Composition/Arrangement/Theory / Re: Creativity and Composition (TIPS)
« on: January 07, 2016, 12:59:29 pm »
I think a really important part of creativity with music is to start with the inspiration you have for a song, and then run with it from there.  Build up as many elements as you can, quickly.  The more you can lay down right away, the more the raw ideas and emotion that the song will hold, get preserved.

Check these videos out

I was also going to suggest those videos.  If you're also using FL Studio those are a gold mine.  Great tips no matter what, though.

I believe mainroom house has the bad reputation it does because its basically the result of genre inbreeding.

That wording was phenomenal.

My quick advice is to just listen to songs that you like, and songs that you may me trying to emulate.  People telling you to drag songs that you like into your DAW to study the arrangement is really a good idea!! You might see a song in a whole new light if you can see how it was structured from the perspective of having it in a program!

Sound Design / Re: Bass like Vicetone, or Dubvision?
« on: January 06, 2016, 10:32:43 pm »
I think that characteristic bass sound you're talking about is a picked electric bass processed quite heavily with a distortion unit. A sample library from Native Instruments played with Kontakt combined with Guitar Rig for example. You can hear a lot of these sounds on Alesso's older productions.

I think a great starting point for you is to watch this video of Dubvision going through Turn It Around. Make sure to enable subtitles on Youtube. :)
I agree with this. its definitely a bass guitar and not a 'simple' waveform like a square or saw.

Interesting to hear that this sound is a bass guitar... that's new to me

I recently found a sample of a long saw bass note in the Leviathan sample pack and by cutting it up I got that cool older electro sound.  I'll try to find it for you later.  But, I think that working with audio, as opposed to MIDI, in this situation works well Maybe with some LPF automation. 

Try opening up a synth that you like and beefing up a low pitched saw wave and bounce it to audio, then manipulate it from there

Thank you everybody!

I certainly could do with FL crashing a bit less....

Samples/Plugins/Software/Gear / 32bit vs. 64bit
« on: January 06, 2016, 05:35:34 pm »
Wasn't sure where to post this, but I figured "gear" was the most technically inclined sub forum.

So this is a common question I think, but I don't really know the answer to it yet.  32 vs. 64 bit. What is the difference? What are the benefits? Why are people to excited to have their favorite VSTs come in 64bit versions?

It can be incredibly fiddly to get it to work right sometimes, but jBridge is what you want for this... it will let you wrap 64 bit VSTs in 32 bit wrappers and vice versa.


Good stuff.

Thank you, I'll check this out!!

I was so excited about that one because Emotional was one of my absolute favorite songs from Flux's album
