cheers willow :)


what i listen to seems to not equate to what i produce.

lately, i've been listening more to jazz, whilst stewing for potentiality (very, very far) down the track.
the simple stuff i've also been pumping lately include the chemical brothers, infected mushrooms, daft punk, crystal method, etc.

all the stuff i posted except that last diddy have been just me learning the software and playing. that last one i actually put some concentrated effort in.

i reckon my triphappy nature brings out the mellowy, ambience in me.


i hope you guys don't mind this amateur layman whoring all out. i get excited easily when it comes to creative endeavours.
 
Alright, I was just messing around with a Fruity Loops demo version and I think I've started to figure it out. But there's a lot I still don't know how to do.

Oh well, it was only 1.5 mb's and about one minute long, so I thought I'd share it.

My First Beat

haha thanks.

I can't wait to have more of a fiddle when I get a bit more time.

I want to actually go and buy the program, as the trial is a bit limiting.

Which program would you recommend?
 
Fruity Loops is pretty damn good, and seems to float quite randomly around p2p sites, if one were that way inclined..... :)

hahahaha.

Thanks for the tip. Though one as respectable as myself would never dream of such a thing... ;)
 
i'm currently using ableton live. once my p2p copy figured it's own legitimacy, it refused to play ball, so i dloaded an upgrade which is locked in demo mode, so a main bunch of the instruments are excluded and i cannot save nor export, but i've figured a work around where i can record it using garageband and a male-male headphone jack plugged from headphones to mic ports
only prob, no real alterations after the recording.

once my wedding is out of the way, i rekon i'll fork over the hefty price for this program. it is excellent.

That's the real annoyance there, kinda the reason I want to get a non-demo version.

Yes, I can definitely see myself getting the moneys worth out of it. I might look into a slightly older version or something to save some cash.
 
I have difficulty understanding stuff that is so all over the place. there are moments i like, quite a bit i might add, many of which would serve fine as a base of a track.

i'm not averse enough to give much constructive criticism, except i'd suggest converting the file to mp3 so that it's not such a hefty download.

If you get yourself a decent audio interface, which becomes kind of essential in the end, they often come with a DAW like Live. My keyboard came with Live lite (which is crappy) and my Onxy Satellite came with Tracktion by Mackie...
 
Alright, here it is, my second beat:

Blue Noises

I think it needs a little work. I'm still figuring out Fruity Loops and still on the demo version. Tell me what you think.

Also extra points if you can guess which electronic artist/s were the major influence.
 
Here's a little experiment of mine:

http://www.mediafire.com/?cznzxjyvmyd

I started it last night, so I only have the first 16 measures so far. I'm using a canned drum loop, but the synth & bass were played by me on a midi keyboard. I'm just using Garageband, Apple's amateur music software, so I'm kinda limited. I'm probably going to be buying something a little more "pro" soon.

Anyway, tell me what you think.

EDIT: I changed the link. It now links to an updated version. I fixed the bass track up, and upped the tempo a bit.
