I've been trying for the past two or three months to make a decent trance track, or anything for that matter, But haven't been able to get anything going.

My two biggest problems are percussion, and synths.

I guess I could use a few tips on where to get inspiration if that's possible...

Help?

try starting out by making a simple bass line and then build up a good sounding main beat that goes along with the bass. or even find another song that has a synthisised bassline and listen to it. it might give you some ideas

How do i use the EQ correctly? I mean my songs usually sound too 'squashed' and doesn't sound professional. By pro i mean hearing the lead synth clearly as well as other instruments, not dulled down and compressed.

Thanks,

No, you're wrong. I'm considering upgrading from Producer to XXL when I can afford it.

Hey, is there anyway to get the FL Vocoder effect with out altering the melody of the vocals?

Yep... Link the audio clip with the vocals to the vocoder.

Yeah but dont you need to also link a carrier up to it don't you? And the carrier needs to be playing the whole time.

This discussion breaks the rules. I refuse to answer any longer.

You can find loads of VST plugins on the net that might help out, many are free and many others cost money. You can also download some better percussion samples, since the ones that come with the program are pretty bad IMO. One VST that I like to use is z3ta but that costs money.

If you dont have any new drum samples, and just have the ones that come with FL... Try using the dance snare number 3 for rolls, thats the best one for them o.O

I am a newbie in making music.

Some one can recomend a programs that make music for novices?
I allready read the audio help page, but is too complicated to me.

I want a program very simple to make music. Like Mario Paint composer (you know what I am talking about?). One program that I chose the Instrument and the note and put in right place. Also, the program must be a freeware( no demos or trials, please).

Thanks for atention!

I'm sorry to tell you that there's really no program out there for free that's not a trial where you can compose your own music. There could be one somewhere but I'm not exactly sure where or what it is.

I highly recommend a FL Studio or Reason trial though. Get a feel for them and buy one.
I would suggest that you get FL Studio, it's very easy to use and you can pump out tracks in no time.

Sorry I can't be of more help. :/

So, if I want to make my own music I have no choice but buy a program?

Everyone how subimmit audio to newgrounds payed for a program?

Man, I am so sad..

You can use the demo of FL studio... it's essentially the full program, you just cant save your work. So if you get good with the demo you can always save up to buy it.

Ok...

Now I will ask about another thing.

I want to remix video-game musics, and I like to know about the notes that I have to play. I dont know how to explaing (I dont know the word, I not speak english very well). I think that is the Notes. For exemple, for mario music I play the notes E,E,E,C,E,G,G,C,G,E,A,B,A#,G,E,G,A,F,G,E ,C,D,B ...

Some one know one site that have these things that I am talking about?

Yes, I do.

This site is called VGMusic, and they specialize in making midis for video games.

What a Midi is, is a file that is like sheet music (with notes) for your computer! Download one, and, inside FL Studio, go to File -> Import, navigate to the midi, and open it up!

For your first question, you don't need to buy FL7 to publish its music. To work around the fact that you can't save, just minimize it instead of closing it, and nevre log off or shut down ur computer. They let us render it as an mp3 file, so you dont really need to save. For your other question, I would suggest chordie.com, I use it personally for my guitar playing. Just click on wntry that says "Chords" instead of "tabs".

Hey guys, I am just wondering, how do i add notes? Like the grey and rich brown boxes?

Right click on teh channel or synth you want to add the notes to and click "send to piano roll"

What?

Never logoff or turn off the computer???

LOL

But thanks with the others information, but I didnt understood well.
Save in MP3 and do what????

Anyone know why the sound quality of my music gets worse after I save it as mp3 with FL? The guitar starts giving off wierd buzzy noises on the mp3 but not when im listening to it in FL itself...
