SpecialAgentBoB Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Fully orchestrated music within FL Studio? Because Ive been wondering about it for some time after I was asked to compose a mod whos music needed to be grand and epic in scope.

Zephyr Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Of Course! You can do any style you want to, the only thing you may find a bit difficult is doing tons of meter changes, but if you're not doing too much of that it really shouldn't be a problem.

big giant circles Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Indeed. However, I'd say not with FL's default plugins. The closest you could come with any of Image-Line's software would be with DirectWave, but that wouldn't really sound that good either. If you take some time to search for it, I believe Nutritious did an FL orchestral template with some reasonably decent free soundfonts and what not. If you're going for full-on pro-quality though, it'd probably be best to invest in something like QLSO Gold, Motu Symphonic, or at the very least IK Philharmonik. FL is a great sequencer, but you also need some good sounds, and unfortunately, FL doesn't really offer any of those when it comes to orchestral stuff.

Yeah, I figured FL studio alone wouldn't carry anything decent enough, so I guess Im going to save some money to buy some good software, maybe a few products of East/West. Thanks guys.

Zephyr Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Good plan, I've been doing some orchestral work lately in FL with Philharmonik (I got it as a freebie) I wouldn't recommend it for an orchestral library, but it's shown me that orchestral work is definitely possible.
