I love an offtopic bread thank you :)
>>729387969This is /v/, that's a game
>>729387859what are the dlcs? asking for a friend that has every skill to make a videogame except music production experience
fruity loops?
please, I just installed fl studio, tell what are the most useful VSTs and presets I beg you
>>729388213idk maybe kickstart for easy sidechain kicksand a synth with a shit ton of online presets like serum2
>>729388213odin2 is a good synthesizer if you want to take the time to learn subtractive synthesisIf you have a guitar NAM universal is the best free amp sim
>>729387859Damn close but not Pokemon.
If I could go back in time I would use the opportunity to tell thirteen-year-old me to start with Ableton or Logic Pro instead of FL Studio. I hate FL so goddamn much especially now that it's a dead end because they're cramming in AI chord maker criminal nigger rap shit instead of allowing more than 10 FX slots or adding a "non-loop" mode where every pattern clip is unique like every other DAW.
>>729388967what DAW does japanese people use (the only country that makes good music)?
>>729388213You can get pretty far with just FLEX and downloading free soundfonts or sample packs online, so id start with getting familliar with whatever you have available now.for a real answer to your question, serum 2. but it also depends on what genres you are trying to make
What's the best DAW if I want to try one out for first time? I'm willing to pirate and mostly care about piano and strings
>>729389118The only country that makes good music is Hungary (Liszt).
>>729389283Cubase and BBCSO Discover.
>>729387859dbfz selling labcoat 21and soon dbfz selling ssj4 goku
>>729387859You know there are other boards you can make threads on. You don't have to post every shitty thread you come up with on /v/ and pretend it's about games.
>>729389118Cubase is the most used, Studio One second>>729387859seething about emphasis being all plugins only?
>>729389572Even over everything else listed like FL or Ableton? There are just so many
>>729388967Use the piano roll retard
>I'm going to make beatscringe>I'm going to draw mangacringe
>>729388213i recall using sytrus to good effect. its FM modulation is quite a handy tool for making decent and complex sounds. only issue I ever struggled to do was making pitch-percussion and more brassy noise, but that was probably my own inexperience.
>>729390172>FM modulationoops i'm retarded i always do that hehe
>>729388213>installed fl studiololhttps://fl.studio/studio

>>729390434yikes
>>729388213unironically use autogun and ogun
What is a game /v/?
>>729389876FL is shit for beginners unless you only make loop-based rap or EDM. It's literally the DAW for nigger-brained niggers.
>>7293905734chan should have more hyper niche boards like /po/
>>729390460Terminal autism.
If you can't figure out how to use FL Studio, it's a skill issue I'm afraid. It might be most accessible for hoodrats to make dogshit beats, but it's still a fully functional DAW too.
>>729390804the hard part is making something that doesn't sounds like shit and being aware of all the useful features that are hidden deep within fl studio's asshole, that's kind of like the blender problem
>>729390970That's fair, I suppose. I can't bemoan people for finding it hard to unearth the actually good shit inside because they don't make it easy at all. One of the reasons so many music production tutorials are FL Studio. That and it just being wildly popular I guess.
>>729390434Man, webdevs are the niggers of developers
what's a good place to get vsts these days?there is one specific Korg one i'd love to find again.
>>729388213Depends of what you want to make, cinematic scores Zebra2, EDM Diva, Serum is also ok, but most presets are trash and there are 2 millions of them.Have a lot of HD space and want to fuck around? get Kontak 8

Since then I've been experimenting with more cinematic/orchestral but the learning curve is tough.>>729392056Stop being a retarded zoomer. Everything you need is on there.

