I went a little crazy. Pretty high energy stuff. It's the "Final Mega Fight" one. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=214044 voting would be nice, comments would be fun etcetc enjoy.

i just played along with it, and it's definitely the same samples Maybe the Reason version has more samples though...

Analoq: First time I listened to the piece, it didn't do that much for me. I needed some more time to appreciate the way you rearranged the melody. At first I didn't even recognise it. My head probably still was too occupied with my retard rave tune to see how adeptly you weaved the theme into that style, lol. Drums are lazy, although it probably serves the song. I'd like to hear some subtle flanging or so on them to give them a little more space without taking over too much. Snooper: Not bad at all, many good sound elements. That's NS_Piano, right? I love that font. The intro with the stuttering guy and rythmic synths i found quite cool. Overall I wasn't able to really get into the tune though. One reason probably was the strings played over the beat sections, found them boring. ANyway, I'm looking forward to remix some analoq! I liked the results when I tried last time, and the whole ORC was awesome back then! Reviiiiiive teh spirit!!!

Hey evryone. New TOMC i see. I might join some of these. I'll try to vote too.

I submitted something. It's, uh, Rave. Among other things.

cool. It's incomplete though. I remember it ending with that "I've come to put an end to it" sample. oh yeah, talking about the new project: if you think my file is a bad start, feel free to put up your own. Same limitations of course.

I *think* I backed it up on an old hard drive with other .flps... Maybe Skrypnik or Prophecy still have it? I think my 2nd part wasn't really finished, too. If I find it, I'll render it for you.

you'd probably mainly use the default "packs" (sample directory in the browser) and 3xosc. There are other basic plugs like the granulizer and the beepmap, but those two ingredients are really enough if you know basic synthesis and can work with effects creatively. I know that FL Defaults are looked down upon, but try comparing it to making a chiptune or making a Midi that actually sounds good with the standard Microsoft GM Synth. It's the challenge of getting something cool sounding out of not so cool basic elements.

heh...maybe the FLMCs already saturated the need for sharing .flps online? some feedback on the whole idea would be nice, no matter if you want or don't want to participate.

Hi. We've done this kind of thing about a year ago i think, but with original content. Basically, you can grab my .flp and do to it whatever you like. You're encouraged to remix VG songs, of course Continue with my remix, alternate the style, source tune, instruments, whatever. I'd like to see a real monster medley personally, but do what you want to. Rules: Much like in FLMC, only the most basic instruments/samplesets of FL 6 are allowed. Also, try working with what's already there to minimise cpu cost. When you want to add something, claim the file in this thread so that others wait till it's their turn. Ok, have fun, don't be shy! Hope this works. Thought I'd start with something classic. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ACBYRPGW

hi chris ah, distortion jam. kind of inspiring. i'm at 4:30, liking the melodies. reminds me of jamming on my casio mini keyboard + guitar amp.

two free trumpet VSTs: sample based: http://dskmusic.com/vsti/brass.php algo based: http://www2.kvr-vst.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=120062&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&sid=c01c8c5ddd57f2a240667df71da231ee

I'd go to a flea market and look for Casio mini keyboards of all kinds. I have a Casio SA-10, it has a 4 sample rock drum set and some other harsh sounds. Sounds like crap though, and I don't know if Casio has felt the need to increase the sample rate and stuff for their newer toys

more free glitch stuff, of the more chaotic kind... http://www.jackdark.net/darkware.html

Maybe that attitude is part of your trouble. I've often found that when I tinker around with something long enough, I'll eventually start to like what I hear most of the time. To me, the expectation of getting something good sounding within short time often is a problem. I sometimes remind myself of the time I tweaked some knobs and placed some notes into a piano roll for the first time. A typical beginner's state of mind is the best thing in some ways: You just fiddle around open-mindedly and don't get worried about reaching a certain quality standard too much. Of course, I don't know you and might be way off. But you're pretty popular around here, which might add to the pressure of making your music live up to your previous releases. And I'm not saying that applying a "quality filter" is bad, it's just unhealthy when your critical attitude keeps you from doing anything.

I disagree. I find this somewhat contradictory. (of course, having 500 synths doesn't mean you can't limit yourself to a single one, but still...)

I don't think it's a bad thing either, it's just that each of the synths in that woman's monster studio is already a very versatile beast by itself. Can't really compare it to your first set of GM sounds . There's a point where you have at least theoretical access to almost any sound you'd ever want, and you don't need every synthesizer/sampler/fx there is to reach that point. Apart from that, it's probably a quirk of mine that unless I don't learn to use something well, I shouldn't own it. I remember downloading all possible and impossible kinds of free softsynths one night, always thinking 'w0oah, these'll unveil new muzikal horizons to me!' Well, I tried them out a little, played around with some presets, and very soon got this feeling of being totally overfed. Some of them were really great, but the sheer amount of them was tiring. It might've been more fun for me to just download one really cool looking synth and fiddle around with that one for the rest of the night. It's like with friends, hard to have a lot of them and have only deep relationships at the same time. With this corny analogy I rest my case

Definitely. Actually, I got some good insight from one book I was reading and it basically said before you start a project you MUST limit your choices in terms of sounds, synths, whatever. You must have a small gathering of resources so that you can spend more time using the tools that you have decided to use than to continuously waste time looking around for stuff among your entire studio. Heh, well, people are different. I'm sure there are people who get inspiration out of fiddling around with loads of hardware synths at the same time, I was just saying I'm quite the opposite. Sure, it might be less effective, but I won't tell a gear junkie to limit his resources when he's having fun

Man, I'd feel so helpless amidst all those machines. I always liked the idea of getting the most out of a small set of tools, and sometimes I'm thinking that I don't even use my only hardware synth to its full potential.

I wanted to post about this earlier on but apparenty forgot: http://www.kvraudio.com/get/1398.html http://www.kvraudio.com/get/1397.html http://www.kvraudio.com/get/882.html these 3 are free mono synths triggered by audio input. Just assign them to your line in channel and get going. It's great fun to sing through it, easier than playing guitar in a way because you don't have to worry about accidently playing a second string and getting gibberish due to mono only. Btw, the same developer also has a guitar multi fx vst: http://www.kvraudio.com/get/1786.html obviously can't touch guitar rig, but it's incredible for a freebie. edit: Here are two more free ones that just do the audio->midi thing, haven't tried them though. http://www.kvraudio.com/get/750.html http://www.kvraudio.com/get/1538.html

fixed Typing "www.google.com" into your browser in Germany actually takes you directly to Google.de

I have the same problem with the external audio interface of my X-Station. Whenever I want to hear the good ole microsoft gm synth, I have to switch to my on-board crap soundcard.

Hehe, this is pretty fun. Does the "Shna" stand for Shnabubula? Somewhat sounds like him. I'd like to see the playlist of the song.

Absolutely right, but humans are lazy. Although most sequencers have pretty much the same functions included and could theoretically produce the exact same compositions, they still have their own character. There's always an interaction between the tool and the person using it, and even the most aware composer would probably do things slightly differently if he switched sequencers. FL simply somewhat encourages loopism, it doesn't force you do to anything. Uh. yeah, I'm sure it's possible to work your way around it. There'd just be way too much thinking involved if you wanted to do something extreme like 4/4->7/8->5/4->3/4. I could imagine signature changes to be the easiest thing in fruity.
