Hello
As I said in the topic this will be the last song in Fruityloops, I am finding myself to making the same sound and music all the time so I need to start using a new program. maybe Buzz.
I have a bunch of songs now and will make a 3rd and last album with those songs, I appreciate some feedback on this song too. Suck or good or a little good or very much bad.

(LATER ON)
i heard it and got some comments.......well it sounds like you're working on an odd number of the bar length...(odd as in weird) cuz usually you wanna work on either 16 bars, 32 or 64...if that makes sense
anyway...your acoustics seemed a little simple...then again its electronica so no surprise...i still think you couldve changed it up a little .....using more sounds wouldve been better...i liked the panning you did with that main sharp sound....maybe thats why your stuff is sounding repetative...because youre not adding enough variation...make more sounds...more patterns..change it up...i use it but i make hip hop beats...i like electronica and techno but i havent tried...what version of FL do you have?
heres one of my recent ones----

I have the 3.11 version with some borrowed sounds so it�s a bit old.
I usually work at 32 or 64 rows but I have a very complex beat in my songs and I guess it�s sounds very confusing..hehe.
I have used this program for 2 years now and used fasttracker and stuff before that, but I haven�t found any inspiration lately with the program so the last song here was more an experiment and I wanted to hear what people thoght of it.
I have 2 albums so far and I will make a 3rd last one and I am thinking of too post the last one here later, maybe in 2-3 weeks, I made the cover picture yesterday so now I will have to mix the songs together and put them down in mp3 format.
Thank you for the comments, thank you.

I liked your song and you had those Cool hip-hop elements, I didn�t know you were using Fruityloops either, cool.

See you
Matthew

Hey Matthew and insider! My Fruity brothers
Don't despair.. No other program or thousands of dollars will make you a better musician. For example.. you can give a great artist pen and paper, and give some noob most expensive brushes and paints that money can buy, and see the outcome. However (especially in music) good tools and sounds can inspire you to create good sh*t (and im not talking about premade loops :0 )
The biggest mistake that most FL users do is use default FL samples, instruments, and effects. But they are horrible! HEHEHE
Anyways, i've played with FL ~1.5 years making little experimental crap (and i learned a whole lot about FL) but right now i'm diving into HipHop and RnB production headfirst. It's actually damn HARD to sound ghetto and trashy.. hehe
Anyways, with FL i noticed how in the beginning i was making stuff that i CAN do, but not what i WANT to do. Basically i still do that, but in the course of learning i go from 100% of what i can and into 100% into what i want my stuff to sound like.

And yeah.. FL is the only tool for me, and if you dont think it's not capable of being a pro-tool, then check out the startup song in your own FL for techno flavor, and check http://www.littlebrothermusic.com/ for urban flavor (insider especially) there are a few other people who use FL, and it's growing. Especially since FL Studio came out, making it all bigger and better, and it WILL become as recognizable as Cubase & Logic i tell ya!
www.flstudio.com but i'm sure you've heard of it already.

Farewell, my n*ggaz.

Hey Shizo.

Yeah I remember you said and showed me FL Fruityloops, shouldn�t maybe jump to any quick conclusion to quit the program but I want some other sound and perhaps it�s not the program that makes the musician as you said.
I shall see what kind of program I can find and I will still post some music here when I have made any, but probably with some other program.

I still have the last fruity album to finish so those song will be seen here in the Random Musings.

Thanks for your reply and thoughts Shizo.

Yeha well.. it's a good idea to find a tool that suits you best. So i'm not really saying "TRAITOR!!! FL FOREVA", but implying that in the back of my head.. haha.

So here is the post i made on futureproducers forums:

[Matthew]

hehe Shizo

Maan you know your stuff, thank you for the tips and stuff.
I gotta say that the program is getting better and better anyway. When I have used the Fruity I have had the 3.1.1 version which I think was released 2001 or something. I tried out one of the newer Demo versions I think it was 3.5.6 and it was very impressive so I can only imagine what the 4th version will look like.
hmm, I am thinking of to purchase a keyboard and I hope maybe that Cubase will go along with that or some other program but first of all I have to pay for my digital camera, so sometime in the future.....