>>729387859>>game is marketed to players using competitive level of play which 99% of consumers will never experiencehuh? FL is the most casual retard-friendly gimmicky DAW there is, I don't think it even pretends to be serious
I don't care about DAW autism, I just use mine to load up VSTs so I can play my MIDI piano in real time.
>>729392257I liked the drop but everything before it isn't really my kind of music. Sounds well done thoughthis is my most effortful song I've made so far https://voca.ro/1hwYQjMerzde

>>729387859hop on lovely composer
Is there any online sequencing game we could play together?
>>729391848https://voca.ro/1a3JJEKlwgdX
>>729388213Serum is the best synthesizer for beginners since it visually shows you how your changes affect the sound. Its also very powerful so you can use it for every project no matter the genre.Nexus used to be mandatory but as >>729389212 says you can use FLEX as your default sampler.Also, I would recommend you download at least Vengeance Club Sounds 3 from >>729392279. Depending of who you used to listen in the 2010s, you'll realize those samples were fucking everywhere and the drums are really good to this day.
>paying for a dawit's the same model that Photoshop used to use. They don't give a shit about piracy because once you learn how to use it and reach a point where you can have disposable income to buy their products, you're going to end up buying it anyway.Best advice is to just pirate now before people get wise and end up doing the shit that Reason has started doing
>>729388213>>729394474To add some vital presets: There's this guy named frank pole who "emulates" very known VSTs inside FL Studio's patcher and gives them for free. I always use finalizer as a mastering chain, also, the soothe clone as saved my life countless times, I'd advise you to check his channel once you realize you want one of those expensive plug-ins and then you patch the clone instead.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8a5la4pz_g
>>729394343nice
How do I git gud at music and FL? My retarded dream is to make music for indie games.
>>729395242practice practice practice

Ableton boomers rise up
>want to DAW>daily drive linuxIt hurts. Music production is the only thing that I miss being able to do well on Windows.
I keep seeing people recommend Logic Pro, but I'd have to use a goddamn fucking Mac product. Disgusting. Video games, huh?
>>729391848https://voca.ro/1evQ1khyEsIa>>729393112Very nice. I like the chord progression and build up.>>729394343Sounds like menu music.
>>729388213PG-8X for subtractive synthesis, Dexed for FM
>>729395397ableton really is the way, but i can't be the guy coming into a thread and shitting on FL studio on /v/.
>>729392279Drum kits aren't the problem, I need to git gud
>>729395242If you don't know shit about music theory, learning will always help, but its not mandatory for using a DAW if you just want to make EDM or VGM.What you need to learn 100% is music production. How to use a synth, how to mix and EQ your instruments so the final product doesn't sound like shit. There's endless info in youtube but for every hour you spent watching shit you need to invest another one practicing, otherwise it will be useless.Producing more tracks is better than spending months into the "perfect track". You won't get better until you finish whole tracks, evaluate them, and then you start all over again.>>729395473Just use FL or Ableton unless you really know what you're looking for.
>>729387859>Rigger software
>>729390460Music requires the spark of the divine soul which only the White European Christian man, made in God's image, possesses
>>729395882True. Advanced harmony is a concept only the white man can truly grasp deeply.

>>729391848I'm mostly an EDM guy, so I only have a few projects for soundtracks, an even then my old habits kick. I'm planning to remake this one since I like the structure but I'm fucking atrocious at mixing guitars https://vocaroo.com/1fzDPLBB63lB>>729395502Very relaxing, the distorted synth at 0:40 caught me off-guard, feels like exploring some old destroyed chapel.
>>729389118Ching chong ping pong is the most used by far
>>729387859Why is this mostly used by Ns?
>>729396691Loop-based pattern system and built-in drum sequencer. Easy for the nignog brain to understand.

I hope you faggots didn't meme me into picking Ableton as my point of entry

you can teach someone how to operate the software but you can't teach them how to be creative
>>729388967You can make whatever you want in fl, but it has a weird set up.>limited mixer slotsUse patcher retard kun. Patcher is literally infinite you can run patcher inside patcher inside patcher until your pc crashes.

>>729387859Where can I download a cracked FL Studio?
Is it worth it for me to now and then squeeze half an hour in and chuck notes at the piano roll with 0 editing not having any idea of how to work the program otherwise or should I leave it for when I have the time to practice daily for a decent amount of time?It's bad enough that my music is ass, but it's much worse that I can't even remotely translate what I have in mind into sound.

I downloaded fl studio trial and made songs for you guys. I don't really know music theory but I turned on the scale highlighting so I wouldn't be out of key. This stuff is pretty fun I might make a hobby it of it.https://voca.ro/1bRR2DKsg8BPhttps://voca.ro/1btzOY2XReqC
>>729403563You've got the right idea anon. Keep it up. Go to the vocaroo thread on /mu/ right now!

