    Gobble Snarf Snap (Phantom Train FF6)

    Truth in advertising - I studied Caravan Palace and Django tunes for a week straight to prep my brain for arranging this piece. I have to submit this to the competition in two days, but assuming it doesn't win and get picked up for the CD I'd love to collab. Or, conversely, if you need a clarinet player to lay something down, you know who to call.

    Hey Guys,

    I only have a few days to get this ready for the competition, so I need some help. There are some obvious problems (a couple of timing issues, the guitar at 2:12) but I'm looking for an overall critique of this. Does it sound empty or repetitive, can I add pads to make it fill out more, are there any other suggestions...

    I wanted to take this into Django territory, for those of you who are jazz fans. I dunno if it worked or what. Guitar and clarinet are live, all else are soundfonts or samples.

    Thanks!

    FL Studio (in song mode)

    Hit Record. Play.

    Cubase

    Hit Record. Play.

    Edifying, thanks.

    Anyway, I think I got this figured out. I'm not used to having to switch "patterns" every time I want to lay down a new track that doesn't conform to the format of any previous track. I feel like I'm making this more complicated than I need to, but I'll do what I've always done and muddle along for now.

    How do you record NOT INTO A PATTERN into FL studio? I have a beat down and I'm trying to use Sytrus to have a moving guitar melody. But it only lets me record for as long as the pattern is, then it repeats itself and layers over itself.

    Man, FL studio's interface is really nice but Cubase is way easier to work with when it comes to straight up recording...

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm looking for anyone that might have already separated the wheat from the chaff on Youtube tutorials for FL studio. I'm looking through a bunch now but it seems like any moron with a screen capture program and a microphone is trying to teach neophytes like myself how to use the program.

    Dude this is really cool! I have near zero experience with anything other than live instrument recording, so I can't really offer much here.

    I LOVE the "I AM ERROR" dropout part there at 0:51

    I do have to say that between 1:15 and 2:00 I started to feel a little bit of ear fatigue because I heard a lot of repetition, but I don't have the musical patience for dubstep like a lot of people do, so that could just be a matter of taste.

    Solid beat, though. I like.

    So I'm working on my second remix. I wanted to take the idea of Kekfa's theme and work it out as a bluesy bassline, and then found out that there were other boss themes that fit really nicely into the groove. So it's a bit of an amalgamation.

    I'm not sure if I like the ending, and I know there are ways I can improve this, but I've been staring at it for the last couple of days without really making any changes. I feel a bit stuck.

    Not The Taxi You Whistled For

    Thanks Flex! That goddamn accordion is giving me so much trouble. If I didn't like the way it sounded so much, I'd take it out. The soundfont that I used has a nice quality sound but it's realistic enough that you get the pre-noise hiss from an accordion, which effs up my timing. Good catch, I think I can just slide the bar there and be done with it. If not, it's coming out!

    And agreed on the ending. I think I can clean that up.

    Thanks again for the praise and the feedback. I'm glad my whistling skills have gotten some use other than annoying anyone in my house or workplace.
