oh you <3
HELLO, yes this is a thread for a chip music EP i released today but i'm cool so i'm allowed to do it (i think that's how this works yea?)
it's LSDJ and vocals
"Victory Road's self-titled not-debut is an EP of explosive pop punk chiptune anthems made with a game boy. It's all about rocking the fuck out and pretending you're a dumb teenager again.
Bonus content includes LSDJ .sav files containing all 5 songs on this EP, the best tracks from the first EP, the only surviving track from the second EP, and some cool unreleased/unfinished stuff and live mode jams. Fun and excitement!"
LINK AGAIN:

anyway yeah pls enjoy ok

when you select the loop from the browser in FL, right click and select "Open in new Fruity Slicer channel"
you might need to change the number of beats, like if it comes up with a weird tempo and length that isn't right. and you can mess around with where the slices are placed with a couple of knobs down the bottom. just try it out and play around with it, you'll get the hang of it.

yea ok gud 1 m8
but seriously, "waaaah people don't appreciate music the way i do but everyone totally should amirite". welcome to being a musician bro!
breaking news: most people don't care about music and pop/dance music is designedcspecifically to sell as many drinks as possible at bars and nightclubs.
later tonight, comparing skrillex to jordan rudess: is it pretentious and irrelevant? find out after the break!
spoilers: it is
if you're just using ASIO4All and on-board sound then definitely get a dedicated sound card/audio interface. even if you were to change nothing else the difference would still be like night and day on big projects.

are the loops playing from sampler channels or fruity slicer channels?
if it's the former you can timestretch the loops. there should be a knob on the sampler labelled TIME next to a drop down box, you can right click it and select 1 bar or 2 bars and it will fit the loop to your project tempo
i'd rather just use slicer for drumloops though, since it does all of that automatically when you load the loop and you can then easily rearrange the loop to make fills/variations.

But if I route them all to one track so I can put a filter on them as a whole, I don't want those effects i put on the snares track effecting the bass drum and the bass drums comp effecting the snare
oh, nah the other effects will stay separated to their respective instruments. stress less!

if you route the mixer tracks and not the instrument channels then no, it'll all go to the mixer track you select, effects and all :)
oh, but you'll also need to unroute all the other mixer tracks from the master track

So I was just wondering if I could be more specific with it.
you might have to just export individual words and phrases at all the different pitches and speeds and put them all together in a layer channel to get the level of control you're after. the speech synth in FL hasn't changed in like 10 years and was never designed to be used as a lead voice anyway :(
as far as word length goes, i think slicex lets you timestretch/pitchshift individual slices, i'm not 100% on that though
you would probably like squarepusher, since he is literally a bass guitar virtuso

which instruments?
make sure none of the playlist/mixer tracks or instrument channels are muted, i'm always accidentally muting stuff before i render :v
oh, and select "leave remainder" as a render option instead of wrap or cut if it's just the tail end of the song getting cut off

not possible, you need to manually automate pitch bends in 3rd party plugins.
protip: if you right click the pitch bend parameter and select "edit events" instead of "create automation clip" you can work on the automation inside the piano roll (select the pitchbend from a drop-down box at the top of the piano roll window - should be called "note velocity" by default)
whoa, dat margin between soundchris and kor-rune. ouch!
grats john! wish i'd had the time and energy to put my a-game into this round :<
results up when i wake up tomorrow morning, kgo

The paper is worthless; the education is available for free granted you're willing to study independently. Good music stands on it's own; a degree is completely moot.
A cash prize is the only thing that makes sense. Paying for a degree, you're just paying the college to stomp the innovation out of some poor "winner". Bollux to that.
yeah pretty much this, at least when it comes to technical/production degrees
on the other hand, my girlfriend is doing a music degree (flute, piccolo & composition). she's far more creative and musically open-minded compared to when she started, plus she's made lots and lots of contacts and had lots of awesome performance opportunities. although how much of that can be attributed to the degree itself is questionable (note to self: never ever ever tell her this).

completely and utterly equal in that regard.
if you have a mac you're probably better off with logic though

i'd rather die than do a music degree, just saying.

you might need to stick the VST plugins in a different folder to what you usually use, or create a new folder for the wrapper to refer to
try putting a couple .dll files in a new directory called /Users/YOUR USERNAME/Library/Application Support/FL Studio/Bottles/flstudio/drive_c/program files (x86)/vstplugins and see if they show up using the plugin refresh method. you'll probably need to enable hidden folders in finder to do that though.
i'm just twerking my song now
just kidding i have about 13 seconds written haha

If you're doing that instead of isolating the OS specific calls, you're an idiot
careful with your wording, i don't work for IL ;)
anyway the point is you can't meaningfully relate the ability to use a computer as an end user to the skill set required to port a program (which afaik relies entirely on delphi and the windows API) to another OS.

then try copying the .ttf file to /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/FL Studio/Bottles/flstudio/drive_c/windows/fonts
knowing how to use an OS is completely different to rewriting your entire program from scratch using a completely different language and architecture.
like, it might take me three days to get comfortable with driving a new car, but three days of dtiving it doesn't mean able to take all of the parts from my old one and put them in my new car and then somehow make it all work as smoothly as it did before.

The spacebar does play and pause, but R does not enable recording, unfortunately. R seems to hit a note on whatever instrument you're on.
OH. the "typing keyboard" is turned on. ctrl/cmd+T is supposed to turn it off, but you can turn it off by clicking on the icon in the recording panel.
oh, but good news! apparently the reason the text is missing in menus is because the uni computers you're using don't have the arial font. so you can get the font from here and then stick it in some wacky folder which you may or may not be able to access with student permissions. more info: http://www.image-line.com/documents/news.php?entry_id=1378290309&title=fl-studio-mac-osx-beta
