Help Me Unlock the Enigma That is FL Studio

I understand it at a basic level, but I just can't seem to get the same quality sounds as everyone else. I can't make melody's worth a crap, and a I don't know how to make it not sound dead.

There's not enough info there for me.

Re: Help Me Unlock the Enigma That is FL Studio

whatever you need help with, you should post in there, instead of making a new thread, and someone will help you
the information that could be in that thread is not limited to what's in there now.
also if you want help you should be more specific
making a melody isn't really fl studio help either, it's general music theory help

Re: Help Me Unlock the Enigma That is FL Studio

I agree with KgZ - loads of other people are really good with FL


I'm a trancehead, so for me, a lot of what makes my tracks sound alive are the arpeggios and pads, as well as a progression. You should send me one of your .flp files, so I can annotate it and give you tips or something, if you wanted

Or, just keep messing around with FL until you get good. It's what I did.

Yeah, what DJS said... Honestly, you just need to mess around with FL for a while until you figure out how everything works... My advice would be to learn what everything you can control with automation does--they will do WONDERS in the future...

P.S. Getting .flp's of demos from pros is helpful too--I've got one or two from sanxion, and I look at them to figure out how he does everything.

To both of you:

There's the FLP for the River Flows In You remix. If you don't have some of the plugins, it may not make sense.

Enjoy.

Took me close to three years to make what I do now. Take your time. Knowing how to use software will not write you better melodies.

Melodies should be memorable. Simple or complex, a good melody is (IN MY OPINION) the most important part of a song. A melody can be technically anything. However it's up to you how you want to define it. The melody is what makes a song memorable and catchy, so while writing it, you should be asking yourself, "Is this something I could sing or hum to that would take very little or no effort at all to think about?".

I'll go into more detail if you want.

Re: Help Me Unlock the Enigma That is FL Studio

but wait! all of my music has piano it lol
