    prominy lpc question

    in Music Composition & Production

    Posted

    While I do have to say that it's hilariously ironic that someone who calls himself The Guitar Hero has to rely on sampled guitars, I have to agree with Sixto. If you definitely, above all else, need something that sounds as close to the real deal as possible, then yes, $400 and 60 Gigs is a better bargain than a real guitar and the amount of time you need to spend learning to play it (Not to mention the recording equipment you'd have to buy).

    yeah, it is ironic isnt it lol! but its true. Ive been playing the guitar before I even got into mixing. I do plan on changing my name when I get a mix out, since it was just came up with it on the spot. I have been playing for probably 5 years now and I still have no talent for it. sad, I know. scales? yeah I learned them. lessons? yeah I took them.

    I enjoy composing much more than trying to trick myself that I have talent in something that I dont.

    I did buy only the clean version so its about 30 gigs gone.

    maybe once guitar center sells talent, I'll go pick some up :)

    prominy lpc question

    Posted

    well I finnaly have enough money saved up off to the side to get prominy lpc. but now I figured out, I have to get more software to get that software to work! oh god where does it end! so my question is, should I get it for kontakt2/3, or should I get it for gigastudio3? remember that Im really used to fl studio. so I would prefer to have it somehow connect into flstudio if there is a way. gigastudio3 sounds way more promising. but kontakt is made by native instruments. and I know that most of their software works in fl studio.

    guitar synth recommendations

    in Music Composition & Production

    Posted

    I know I pretty much asked the same question a few months back but this time I'm gonna go into more detail, because right now I am very serious about buying one. I need a guitar synth software that is very realistic sounding. especially with sweeps and finger tapping. It also has to work in fl studio 7. I want something very manual. something that I can adjust the amount of palm muting, strength of the picking, speed and timing of a vibrato ect... this is not essential, but I would also like it to synthesize bass guitars

    ministry of rock sounds very promising but I dint know if I'm spending extra for the drum samples and distortion, which I wont use anyways.

    I would like to spend something around $300 - $400. but if it makes a significant difference, I'll spend up to $500.

    I would like the recommendations to come from people who have experience with guitar synths. or even better, both guitar synths and real guitars.

    thanks in advance,

    Greg

    nice to hear an update on this mix.Hey your transition from piano to rock during the intro still sounds off.You could redo the same piano solo a second time but in rock format(get a good drum lead to kick things off and let the guitar keep things rollin). This could make sense of the intro wrather than sound as though it was just takked onto your mix.

    If you want a 4 min mix, and considderring this a rock mix, you might considder adding some wild guitar and or piano leads imbetween the break at 1:30 of your mix.I think that would be a perfect point to have a bit of fun with your guitar and/or piano skills before leading back into the ska sank theme,because at this point it sounds as though you took a short quick break from the original theme and got back to it as soon as you could.

    Consider slowing the melody of the ska sank theme afterwards or at some points in the mix(suchas the section where you playout the entire original melody) to add more depth to the mix, then pick things back up with the original melody and/or some original material. Considdering that i'm not too skilled at the whole mixing thing,this is more or less just some feed back in support of your mix.Whatever you decide,I'm looking forward to hearing the completion of this.

    those are some really helpful ideas that I will have to try! thanks man!

    its hard trying to figure this all out on my own since I am still relatively new to all this. if you, or anyone else has any more insight on this mix I would be glad to hear it! feel free to send me a message or submit a reply...

    I am so glad to say that I finnaly have an update! damn its been a while since I actually had an update that was worth posting! its still not complete though. I want it to be at least 3 1/2 min. its hard for me to complete this because I have never got into a song/remix this complicated before. Im pretty sure that this is sounds as good as it gets with synths. I had an entire new setup on my PC and it can handle way more cpu and twice the amount of ram. that let me run it though more eqaulizers, and an addition of a backing lead guitar! well here it is!

    Enjoy!

    I wasnt able to remix or make any music at all for over a month. my old computers motherboard faild and I was stuck without a computer. what hell that was! well I got an entire new setup and Im back on my feet! and Im a little happy that happend because my new setup handles fl studio way better than the old one! no more crackling from an overloaded cpu!

    I also finnaly have some good monitoring headphones. they're the audio-technicas ATH-M50's and I love them! now I have to save up for a midi keyboard, monitors, and dual 24" widescreen displays.

    also Im working on sky sanctuary rock agian and its sounding great! I'll post an update on it soon!

    Building studio monitors

    in Music Composition & Production

    Posted

    Just sticking good components in a box does not make good monitors. They have to be tuned by professionals, in special rooms using special tools, all of which I severely doubt you have access to. I can guarantee that you will NOT get any kind of accuracy with home made monitors.

    all I needed to know...

    thanks!

    Building studio monitors

    I plan on building my own pair of monitors. my brother has a really good book on everything you need to know about building your own speakers. but the book is made for home theater use... it teaches you about the proper acoustics and even how to make crossovers. is there anything I should keep in mind when building my own monitors? or is the project is even worth it?

    Monitoring - what are you using?

    in Music Composition & Production

    Posted

    I mixed all my songs for Project Chaos on 7506's. Good headphones.

    I use bose TriPort headphones. do any of you guys have any opinions on those? I always used crap headphones so when I got those they sounded amazing! very clean sounding with just the right amount of bass. but the main reason I got them was because they dont touch your ear. they rest around them so you can wear them all day without them bugging you. after a while I actually forget they're there!

    MIDI keboard that gets the job done

    in Music Composition & Production

    Posted

    Im looking for a midi keyboard that just gets the job done. something that will just hook up to flstudio and has sensitivity on the keys. I dont care to get any great synthesizers. just something that can help coordinate the music. is there anything I should be looking for in particular? or should I just pick up any keyboard from a music store? I would also rather have something that just simply has keys and no cheep built in speakers that just waste space and make it bulky...

    frequency problem

    in Music Composition & Production

    Posted

    Im an Fl studio user and no matter how hard I try I cant get high frequencies in my song. when I finnish my song and load it into winamp I never see the higher frequency bars move. I even try to use the parometric equalizer and strengthen the higher frequencies but it doesnt work. why does this happen?

    even though I really want to get this mix finnished Im really going to have to take a break from it. I just keep trying to continue it, but nothing is sounding right. some of it sounds cool but it just doesnt go with the track. Im not feeling that insperational spark that I did when I started the track. Im sure if I take a break from it for a while everything will fall together... it usually does in situations like this...
