[A question about note duration]

If you select multiple notes by holding control and dragging (they should turn red) click at the end of a note (when you get horizontal arrows) and drag to stretch them out. If the notes are different and you need them to be the same length; select them, press shift + d to lower them all to the same size, then stretch them up to what you want.

Good luck, hope that helps!

Thanks for your answer

I didn't know about the shit+d thing, but that's didn't solve the problem..

I found a possible solution to manually edit more note durations in one time tho

[A question about note duration]

I hope you can help me someway, I have a question about the FruityLoops' piano roll.

You see, when I double-click a note in the piano roll, I can edit its proprieties, and even the Note Duration, but when I try to edit two or more at the same time, I can't edit their duration.

Is there a way to edit them all at once?

try modulatin white noise to make a whistle on an synth

I'm still not good with synths, I didn't know

I'll try that out immediately, thanks!

[Need a sample, synth, or effect? LOOK HERE!]

Another request again x_x

I'm working on a song where the human whistle is the very very important instrument, I tried out some synths, wich are pretty good but they still don't satisfy me at all (The Shepherd & Whistler).

I need a really realistic whistle like the one in the ending of the song 'Danger Line' from Avenged Sevenfold (check at minute 4:45), does anybody knows a synth that can generate this sound?

I think I can't record it myself

[Need a sample, synth, or effect? LOOK HERE!]

those dont sound like guitar samples at all, most guitar samples and synths dont sound to hot

why not collab with someone? or try this http://prominy.com/SC.htm but expencive.

I'm still not very good at this sort of things, I'm trying to learn it on my own.. I don't really wanna be a burden to somone, so I think I won't collab.. but Thanks for the software, I'll see if there's a demo version of it

[Need a sample, synth, or effect? LOOK HERE!]

I'm in need of an electric guitar sample/synth like the one in

from the Black Mages, does somebody know any good guitar synth?

[Final Fantasy VIII - Help Yourself (Find Your Way)]

Thought I gave up?

Nah, It's just that I didn't have much time to work on this track (damn you, school.)

I've made a few changes as Gario suggested me, and I replaced much basic instruments with various synths or sounds I've found on the net.

But there are still some bad ones, like the Bells (I've synthesized that Bell sound with Zebra 2, I don't really like how it turned out, but I have just a little knowledge about synths).

Also, I couldn't find a good Orchestra Harp sample/synth yet, but I'll surely manage to find it one of these days.

I also fixed the wrong notes, wich were kinda bad to hear (Thanks Gario).

And last but not the least, I learnt the basic operations of FL Studio's Mixer and tried to balance the sounds, but I''ve still got alot to work to do with this one.

So, could you please dedicate me 3 minutes and tell me what do you think about it?? (Any kind of reviews, even negative ones would really be helpful!)

Thanks in advance!

the free sf2 that darkesword's got is pretty good IMO.

Thanks, imma check that site out

[Need a sample, synth, or effect? LOOK HERE!]

I need a good Orchestral Harp VST Plugin

Can somebody tell me the names of the good ones? (except for Symphonic Harp)

[Final Fantasy VIII - Help Yourself (Find Your Way)]

Silent Edge, as a lurker on here (and one that hasn't found much to say the entire time I've lurked here) - I have to say, I'm impressed with it being your first piece with FruityLoops Studio!

Just try and follow through with what Gario has mentioned, and I'm sure this will turn into a lovely remix so, do dream.

Also, I love the rain effect and that you chose a harp (regardless of sample and production issues).

I'm looking forward to hearing improvements on this!

Wow,I didn't expect an answer like that ,that surely put a smile on my face

You guys are really encouraging me alot!

Thank you so much

There's alot of work to do with this mix yet,I'll do my best to get it better

[Final Fantasy VIII - Help Yourself (Find Your Way)]

Aww... don't be too hard on yourself - I see no harm in dreaming (that's generally a good place to start, if you want to achieve it someday).

