Samples/Plugins/Software/Gear / FL Studio Plugin Manager Help
« on: September 15, 2016, 10:38:13 am »
I have just purchased a new laptop and loaded FL Studio 12.1 onto it. I have a few custom VSTs such as Ambience, which I have placed into a VST folder. Then in the Plugin Manager I have added that as a path, performed a scan which has found the VSTs in the plugin manager. However these don't then appear in the plugin database. Everywhere I look online seems to indicate that they should just load automatically, but I feel like I could be missing something really really obvious.

Any help here is really appreciated.

Hi guys,

I recently formed a duo called Steady State  & we have just released our first song. A melodic dubstep/future bass of You Hear Us by The Union.
Please let me know what you think!


Thanks,

Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Best mixes for inspiration?
« on: January 27, 2016, 11:56:21 am »
I was recently listening to San Holo's BBC1 XTRA initiation mix while revising and it really inspired me. The music he makes is so unique, so euphoric & thought-provoking and made me desperate to finish exams and get back in the studio.

Any body else found any mixes that do the same for them?

Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Motto or Mantra that motivates you.
« on: January 27, 2016, 10:52:50 am »
A few weeks ago I stumbled across a saying that was posted with no relevance to music whatsoever. But it just stuck in my brain and when I'm feeling unmotivated it gets me going again, so I thought I'd share it with you guys and see if any one else had any of their own!

"I haven't come this far, to only come this far"

Don't know if its been suggested before but a simple mobile app that allows you to view topics and reply to posts would be very handy!

Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / WAVO competitions a joke?
« on: January 25, 2016, 10:13:42 am »
I wasn't entirely sure where to post this, but it has seriously knocked my inspiration recently so I thought I'd go here.

I recently entered the remix competition for Hardwell's Mad World. Yes I know that the world will be saturated with Mad World remixes for the next month but I genuinely do love the vocals and wanted to put my own spin on it.

I made a future bass remix, which might not be earth-shattering but it is pretty good if I may say so myself. Yet it sits down in 84th place in the charts. Don't get me wrong some of the entrants above me a very very well produced. But some are just a joke.

7th place with 200+ votes sounds like a 12 year olds first remix. I'm all for encouraging young kids to produce, but the quality of that remix is just poor and does not deserve 200 votes or 7th place in the charts.

Then we come to 8th place, again with over 200 votes. It is a mashup. Made on virtual DJ. It shouldn't even be entered it in to the competition yet it is pushing my remix well down the charts.

I'm starting to think these competitions are just a popularity contest and I'm not sure they're worth my time anymore?

Any one else find the same thing?

Finished Tracks / Justin Bieber - Sorry (Harwood Bootleg) [Future Bass]

He may not be the most loved figure in EDM, but this song is undeniably good so I made my own Future Bass spin!

Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Ghost Production: Discuss
« on: January 10, 2016, 05:45:05 pm »
I didn't know which section to put this under, but I felt this came closest as often it can seem like your fighting a losing battle for exposure when bigger artists can just buy a song and make it huge.

Personally I would say overall I don't agree with ghost production, it seems unfair that artists get all the credit having done no work for it.

BUT then sometimes I think people are too quick to jump to conclusions. It seems now almost 90% of collaborations that happen it is just assumed that only one of them did any of the work and then immediately the other artist is written off as a fraud who never writes his own music.

Also people wouldn't ghost produce if it didn't benefit them, at the end of the day they are getting paid and are likely to gain the exposure some point down the road. And others don't want to be in the limelight.

Like I said at the start, fundamentally I disagree with it, but think that at times it can work in the favour of both parties.

Opinions people?

WIPs / Vocalist & Feedback Needed [Future Bass/Heaven Trap]
« on: January 08, 2016, 02:48:33 pm »
https://soundcloud.com/harwood-official/for-you-wip/s-Wm3ab

This is a track I am currently working on. Any general feedback would be appreciated. Also as you will hear currently before the drop there is a vocal shout, which is currently recorded by myself and sounds pretty atrocious, if anybody with a half decent voice would like to feature on the track it would be hugely appreciated!

WIPs / Ethereal Future Bass Ish WIP
« on: January 07, 2016, 08:22:57 pm »
Okay so I don't even know what to call this. I started with a future bass sort of bass, chords, kick & snare arrangement then added a lead over the top. I often use portamento to slide the notes but experimented with turning it up much more than usual and got a very weird ethereal sort of sound, but can't really decide If it sounds good or not?

Opinions would be brilliant and if anybody has any advice for what to do with it that would be even better!

Thanks in advance,

Harwood

Finished Tracks / Beautiful Now (Harwood Remix) - Zedd [Future Bass]
« on: January 07, 2016, 10:53:57 am »

Hi there,

This is my first attempt at future bass, for which I decided to remix Zedd's brilliant song Beautiful Now. I know it is not perfect but I feel like it definitely represents a huge step up for me in my productions, all feedback would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Harwood
