Also, where did you get/how did you make all those crazy drum loops you could then slice up? My percussion section is still pretty weak.

That will be it's own tutorial.

That's a really good idea though, doing mixing on the same track :D

ah nubbin i see you have a backverbing test goin on...

wanted to test it out :) There are several ways to get that sound out that are alot easier which I can show you in a later tutorial :D

Absolutely go for it ! I am just doing my part to try and get some knowledge out there :D

ALSO ..

the first tutorial is done .. It's a complete song from start to finish for the fruity loops beginner :D

That's the part I'm at now in terms of learning how to do stuff to make my songs sound, well, good. So anything on that is appreciated.

Anyone making tutorials of this nature is a great person in my book, no doubt.

That's not included in the video i'm doing now, but definitely something I'm going to cover. I don't really consider myself to be amazing at mixing / mastering, but my tracks generally come out pretty clean so I'll do my best to translate what I know.

At the moment I'm editing a video of basic FL usage that will be broken into 3 parts. making a song from start to finish, to try and show people basic workflow. Then I'm gonna go ahead and get into some of the more advanced stuff :D

Hopefully this will give the beginning FL user a good place to start

So, keep in mind guys any suggestions at all :D I'll do my best to do it for you :D

if you have some specific questions just ask.

Oh man, i laughed because of the folders you have in your browser :p
''At least my girlfriend likes the... '' and ''teringherrie'' xD
I wonder what comes after ''likes the'' though :p

haha the teringherrie folder is for the some wicked hardstyle kicks, they make a great basis for resampling. I haven't used any stock kicks out of it though, I just can't justify using a real hardstyle kick all by itself :<

At least my girlfriend likes these songs*** it's the name of my new album .. dont get TOO excited.. you cheeky bastard.

ok guys the first video is up :D

Ok, so that will be the first thing. I'll open up the wizard's ascension and show you what's crappenin in that file and give you a little break down :D

I'd like a tutorial of how you do all of your classical and glitch songs. I wanna see what goes on, what kind of percussion samples you use, classical plugins/vsts/samples, that sort of thing. :)

wonderful ! :D that I can do, are you looking for just a basic overview of one of my previously released songs ? cause the full run down could take a long time.

take a hi-hat, then in channel settings, set it to arpegiate without changing pitch, then create an automation for the speed of the arpegiation, it has a different effect than simply selecting somthing and arpegiating it in the piano roll, you probably know what it sounds like

give it a try if you like

give me credit :3

Hmm i'm not quite sure I know the sound you mean I'll give it a shot :D I primarily produce IDM / Breaks myself actually.

I've been wanting to do this for a while, but things have been ridiculously crazy as of late. I haven't had the time to get down to it until very recently.

I want to do a series of instructional / tutorial videos to aid you in your musical journey.

Basically, I'll do the footwork, I just need to know what to show you. If it's something I don't know than I'll spend the time researching/ learning how to do it. Then I will put that information in a simple easy to follow video for your learning pleasure.

>>IMPORTANT<<
Please note, I'm not trying to say that I'm the greatest producer since sliced bread, nor that I'm any better than any of you on here. I'm just very willing to help with what I can and assist in learning things that we both don't know. It's going to be a learning experience for me as well as for you.

Please respond in here with any suggestions towards video's or tutorials that I could start with.

Don't be afraid, nothing is too taboo or ridiculous to try and pull off :D

I'm down :D Finding myself very, un-busy during the days lately.

I know what you mean for some reason i just can't get ahold of that DNB sound :(

Oh wow, that's not only some random you tube users, that's a stamped IGN video ... Gratz bro, you're in the big leagues now hahaha

I'm in, i'm collabing with Oscillist

Gone are the days when a person could get a couple turntables and a mixer and create amazing pieces of music.
We are now living in an age where, if you want to be a DJ, you have to spend thousands of dollars on various pieces of equipment and computer programs in order to first produce your own piece, and then mix it.
Frankly, I can't afford all of it, hence why I'm able to find such joy in arranging premade loops with Garageband. Everyone on this site has such a problem with arranging tracks, saying that you absolutely must create your own loops in order to be a legitimate musician or to create legitimate music.
I've got news for y'all, not everyone is a piano player, some people are simply drummers, so making synth loops is a little more difficult for us. And not everyone can afford to splurge on huge computers and numerous programs and pieces of equipment, some of us just have to use what we are given.

So from now on, you keyboard purists need to stop acting like you rule newgrounds, you're just another musician in a long line of musicians.
Using premade loops basically equates to the way old school DJs used to party, by taking samples of popular pieces of music and arranging them through a mixer.
I know I'm not the only one out there getting a little steamed by the fact that people who can afford to spend on nice equipment and tons of programs and gadgets are running around Newgrounds putting people down for using premade loops.

You say I'm not a real musician for using premade loops? I say you're nothing more than a spoiled kid with an attitude who has forgotten his DJ roots of sampling like any underpaid/underprivileged DJ would do.

