so reason or fruityloop and which version, and right now all i got is a mouse and a keyboard =/


Reason 3.0....FL 6.5somethin

you can still make a beat without a Controller(piano)...especially in Fruity Loops. It's how I started out.
Just go to
"Options"
"Switches"
and check
"Typing to Keyboard"
you basically are confined to the letters on the keyboard...if you start making and messing with chords and melodies then you will definately need a controller.
It makes the work flow faster, and you can get sick with the keys.
But you can still tap beats out with the computer keyboard.

Or...you can pencil em in with the mouse.

Just work with what you got for now, learn it, and then decide if you wanna break bread for other pieces.

Like right now, i'm just getting into the way things sound and how to get that right mix. I got some @#%$ computer speakers and am seriously thinking on dropping 5 bills on some Monitor speakers, but with all the V releases, it's making it hard to do.

a controller is just another name for a piano keyboard or drumpad, etc.

It works through something called MIDI.
you can 'trigger' sounds through the controller with the samples or drumkits that you have in FL/Reason, etc.

so, it's just like having a grand piano with like a million different sounds, like synths, basses, strings, and whatever you have.

does that make sense?

This is what I have.
It was like a 150 at the time.

exactly...facin - i dont think he was calling you out or anything, its just a lot of people make the mistake of getting it b/c its cheap only to find out its blank... reason soounds , FL sounds, garageband all have sounds in them and can be added, so you use the midi keyboard to control those sounds

Thanks for the link hopefully I can use that

And I second that tutorial..maybe on youtube or something
 
Let me try the recycle tutorial. This is what I do and know.

First, the sample cannot be in mp3 format, I usually chop and convert it to a .wav file in Cool Edit.
I know your chop game is on point Time so, should be easy.

After the wav is shot out, open Recycle and drag the .wav sample into it.

It'll say something like "move the left locator to the 1st slice point"
I say "Yes"

CLick on the "Preview Toggle" icon, it's right arrow in a circle thing at top

Then I set the "bars" column to "4"

Then I set the "Sens" slider to a point where slices show up, it's up to you where you want to set it, but I usually don't do to much. It just determines single pressed keys when you drop it from Dr. Rex.

Then "File", Save as "....." and it will be converted to a Rex file.

End of that.


In Reason, open a DR. Rex.
Load what you just chopped and converted (the Rex file)
then just press the "To Track" button and Bam.
I think the keys for this are the same as where the Redrum samples would be.
That's all I know.

Before mastering the track, make sure the mix is perfect. Try recording the vocals at 0db and make sure the input of the mic doesn't distort. You can also lower the vocals and raise the beat a few db.

Mixing - there is no right or wrong only good and bad...mixing is what and how you want the listener to hear your music...so if you want them to hear the beat turn that sucker up vice versa...I personaly like to mix so that it feels the track is hugging the vocals ...so its like 55 beat 45 vocals

Mastering is making sure all songs on one tape are at the same level

If you listen to ludacris - money maker in the headphones are monitors
You will hear a great mix and master
 
^^ Thanks for the last two replies.. they helped.

^ Still haven't gotten this ? answered though....

ANY HELP OUT THERE?

Facin - I don't use FL...but that hard hittin long bass...can be acheived different ways

One is picking out a SUB ...subs can last for as long as you hold down the key or pad

Next to can just pick out a piano or electric guitar sound and choose a low keyboard octave and create the bassline effect

On mpc's they have sliders so it works well to drag out efx
Lastly if you have mpc or reason you can mesh sounds to together or create your own sound to fit that long hittin bass

All in all I think you meant a sub bass though, if not try the other 2 techniques

On another note made a cold drumline...but couldn't find any thing to match it...it was an original beat, not a sample and sounded like the flipmode squad could have got on there
