RpTheHotrod Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Aight, well as y'all know (I'm from Texas, so I'm allowed to say y'all), I'm a pianist. In general, that's solo work so your style has to be self contained with one instrument. SO, I was thinking, you know, why not download FL Studio demo and see what it's like with multiple things. So, foolishly, I jumped right in and started messing around XD Anyway, I have not read any tutorials or anything, so I reeeally don't know what I'm doing, but I figured I'd throw my first two "let's do this and that and this other thing and see what happens" songs up here. Neither of the following have an "ending" per say. First one was just a test of throwing together multiple instruments together for a song to see what it'd sound like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdEw718e3FY&fmt=18 The next one was, well, I don't know. I was in a weird mood, so I tried doing a techno-ish one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3-2UE-9Vhc&fmt=18 Now I need to start learning the program. Tutorials, here I come! Anyone know any good ones? Also, if I decide to get into it, I'll buy FL Studio 9. Anyone know any good music bundles I should also get(free or otherwise)?
Dath Maximus Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 god damned texans, more like southern oklahoman
RpTheHotrod Posted April 18, 2010 Author Posted April 18, 2010 Whoa now, you're just askin' for trouble, son. We ain't no Brokelahomions.
Dath Maximus Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 being from kansas, i know that refering to anyone as an oklahoman is like the greatest insult there is
RpTheHotrod Posted April 25, 2010 Author Posted April 25, 2010 Test3 up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH_avpQ0BjI&fmt=18
IG-64 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 I really like the latest one. Getting more into the kind of techno I prefer (which I think is futurepop/synthpop).
jon_hill987 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Seems like a good start for someone who has not tried a tutorial. I would recommend uploading them as mp3 files (320kbps) in the future as the youtube compression makes anything sound hideous. Youtube is not for music people!
RpTheHotrod Posted April 25, 2010 Author Posted April 25, 2010 Oh, I agree about youtube. It sucks for music! Any ideas for easy access listening where people don't have to download the files to listen?
jon_hill987 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Ah yes, if you want people to be able to stream it there are not any other options I know of. They may exist though...
RpTheHotrod Posted May 22, 2010 Author Posted May 22, 2010 Still a lot of change/tweak on it, not to mention put more of a song into it. I just threw together a quick ending so it didn't feel like a drop at the end. Massive work in progress, but I figured I'd share it so far http://www.mediafire.com/file/zt5tjqerjzh/Rps First Step.mp3
Dath Maximus Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 first thoughts...it sucks having said that, i will now download it and actually listen to it
acdcfanbill Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 First thoughts: Dath's sig makes me lulz Cool. It seems to me to be a kind of bittersweet tune. Something you would see in a romcom when both leads are required to do something that separates them but they feel obligated to do anyway.
RpTheHotrod Posted May 26, 2010 Author Posted May 26, 2010 So EverQuest is going through a contest and celebration type'a'thang. I have not played EverQest in over a decade, but I jumped in and was like....hellz yeah! Let's celebrate! I then followed up by corrupted their beaufitul, elfy, lovey dovey theme song and posted it on their forums. (warning, LOUD!) Before: Everquest After: HappyQuest Download HQ link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/zoy2naxmmx3/Happy_Quest.mp3 Get down, elven folk! Wooo!
RpTheHotrod Posted June 3, 2010 Author Posted June 3, 2010 So I was foolin' around on the keyboard with the exorcist theme song (I've always found it intriguing!) and I kept adding to it more and more and so far I'm up to this XD Not finished though. (youtube craps out audio quality, beware) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKA5OsO6KQU&fmt=18 So, the real question is....while people play beautiful music on the piano, why does exorcist come to my head to doodle with? o-o
jon_hill987 Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 It is called Tubular Bells. Though it was used in the opening for The Exorcist it wasn't specifically written for it.
RpTheHotrod Posted June 3, 2010 Author Posted June 3, 2010 It is called Tubular Bells. Though it was used in the opening for The Exorcist it wasn't specifically written for it. Most people don't know what Tubular Bells is, so I was just saying it was from Exorcist since most know what that is. To be more specific, it's called "Sentinel". Go Mike!
IG-64 Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Not bad. I particularly liked parts starting at 0:35 1:08 and 1:38. Keep making songs, I like them. Also, merged your music threads so you can keep them in one spot.

RpTheHotrod Posted June 9, 2010 Author Posted June 9, 2010 How much'd FL Studio run you? ;D I bought the fullest edition, so it was about $300 before expansions and other VSTs.
RpTheHotrod Posted July 4, 2010 Author Posted July 4, 2010 It has been bugging me that I did not make an ending (right now it just cuts out). I still have not added a good one, but I threw together a placeholder ending to it. Also, just for jon_hill987, I added a true exorcist piano roll in there!
