I think you should post this in WIP. It´s not finished.

... What's the difference?

I think that's a good point; we should try to find a way to keep people from making accounts JUST to post their tracks and not contribute, while preventing people from just spamming comments on things without genuine feedback.
And you might think it's bad to criticized finished work, but at the same time how do people grow if all someone's gonna say is "Wow, what a good song!"
I would much rather be told "Your drums are rocking, the chords could do with some work, and you could probably have spent some more time on your lead sound to get it to gel with the rest of your mix. Keep going!"
I suppose I'm just of the opinion that posting your songs for compliments and only compliments is not a way to develop and grow as an artist. If someone says "I don't want any critiques of my work" I'm not gonna just throw shade obviously, but if you go into both the WIPs and Finished Tracks subforums almost every thread has someone asking for opinions or feedback. This is a place for people to learn from each other, and you can't learn from someone who tells you that you're doing everything correctly - otherwise there'd be no reason for you to learn in the first place!
I agree and disagree with you here, as I feel that it is easier to give out an opinion on WIPs. I have tracks that my label has accepted the masters on, and when I get feedback saying to fix this and that... It´s just not constructive IMO. Makes me doubt what I am capable of, as well as making me distrust the critic. The finished section should be more of "what should I do before sending it out"-section, unless people start asking for real opinions themselves.

I bought this a while back as I can´t play for s**t, but I really can´t make it work properly. Anyone out there who´s had more luck with it than me? Any tips for me?

« on: January 10, 2016, 02:33:18 pm »To be honest I thought you already had to comment on two other people's posts with critiques before being able to post any of your work. I'd definitely second the idea of setting a post limit (maybe Subsonics can't post new songs? Maybe even Sub Basses?), and some sort of ranking system so people can be aware of what the producer's skill level and how they should approach their feedback. It's a little frustrating to look for feedback and get "oh wow this sounds amazing great job!!!!!!" as a response, so helping people find peer groups, mentors, and pupils might be beneficial.If the number of posts is to give people privileges, it will only amount to post whoring. People leaving short non sense feedback. There are already some who feel they have to comment on everything, even if they have no value in what they write.
I can only speak for myself, but I feel it´s really horrible to criticize finished work. I mean, this is something that the creators say that they are happy with. Done. That makes it hard to say that " you should do this, and this...".

Not to appear butthurt or anything, but OP was about how to get a good macbook for an affordable price, not a pc vs mac discussion.

Samples/Plugins/Software/Gear / How to get a good mac for less
« on: January 08, 2016, 10:17:53 pm »
Didn´t know where to put this but here goes.
I got my first macbook pro 5 years ago. As everybody knows it´s expensive if you want to get some good specs. When I got into producing 2 years ago, the mac was not so good to use, since it only had 4gb RAM. The max for this model was 8gb, but when Mavericks OS X was introduced, I was suddenly able to put 16gb into it. The cost of the RAM upgrade was only about 100 USD, and while I was at it, I put in a new ssd/combined HDD(WD Black2 dual drive) for an additional 150. So then I had an upgraded machine w/ 120gb ssd + 1TB regular HDD for samples etc. and 16gb of RAM for just 250(+ cost of the mac). You check if it is doable on any mac on http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade.
Hope this made some sense, as I am being very incoherent in my writing lately.

« on: January 08, 2016, 08:00:56 am »
Install it inside FL through file>run command. Install in like to´s in Windows. Make sure that you have the right pugin extra search folder afterwards. Rescan.
You can run exe on mac, in the crossover there´s a wine that makes this possible.

Where´s the text-to-voice in FL? Is it native in the program?