>>729403563where's the scale highlighting option?
>>729404478Nigger is almost 2026 his the duck do you not know how to pirate?
>>729404379I just wish vital had better sample support like setting loop points. I actually like using it like a rompler on steroids sometimed because I find its interface super easy to use.
>>729404670I think it's under the view tab in the piano roll.
Since this is an offtopic slop thread, somebody tell me how to get started with learning the piano without a teacher
>>729405176oh i found it i had no idea that the grid's background color shows the scale
>>729405374But a beginner book and use that until you can sightread well enough to try harder songs. After a certain point you'll be able to do it by ear.

>>729403563to me the first track sounds like something that would have been in a Secret of Evermore 2. the second...what was that supposed to be, off kilter. "zany circus" music? learn more music theory and you'll learn to communicate that better.

>>729389118REAPER (aw, man!)
>>729387859I pirated it and all my VST plugins and it has JustWerked(tm) for many years, mainly for synthpop and adjacent genres.Granted I've never actually released anything but that's mainly because I just consider it a hobby.
Some bs sketches i was working on. https://vocaroo.com/1nJZ3g947ORthttps://vocaroo.com/1gRTCuE8ZXUmhttps://vocaroo.com/14WuZEYf1FD7what do you guys think
>get a crack for FL studio>it involves editing some setup files as the program installs>try it on Linux>cant get it to work right
>>729387859FL noob hereHow to I extend samples? like I want it to hold on the note longer but even if I extend it it just stops when the sfx would end....
>>729411105In the sampler you want stretch pro on and then you can mess with the time knobIf it's per-sample in the Playlist, adjust its size while those stretch arrows are on
>>729388213AlyJames labs VST's are pretty cool but a bit of a learning curve. I'd grab some older VST's like ReFX Vanguard or Nexus hacked versions to get yourself going. Learn the different types of waveforms and synth layering "types" then just start using patcher to make more unique combos / sounds.
>>729391848going to risk itsome excerpts of various finished/unfinished projects of mine, some dating back a couple years - never released any of it thoughvocals on tracks #3 and #5 by synth-v (basically vocaloid, NOT to be confused with ai slop)https://vocaroo.com/1QI2u2xOiV9jhttps://vocaroo.com/1iNp6t9evdbqhttps://vocaroo.com/136ngrTSXO17https://vocaroo.com/1wUSlN8rgQsihttps://vocaroo.com/1ozv0zS2Bm39
>>729388967Like any tool a DAW needs to be messed with till you find a tool-chain / workflow that gets you what you want. Sometimes its non-conventional setups in the end that create the most interesting soundscapes.Ableton/Logic have consistent tutorial based workflows that make it easier to understand how to get from empty project to something decent while FLStudio gives you a ton of knobs and options with no real direction on what to do. They are giving out free project files still so use those to learn how others setup a workflow and try it out.
I installed Ableton, now how do I make tunes using the piano and/or strings? There must be two levels to this, learning music theory and learning the software
>>729390573first time i've ended up in the purist/purist square on one of these. and if you're anywhere else, kys.
>>729391848here's something i started on a whim an hour ago, still a demo and really really unfinished obviously because i'm experimenting with snes sounds for the first timehttps://vocaroo.com/1oeLvm3ZQCyShere's something that's actually finished too but not posted or anything anywhere yet - beware: loud, turn yo shit down https://vocaroo.com/1mW4vyX2ptQP

>>729410574second one called rectumstretchingwithapineconecore.mp3?
How do I git gud at mixing/mastering bros?
>>729413751Because poor imitations of great European composers played by technically competent but soulless bug musicians is still better than modern Western esgslopThe best vidya music may be Japanese, but the best music sure isn't
>>729390460Of course it's not all Japanese, but I really think enka note/chord progressions are a big part of the fun in Japanese game music. Splatoon 3 tracks are a good example of OSTs that borrow from that genre. https://youtu.be/lw1XwyW39ukhttps://youtu.be/FZkRBjjZVRACan any anons recommend me a crash course in enka music theory? I want to encorporate that sound.