Well, to be honest, there are issues with the arrangement that are... off. Namely, some of the notes are incorrect. Strings at 1:15, for example, and the harp at 1:25. These things come in later, with the same mistakes. Listen to the source and compare again - you'll hear the difference.

The production is unbalanced. There are a lot of melodic elements that are being put to the back of the mix (and texture that's being shot to the front). In particular, that harp is faaar to loud. Use the mixer to lower the overall volume on that track. Look at the other tracks as well and balance the sound so the melodies + themes are more salient than the textures + harmonies.

The samples are pretty basic (I'm guessing FL presets). Look for some plugins and replace the presets asap. There's nothing wrong with getting the right tools early, eh? There are threads here dedicated to that, so look into them.

I like the rain effect. The arrangement was relatively accurate (except, of course, the things I mentioned). I see no reason to bash yourself when this is your first foray into the remixing world. Just take a look at this thread and this thread for a second and realize everyone needs to start somewhere, eh?

Good luck with it

Thank you very much for your exhaustive answer

I didn't realize great part of the mistakes by myself,although I admit that I could've used some better presets,but I didn't know where to find them. I made a few with Zebra 2,thanks to zircon's Zebra video tutorials (Thanks zircon,those videos really helped me alot) .

I'll read the three threads you mentioned me,and thanks again for dedicating me a little of your time

[Final Fantasy VIII - Help Yourself (Find Your Way)]

Please read before listening:

First of all,I wanna set things straight: I am not aiming to make this track become an OCReMix one (I don't even dream of it.) ,that would be an insult to all the artist out there.

I did this totally starting from zero. It's my very first work with FL Studio,and just to let you understand what I mean,before getting to work on this track,I didn't even know what a synth was. (God,that's humiliating ).

I have really small experience with the piano at my back though.

So let's get to the point: I'm not a highly skilled DJ or Remixer (duh!) ,I just made this to test my innate skills.

So I ask you guys,who know a bazillion of things more than me in this field,to please dedicate 5 minutes of your time to write your own opinion about it.

What do you think of my skills,considering that it's the very first time that I deal with this sort of things?

Tell me how bad they are >_>

Please,be cruel.

[Zebra 2 - Where to find some good choir presets?]

I've been looking for some choirs presets for Zebra 2,but I only found the KVR Choirs pack wich I didn't really like.

Can somebody tell me where I can find some choir presets for this synth??

I've also been thinking of an alternative for this kind of sounds,wich synth do your recommend me?

[Zebra 2 - Where to find some good choir presets?]

Just so you know, this sub-forum is specifically dedicated to FL Studio discussion, you may be using Zebra 2 in FL Studio, but it is not in itself related to FLS.

I had the feeling I was posting in the wrong section xD.

My bad

[Zebra 2 - Where to find some good choir presets?]

[A few question to all the DJs out there!]

Hi Silent Edge, Welcome to OCR! It is indeed awesome here.

I am not an Official OCRemixer (yet) but I'll answer your questions!

1) I have been dabbling in remixing very very part timeish for the last 4 years.

2) I own and operate a small moblie DJ company. I am the only employee, and so I have improved my DJ skills for work, or rather, THROUGH work. There is a difference between a DJ and a ReMixer though, most of the contributers here would probably be composers or arrangers, as those skills are more important in actually creating music than DJing is, but there certainly some people here who DJ too.

3) Music theory is a huge asset for remixing and composition. It is not as critical for a DJ to have those skills. Mastering the art of remixing also requires discipline, intuition, and an ear for music sure helps too, and finally, a ton of practice will go a long way in making perfect!

Peace!

Finally an answer..!

Thanks man,now I have no doubts anymore

[A few question to all the DJs out there!]

Yo everyone! I've been following this website for months,and I gotta say that I find it absolutely awesome +_+,you're all great at remixing & arranging video games musics

So I came up with some questions to feed my curiosity for all the OC Remixers out there:

1)When did you start remixing??

2)Did u improve your DJ skills for work,or for your own benefit??

3)Is the music theory really that important to master DJ & Remixing skills??

P.S. :I'm really sorry for my bad english,it's got kinda rusty lately =/
