zylance Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Being 15 doesn't mean anything other then low income (I'm 15). Either make due with what you have, or save up the dough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nineko Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Call it a coincidence, but I made my first remixes in 1999 when I was 15. Nothing is impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverCoat Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 I started when I was 14. THAT MEANS I'M BETTER THAN YOU Also, I wouldn't get the Express version of FL if I were you. It doesn't do nearly as many things as you'd like, in fact it omits very enjoyable and usually necessary functions of the program [like the piano roll]. One thing you have to understand is that professional music software is expensive. Many would argue FL isn't really "professional software" but whatever. Professionals use it, so it's professional, see? Anyway, professional anything means you pay more for a quality product, because normally people HAVE that money. Even taking that into account, FL Studio is cheap for what it does. Maybe you can really really suck up to your parents or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaVeRnErO_RuDd Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 *shivers* thuis"money" for the quality stuff costs 2.5 more here in brazil...now those lovely 60 dollar things become somethiung around 150 reais ( including taxes and /e) and thats just sick... my mother would keelhaul me if asked for 150 bucks to START remixing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 yes being 15 in brazil means you are broke i'm trying to save it all upo but man...and zircon yes i play on gorefiend...how did ya kno? I'm in your guild, that's how I know I'm Arendor, 60 Priest. oh why oh why does this evil contration called fruity loops doesn't let me save my lovely lil remixlingspawn thing...i worked hard on it (kind of) not fair what they do to you...i wish the demo was more limited but you could save =( Yeah, I know, it's kind of annoying. But here's what you can try. Let's say you wrote 15 seconds of a song and it sounds really good. What you can do is export the song as a WAV, and then, using a free program like Audacity, you can put the WAV in there and save it. You can also do this on a per-pattern basis. So you can make a drum loop, export that alone as a WAV, a string part, a guitar part, all of those can be exported (rendered) separately and then you can put 'em into an audio editor. Just hop on SL vent sometime when I'm on man, I'll tell you more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 I've been thinking about starting to remix and I'm 16... however my comp is VERY slow and has a very embarrassing amount of RAM... so my comp isn't fit for remixing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavous Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 What you CAN do is save every track as a fruity loops score file (from piano roll) and just open them back up again later. I used to do that, the only downfall is that you can't save the effect, pitch bends, tempo changes, etc. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nineko Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 I started when I was 14.Actually I started when I was 14 too, since I started in january 1999, when I wasn't 15 yet (my birthday is on april). But I liked the coincidence so I left it as is.Also, even before of that date I already tried to do some shit in my Fast Tracker 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Here, check a couple of these things out. http://my.mackie.com/profile/rgp_trk_nfra.asp?t=tnfra This is a link to register + download (legally) "Tracktion" which is sort of similar to Fruityloops. You can use different plugins or samples in this program, which will give you a wider variety of sounds to choose from. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows This one is "Audacity" as I mentioned earlier. You can use this to edit audio, add effects, layer different MP3s or WAV files, lots of good stuff. It's totally free also. http://www.noteworthysoftware.com/composer/download.htm This is called "Noteworthy Composer". If you are used to looking at traditional sheet music, this program lets you write music in that format. It can produce MIDIs, which you can then load into something like Fruityloops or Tracktion if you want to upgrade the sound quality. http://www.finalemusic.com/store/login.asp?target=notepad&npv=06&npp=win Finally, this is another traditional notation program, like Noteworthy Composer. Try it if you don't like NWC's interface etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDRage Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 It's nice to see a fellow southamerican posting in OCRemix, thought I was alone down here... I have to agree with you on the price thing. Most of the times, software is extremely expensive in South american economical terms, especially sound desgn software like Reason & FLStudio. I always like to compare prices in terms of McDonald's combos, the universal currency, and if you do some simple maths you'll realise the huge amount of money these appz cost. As to free software, I'd recommend Noteworthy composer, nice cheap thingy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rellik Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Don't worry, there ARE free sequencers/plugin hosts! Buzz and Psycle are two popular tracker-style hosts. There are a number of other trackers that can load in audio plugins as well (I think ModPlug, at least, and check out BeroTracker, if I remember correctly). Not sure if the free Tracktion NFR offer ended, but if it didn't, that's supposedly a great app (especially for audio). I would recommend energyXT as inexpensive, full-featured, innovative, and astoundingly great, but if FLS Express is too expensive then energyXT is only a little less Also, don't worry about being 15 - both of my mixes currently on the site were posted when I was 15, and I'm not exactly an anomaly (see blake perdue and darkcecil13 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to add something useful to the thread, I shall point out a $50 sequencer that people seem to like a lot: Energy XT. http://www.xt-hq.com/ It doesn't come with any instruments or effects, but if you go through kvraudio.com, you could get a bunch of pretty decent free vst's for it. It's probably more full featured than FL express or whatever that is. Edit: oh, and Cakewalk Music Creator 3 is an amazing sequencer for $30.
