[QUOTE=CLungcancer;35594754]Two years? Damn, I've been at it for three years.. Well, I guess some people learn faster. I'm just wondering when you hit big because your stuff is incredible[/QUOTE] well i haven't had any calls from simon cowell as of yet but we'll see
So considering I bought a trumpet, do you guys have any online resources for beginners? All I can find is crap :v:
[QUOTE=CLungcancer;35587253]Why are you using fl 9 anyway? Moving from fl studio 9 to 10 was the best decision I've done in a while, and that was almost a year ago.[/QUOTE] Being the fact that I'm broke and I'm perfectly content and grateful for the resources I have I couldn't careless if I had 10 or not. Anyone else have any ideas on how to fix my problem ?
[QUOTE=ewitwins;35600647]So considering I bought a trumpet, do you guys have any online resources for beginners? All I can find is crap :v:[/QUOTE] I bought a trumpet a few years ago thinking I'd be able to teach myself like with guitar, not so! Unfortunately it's quite a difficult instrument, as oppsed to say, sexaphone. It's gonna be pretty hard without getting some lessons to start you off imo :( You've tried youtube right?
Me and band are thinking about getting monitors to our gig room but i was wondering if it is possible to make it so that mixer board captures sound of guitar amps and bass amps too so i can have monitor behind my back so i can hear instruments better?
This is me, feedback? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcP2SYz0Rw8[/media] From description "Hey, this is me playing guitar. I've only been playing guitar for 1 1/2 months and self-taught. I practice usually 9 hours on weekdays and 13 hours on weekends. Please give me some feedback. I'm using a Line 6 Spider 2 amp and a Squier Bullet-Strat"

Gotten a job as a studio-mixer and general sound-guy in my local town(I have 1-2 co-workes depending on what's needed). It's one of the most interesting but tiring jobs I've ever had. It's fun when you get free concerts, talk to famous people, mix and such, but on the other side you have talentless youth that have no idea how to play(in studio), don't want to use metronomes and weird artists that are really picky about everything. We're mixing for this metal-band right now, and it's the most out of time crap I've ever listened to, and they didn't want to use metronome. We spent 8 hours in ProTools stitching and listening, on the bass and drums alone. We weren't going to let the band off so easily, so we dragged the drummer and bassist into the mixing room, so they could hear how bad they were. Me and my co-worker continuously moaned, commented and laughed at the bad playing, while the bassist and drummer sat in the room with us. It was glorious!
you think thats interesting ive been staring at the 'when it rains it pours!' soundcloud screen for 30 minutes now

Our policy is that we will not polish a turd and we make everyone replay the parts until either they get it right or we give up and make them pay a fee for us to play for them

We're partly state-funded so that younger people can record their stuff, to increase the culture and music scene in my city. Problem is that most of them can't fucking play! Tomorrow, me and some of my colleagues are going to be rigging a Beatles-concert for the younger musicians in the general area. I just know it will be Yesterday, yellow submarine and let it be on repeat for the whole evening..
I'm sure you'll get a Lucy in the sky or a help somewhere
FL Studio suddenly doesn't want me to use my mouse scroll. It just doesn't work in fl studio, but in everywhere else it works fine. I've looked through the settings and there wasn't anything that could fix it (at least I didn't notice anything). Does anyone know how to fix this?

I felt like making a few songs. Either I suck horribly or I'm too inexperienced for this stuff because I end up making every song sound loosely like an another song (albeit shittier) which is a do-not-want result. Ookay. I'll let composing be for now.
[QUOTE=Yur|ko;35731569]Yup, Ableton. :v: But seriously though, try rebooting.[/QUOTE] Well.. It fixed itself. Weird [editline]28th April 2012[/editline] No, wait. It only does that when I open up a one particular project. The shit?
i was given task to make mastering and mixing for song two friends made, there is going to be alot of effects like bass drop on vocals and stuff like that but i have no idea how to make with reaper, does anyone know how to do it? (cockos reaper)
Bass drop? Like the boom in metalcore?
Hey hey musical homies, I'm selling an album on bandcamp this weekend, $2.00 CAD for over a little over an hour's worth of music. (Mostly drum & bass and drumstep with some dubstep/house) No one knows who I am so I thought I'd get some word out.
Someone tell me how to replicate or even make something vaguely similar to the bass used in this incredible electro track. It's best noticable at 1:42, right at the drop. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXJIMrsO6yc[/media] also, I started using Ableton today, and being an FL user for nearly 2 years now, I feel it'd be perhaps a good idea to transition to Ableton, would anyone agree with me?

I'm going to be a shameless self plug aswell. [url]http://hakita.bandcamp.com/album/the-core[/url]

Nothing against FL or anyone who uses it though.

That feel, when you've rigged a stage with monitors, expensive microphones, PA and heaps of other sound-equipment for a local concert/show, and get told that a group of kindergarteners are going to be marching near the edge of the stage. They were going to march in, while some brassband was playing, so of course they bumped into every mic' stand, xlr-cables and monitors that were there.. Probably one of the most nerve-wracking moments this month. Thankfully, no one got hurt and no mic's fell to the ground.
Eek. Could have been worse, a drunk brassband. The worst one is singers that just [i]have[/i] to wrap the XLR cable round their hands in some sort of death grip to the point that they manage to pull the cable out of a fully tightened Neutrik chuck ._.

One of the biggest problems were that we just got this stageplot, but with no other explanation. We did a regular sound-check and found out we'd over-rigged, so it was a lot of work to run around and adjust mic's between the acts.

We also told them that they should practice to a metronome and become tighter. They disregarded this and went ahead anyway.. That said, they were very happy about the product after we gave it a work-around. I hope that they learned to practice before going into the studio next time.
