    Guitar settings in FL Studio?

    Ok. Also, thank you, this will help a lot. I didn't know the Undertale maker used FL Studio.

    I messed around with the stuff you said to mess with, and I've got the FL Keys piano to sound like a metal guitar. Also, I've made a remix of the Pokémon gym battle theme. It isn't as good as some of the epic stuff I've heard on this site, but should I post it anyway? Can I improve from that?

     This song contains an awesome almost-8-bit synth lead(I think it switches between genuine 8-bit and an epic synth that sounds like it but fuller and better), an awesome electric guitar, an awesome orchestra hit-ish sound, some kind of bass violin this around 122, and a proper 8-bit lead thing that starts around 0:31. What are these instruments, what are their VSTs, and how do I get my FL Studio to sound like those?

    Hey,

    You should avoid asking endless strings of really vague questions. It's great to want to learn, but you need to be considerate of the effort other people are putting in to help you.

    If you want to know about how certain sounds are designed, you need to provide timestamps and links for the music in question. Avoid incredibly vague descriptions like "by high parts, all the instruments that aren't the bass drop part" or "a bubble forms around the sound and it shrinks, the sounds fading out quickly". Realize that sound perception is different to each person, and so even if what you're saying makes sense to you, it probably won't to other people.

    This forum is a place to get help, but you need to be willing to put your own effort in. You should put some thought into your questions before posting them. Also, please try taking the time to write in complete sentences. It will actually help us out a lot in understanding what your questions are.

    I'm sorry.

    Yes, that was what I meant. Sorry about the sound perception.

    I'm... not really sure how to put it, but... there's a singer. (Except it is actually not a singer, it's Vocaloid, but it doesn't matter) And while that singer is singing, instruments are playing. In my mind, I see some kind of keyboard player hitting notes on his keyboard to make those sounds, sorta like a guitarist would use chords to make his sounds. (Even though it might be a launchpad instead. Sorry) I know how the bass drop part is made, but not the rest of the song. I'm asking how to do that, and produce a song with instruments similar to this one.

    I'm sorry if I sound stupid or mean. I'm not really a music expert, but I'd like to learn. I watched those tutorial vids, and you have all been amazing and helpful so far. I love each and every one of you. This site should have a dogecoin thing where we can pay people who make good posts or songs with coins too worthless to mean much on their own, because it's the thought that counts. And I will post my music here when it is finished, so all of you can see how amazing you will help me to be.

    Well, I got that by layering three octaves. A mid percussive sine wave (for the "body"), a mid-high glockenspiel and vibraphone (same octave), and a high percussive sine wave (for the "sparkle"). It's simple to make the sine wave layers, while the glockenspiel is Ethan Winer's free soundfont, and the vibraphone is from Fluid R3 GM, another free soundfont.

    I played the vibraphone, then the mid sine, then the high sine, then the glockenspiel. Then, I played all of them together without any (external) effects, then with NastyDLA MKII (which I already told you about), then with NastyDLA MKII and only Fruity Reeverb (1), then with NastyDLA MKII and only ArtsAcoustic Reverb.

    Keep in mind that there was no external EQ whatsoever, though you should still EQ this.

    Thank you for the awesome bell sound, but I meant the more echoey one that starts at 0:28 and also ends the song with the faded-out sound.

    you people are helpful and nice.

    Also, YES I was right about the guitar song reverse thing. But from that same song... what was that sorta-pianoish "dowowo, dowowo, dowowowooo... (three notes getting higher) (higher note, then a lower note and lower note than that" thing that plays after the guitar plays a few bars? It sounds really beautiful and happy and peaceful and ethereal, if there was a magic harp made from dew leaves dropping water on a lake of faries and unicorns and stuff, it would sound like that. How do I get that sound in FL Studio?

    At 0:15? No, it's some sort of short sampled EDM "cheer" sound.

    You can't. Not in a way that sounds "great" anyways, and not in a way that can be fully described in a short, concrete manner.

    The short answer is that you'd need good sample quality, and the time and dedication to practice and get your sequencing skills up to par with the sample quality.

    You'd need an actual, dedicated orchestral sample library, on the order of a few hundred to a few thousand USD, such as East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra ($195~995), Vienna Symphonic Library (plain expensive), Spitfire Albion (~$500), and so on, and a lot of practice writing actual music. Depending on how good you are at figuring out what you need to improve on as you work with these instruments, it may take a few months to a few years. It's not easy, and it's not overnight.

    I think i just added him as a friendhttps://m.soundcloud.com/aivisura/steven-universe-sugelite I mean the sound that starts playing once per beat from around 30 seconds in on this track, you can also hear that barking dog sound in the "Sugilite returns" track, if I posted that. I'm not sure I did.

    Anyway... that is a lot of money i don't have. Is there something online that I can do to get that kind of money?

    I know this is subjective, but personally I think that lead guitar sounds terrible. If it has that "woo" sound as I call it, I wouldn't aspire to sound like it. This likely is due to choice of pickups, EQ and lack of, good, wide, speed-modulating vibrato that suits the tempo. The lack of the latter why most sample libraries are garbage for lead guitars.

    Here are some lead guitars I think sound great.

    The key to getting good lead "tone" comes in getting a "warm" sound from an amp sim based on a valve amp, often with only as much gain as is require to get a pinch harmonic. Also, it's a good idea to pinch sustained vibrato notes. Try a set-up based on an old peavy, mesa, marshall or soldano with a tube screamer in front of it and not a "distortion pedal" of the metal zone variety. Also make sure you have plenty of mids and use a good stereo delay to give it all a sense of space. After that, the most important part is to play with bends, harmonic and noticeable vibrato. The occasional palm-mutes on faster runs on the low strings is also a good technique. 

    Also, use the bridge pick-up unless you want a "bluesy" sound on the high notes - then use the neck pick up. Most sample libraries don't let you switch pick ups though as far as I know.

     

     

    Dude, you were right, your guitar links do sound better. I liked your post.
