funnest gig ever saturday night. played a good 4 hours well into the morning with people going absolutely bananas pretty much from start to finish. set went perfectly, dropped a couple original tunes to full on hands-in-the-air and general out-rocking. GREAT party. i've got the first hour or so recorded and will post asap.

OMG. OMG. Fruity Loops is fucking AWESOME!! =D

I was playing it with it for hours yesterday. I'm addicted to it now.

I'm so glad that I live in a time when you can make music with just a computer and some software. Back in the day you would have to pay thousands just for one synthesizer.

Okay, these are the first two songs I've ever made in my life. I was really surprised that they actually sound like music. And it was so FUN making them! :D

I don't know why I didn't start doing this sooner...

Some weird breakcore sounding thing...

I was trying to make this sound like early 90's techno or trance..

A little bit rough around the edges...

So anyways, does anyone know of a decent book that explains the basics about making electronic music? I know virtually nothing about it, but I would like to...
 
Youtube has a lot of tutorials on using various different programs.. although FL isn't really great for fleshing out an entire track, I believe.

edit: another thing is you seem not to be too knowledgable about electronic styles... brush up on what each style generally consists of and that'll give you an idea of what you're doing. (i.e. breakcore is generally 200+ bpm)

Indeed, FL studio is highly under-appreciated in my opinion. :) Very interesting stuff, certainly on the more experimental side for most first-time FL users...most people just pop out a Sytrus preset over a 4-to-the-floor beat and call it a day, heh. Kudos to you. :D Oh, and out of curiosity, what's that warbly lead instrument you're using in the second song?

...

Um, and would this thread be a good place to ask for comments about stuff I'm working on too? I feel a little self-conscious using the "your productions go here!" thread.
 
wassup strangers?

my mate linked it on facebook and its a fuckin belter!

Yeah, I know that isn't breakcore. I just didn't know what to call it. So, I said the closest thing I could think of.

The only things I used were the regular kick drum, triangle 303, and SH101T. You're probably talking about the SH101T. It's under the TS4042 category in FL 8. Not sure if it's in the 9th edition.
 
Why isn't techno more popular in the USA? Why do I have to drive all the way to Detroit to find it being played? :( :!

Oh well. Maybe that's a good thing. As soon as the masses catch on to some musical genre, it usually turns to shit. 8)
