MusicGamer001 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Hello, I have had FL Studio for a while now but I have never been able to make the kind of sounds I have always tried to make. I like to make all kind of things but at this moment mainly game style music. My problem is that I don't have the sounds I need to make for the songs I have in my head, I don't have any additional VSts or anything other than the things provided in FL, what do you guys use to get sounds that sound like real insturments (piano, flutes, harps, strings, bells, etc...) I posted a few URL from here on OCRemix of the kinda sounds I am looking for: http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00444/ http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01489/ Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big giant circles Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 are we talking about free sounds here, or bought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I think you're looking in the wrong places, most good "real" sounds are actually real, recorded sounds (called samples) they're often organized and played using a sampler. Soundfonts are collections of these sounds and are a good alternative to buying a library. Soundfonts are everywhere, but here's a good place to get started:http://soundfonts.homemusician.net/ You'll need a soundfont player too, I recommend soundfonter. (http://www.sanusart.com/SoundFonter_VSTi.zip) Also see Darkesword's soundfont page, maybe someone else has the url. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sole Signal Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I've got some good orchestral soundfonts on my page: http://www.audixmusic.com/documents/freesamples.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01489/I can tell you right now, without a doubt, that all the instruments you hear in that are free soundfonts from various sites (well, save for one small, small thing buried in the mix towards the end).I still have most of the ones Ryan used for that remix, actually. I can upload them (along with a few others I've acquired over the last few years) if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMR that would be awesome if you could upload those for me EDIT: Oh also Nutritious I downloaded the squidfont and your sf's and noticed that the squidfont sf had a copyright about not for commercial use, does that mean that any compositions made using that soundfont can't be profited from?

Good question, I don't remember seeing anything about that related to squidfont. There was a recent discussion on it, though, here. Where exactly did you find the copyright info anyway?
