    Sample Manager - Great for Workflow

    that's actually one of the main reasons I like it. I have all my samples saved down by the kit. That's fine sometimes, but annoying when fine tuning and I want something specific. Now I can just Ctrl+F and bring back results from everything I own. I'm not sure how it is in other DAWs but in FL...

    Beat This! Competition - September 20-21, 2023

    Cool, runner-up. Thanks everyone! Tried to make something unique, glad to see folks liked it. Also, big thanks to @2GooD Productions I've been referencing his mixing article a lot over the last month to try and improve mixes.

    The Making of "Armani's Chicken Dance" (Sampling 101 & Creative Constraints)

    @Armani @ProPortionMusic @Fade and a few others were fucking around in the chat last night. It took a weird direction. Animals, what kid's are doing in high school nowadays, and you can connect the dots. Anyways, I said that I was going to incorporate animal noises in whatever I made next...

    Best headphones for mixing?

    What's up, folks. Dusty B here, aka Dusty Blender, aka Ol' Dirty, aka Chubby White, aka Smelly Balls, aka The Less Attractive Rick Rubin, aka Croc Feet, aka Crocs n Sox. Who the fuck is Dusty B? Quick question. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 400 headphones. They're pretty good with a great low...

    Dark Trap Beat || "Rampage"

    Great work here. My $0.02 would be to add a little bit of reverb/delay to the melody, I think it'll help give it more of a feeling like it has its own space vs. sounding a bit "systemic." The 808 roll is cool. p.s. if you're looking for a free feature-full DAW, check out LMMS.

    Sample Manager - Great for Workflow

    https://resonic.at/home I find the built in browser/search function in FL Studio to be pretty terrible and clunky. I came across this and it's a pretty sweet (and free) sample manager. Think a basic File Explorer but with a built in single click audio player. Figured I'd share here too in...

    (Billy Joel + Disturbed) * lots of weed = "Trap Rock"

    Been fucking around with rap/rock and other alternatives styles. I'm not really sure what I could expect over this track (Post Malone / Eminem?) maybe with a chant style hook. It's giving me Lil Wayne Rebirth vibes. You tell me. Bill Joel and Disturbed, WTF? That's why it's dusty. It should be...

    DAW + MPC 1000 Workflow

    Highlights the importance of creative constraints. Like picking a moving on Netflix vs. Blockbuster. Too much choice can lead to disadvantages.

    Darko Domijan - "Vrtovi Sna"

    Nice man, feels like a "modern old school" west coast beat. Vocals came in really clean at the end. Great beat.

    MPC Boom Bap Beat

    Cool beat, can sense some of the dance influence too. I can picture pop/hip-hop type artists over this.

    "Ramparts" | Alternative Hip-Hop Beat (Travis Barker Drum Solo Sample)

    Hi All, been enjoying making this style. Someone had mentioned that a prior alternative/rock/rap beat I posted reminded them of RTJ. I'm not really sure what to call it, you tell me! :) Been listening to Just Blaze a lot recently, this one has some of that influence (show me what you got style...

    Ms. French (Alternative/Hip-Hop Type Beat)

    Drum sample is a classic one: that I tried giving a unique twist to. Thanks for listening, appreciate it!

    FL Studio: Any way to edit channels in bulk (Cut / Cut By)?

    What's up, folks. Anyone know if there's a way to edit the Cut/Cut By settings in bulk? What I typically do is chop up my sample and then try to mess around with my controller to put together a melody, but it throws a wrench in my workflow whenever I need to stop and go into each channel...

    Darko Domijan - "Vrtovi Sna"

    Yep. Even in my real job, I think it's best to get feedback from folks who are not directly connected or have limited exposure/experience. Breaks the tunnel vision. And let's face it, when it comes to music, very few care about the technicals. If they like it they listen, if not... they click next!

    Darko Domijan - "Vrtovi Sna"

    My wife never heard any of my stuff before because I used to make beats before I met her (and that PC is long gone). She listened to some of my new beats and she told me that "they need to be more dynamic, with more frequencies, and more tempo, like Tiesto, or how Timbaland uses those "weep...
