    The drum choice for this is on point. Super gritty. The video fits it perfectly. Sounds like a psychological thriller murder mystery type beat. The one gripe I have is that I think it needs something to change it up, I feel like my ear is waiting for a drum changeup and maybe a different...

    Thanks man. Funny thing is I turned the vocals down quite a bit when i went back over the track the other day. I guess I should have kept them where they were.

    Let's Talk About FL Studio... (video)

    Hah, yep, thats pretty much me. I spent a lot of time scratching my head when i got some new toys that came with demo versions of other DAWs and eventually gave up in favor of going back to FL. I don't see either or bad per-say. I will say that FL's stock plugins are rather underwhelming, but...

    Let's Talk About FL Studio... (video)

    I only really start to notice it when FL gets into the 60% and up CPU load range. The Dirty North beat I made a few weeks ago was hovering at 80-90% CPU by the end of it and it absolutely required me to turn the latency up because it became impossible to even play in the timeline. It would...

    Let's Talk About FL Studio... (video)

    Another gripe I'll have with FL recording is that it constantly outputs the audio out of the channel you set the recording to, which includes the effects on it. If I want to use OVOX to do some fucked up processing on the vocals then that OVOX channel will do that to every background noise that...

    Let's Talk About FL Studio... (video)

    I love FL, but i also hate FL. Particularly for plugin support reasons (Native instruments being the big one here). The NI support in FL is dogshit at best. Also I've had multiple occasions now where FL completely forgot where my plugins are and I had to manually find them and try to get them...

    Not just a beat in this one, I've posted the beat for this before, but last year I recorded over it so I figured I'd post it after doin some tweaking yesterday and the day before. Like I said in the chat, it probably belongs in the insane asylum. Whatever though. I recorded it with the...

    Some good stuff here. Battle of the mind: The bass in this is straight fire. I really like the soundscape as well. Everything has its spot and nothing is out of place. Has a reflective, somber tone to it. The only thing I have against it is the vocal cut. I don't hate it, but i don't love...

    Lets talk Linux

    In the one or two times that I've played around in a Linux OS variant I've always found something show stopping even before I thought of making music on it. Spending even 30 minutes to get a program to run is more than too long for me to want to use it, let alone longer (if it's even possible...

    Ok, I finally got some time to listen to what everybody uploaded, and I intend on posting feedback for everything. I'm going to do it like I usually do, and listen as I'm typing, and get my initial input and then go back and edit once I'm done the beat. I owe y'all that much at least for not...

    Just woke up for work, probably won't make it back in time for voting. Good luck out there everyone. Also I can definitely say that coming here has improved my sound substantially in the short time I've been here. Kinda why I was looking for a forum in the first place. The added benefit to...

    What you use to make beats is very important

    Agreed, every beat I've ever made has started of with me hitting random notes in a semi-educated guess order until I find something I like. Thats more than likely a detriment in my case, but you gotta start somewhere I guess. Granted I know fuckall about what scales I'm playing, and even less...

    Hey, if you've got your grade 3 and your PO will let you leave to go to work despite your ankle monitor, it's a living.

    Just doin a final once over on the beat, and its got me involuntarily groovin in my seat so thats probably a good sign. I'm like Micheal J Fox over here.

    What gear is everybody rocking?

    Nice set up you got there. How do you like the presonus sub? I have the e5xt's and I find them a bit lacking in the lower register and I was considering buying something to fill out the sound. Probably not gonna pick anything any time soon, i don't really have the space, or the cash to be...

    Mumble or dumble?

    Yep. That's what I've been saying the whole time. A stupid population is a consumer population.
