
:) maybe they just allowed you in now
the synth lead is made with a saw waveshape, that should be fairly simple to make. the whistle is with a triange one, and make it slide. use 3xosc or something similar. the plucked strings are samples, i dont know where to get those really :( . for the drums, try http://www.djbb.dk/ . there are mostly loops on there, so slice 'em up.
hope this helps :)
wow thanks evil dog im honored!
i am hoping that as long as the loops are in the same key and stuff that they will all fit together okay, its not that much different than if one artist made them all ( it would be hard getting EVERYTHING to fit in with everything else anyway).
good ideas Seishin1, but customisable bpm wouldnt work (unless we exported EVERY file like 200 times lol). customisable vol would be cool... what about automatable volume? or is it too hard you think?
vg-o-matic.... now theres an idea!
ok cool! lots of positive responses :) . i recomend www.yousendit.com for uploading the files, then posting the link here. and as to the c major thing.... normal people cant tell if its written in C major or whatever, it makes absolutely no difference. try writing the piece, then transposing it down to C major or A minor. and yes, most trance music is written in minor :) .
Chronamut, please leave your name and adress and i will see to you personally.
lol
thanks :)
anyone willing to give us a few loops? im sure it would get your audio page a lot of visits :D