And sure, even I feel the limits of how I choose to make music, Garageband is a very basic program, but the fact is that is really all I have to work with because it not only came free with my computer, it's a full program so I can have as many tracks/racks as I want, I'm not limited to 4 racks like I am with the MULAB demo, and I'm not limited to just a microphone input like it seems to be with Audacity. With Garageband, if I can't find a useable loop, I try and make one. However Garageband seems to have a problem with VSTs so this is a bit difficult, and I've used every preset effect Garageband comes with.

The fact is, I enjoy creating a full piece of music with what I got. I'm able to at least get the FEELING of what I wanted to express out, and if I'm not fully satisfied, I break out my VSTs and go to work.

Let's discuss

Ok first off ... piano players ?! Wtf does that have to do with anything. I can't play piano at all. But I've got upwards of 100 tracks all fully produced by me. And fun fact: They aren't just drums.

Secondly, I'm broke as fuck. I've been homeless twice. Get off your damned high horse, you're not going to justify your lack of motivation by trying to play the "Poor kid " card. It's not going to fly here.

THIRD! There's a difference between sampling and ripping off a premade loop. most of the people here on newgrounds ( Even those spoiled rich kids you seem so keen on addressing) are using samples. The difference is that they know how to cut the samples so as not to blatantly obvious.

I say you're not a real musician because you lack the experiance and desire to learn. Not because you use premade loops. Using premade loops is just the symptom for the condition.

There are nefarious ways to obtain software, and since you're already cool with stealing loops, you might as well go balls deep and get yourself a copy of fruity loops.

Your argument is flimsy and incredibly ill-informed.

Take the time to learn how to write a synth line. Spend some hours learning about mastering and sound design. Using loops that someone else made isn't talent.

Also, learn the difference between a DJ and a Producer.

So I tend to ask this of all posts who are requesting some form of music. Do you have any examples of work? Music tends to come later in the production life of a game unless it is a rhythm game. That being said, you don't need to look for a musician till you have a demo or place holder song(s) that need to be replaced. What are your plans to do with the music? Exclusive rights to music can be very costly.

Ditto :)

I'm always interested in working with game developers, but I want to make sure it's going to be mutually beneficial :D

Because god forbid you leave the neighborhood.

Go to whatever norway has instead of malls. Like a snowbank or something, find some guys your age.

I only like being around a select few of my age. Mostly I find them very childish, and I guess that's part of my problem. Blegh, whatever.

I think it's time for you to Grow down. Just remember man, life is WAY too short to take anything too seriously. You need to live it up while you still can. I used to be like that. WAY too condescending about everything. Eventually i just learned how to see color again. (metaphor i'll explain in a second) It's absolutely changed my life. I mean, if i can go through being rich to homeless twice in a matter of 2 years, and still enjoy life like i never have before, (Without drugs) there's got to be SOMEthing going on.

As far as seeing color goes. It's an old game my mom used to play with me.

Basically in the car she would call out a color. And I would have to name off all the things that were said color.

She'd say red and all of a sudden the world seemed to be overflowing with red things. Signs, cars, buildings, clothes. Everything was red. But then, in almost an instant, she'd throw purple out there and BAM! Purple everywhere.

In retrospect, it wasn't about the colors, it was about teaching my mind to focus on certain things.
Like with the colors, as I would focus on the color red, all i could see was red things, or purple , or blue depending on the choice she made. When I focus on the exciting wonderous things in life, and don't even give the negatives a second glance, it's very easy to forget the annoying, bad, and obnoxious things in this world even exist.
(inb4 ZOMG you need to be aware of your surroundings and whats going on in your world) You can still pay attention to what people are saying and doing, but it makes it very easy to not get caught up when someone makes a mistake or does something stupid :)

ANYWAY :D That's my 2 cents. Take it for what it's worth and give me the change if you'd like.

can I have your stuff ?

SRSLY though. I know exactly what you mean. Truth be told this is the best time to make music. If you can capture that hopelessness and desolation that you're feeling right now and toss it into some music, you're going to find a whole different style of music you didnt' even know you could make.

And you can take that to the bank.

Someday... I want to be an underdog :(

Bur SRSLY

Oscillist... ZOMFG This guy has the potential to be making mainstream DNB.

also

Spikrodd and POOPR are intense as my balls.

Add Rig onto that list, because i don't think people realize how good rig really is.
One word: Cardboard.

I'm down :) look at my song list. "dog walk demon battle" is pretty 8bit got others too

I'm sorry man, the rules make this contest terrible. The beat is boring and redundant. If we can't change the beat, or add on to it then there's no point in even trying.

I'm still free, and alone. If anyone want to team, send me a PM . Or i'll just pound something out on my own

I suppose I can take his place :)

1. August Sargenti
2. Uhhh
3. IDM / DNB / BreakCore
4. I generally make songs, but i like when they loop, that's neat :D
5. I can grow a pretty mean beard when the time is right.
