Long story I'll tyr to keep it short, I been making beats since I was 16 as a hobby...
At around age 21 I had made about 3000+ songs on FL Studio Demo...
I saved my songs by basically saving the piano roll and opening them and re-adding the instruments every time I went back to a song, a tedious process...
At around 19 I got known in my area and eventually was invited to studio sessions where I never got to finish any song as the place was raided and shutdown on class A drug distribution charges (crooked owner) everything was Seized and never returned, I couldn't do anything about it...
Back to the drawing board, I satrted over again, badluck hit me again this time with my manager (he was 18!) imprisoned for murder..
I went back to education and left music...
I decided to quit music completely but only recently I came back to it after having successfully started my own businesses mainly car hire and Property sales and lettings.... with only half the inspiration I had then, it's tough but hopefully I can get back into it, I had some amazing songs in my school and college days I wish I could remake them but I can't get the drums right (I think I suck at drums, most of my new songs mostly have drum samples).
All I have is my PC, PC Keyboard, FL Studio, No special VST in particular, I use SF2 soudnfonts quite a bit for my strings and pianos, sound cheap but get the job done for now, I have no intention of investing further unless ofcourse I can make something of it worth my while, so for now I'll have this standard setup...
Hope that wasn't too long lol:<
Anyways, yes my mixing is simply stock FL Limiter and Sound Goodizer on the Master mixer channel and reverbs on instruments and slight panning, no EQ whatsoever...
