    for FL studio users, if you have serumFX you can use this as an alternative to manipulate its EQ, the ADSR and many more that is in the simpler preset in ableton

    • @gianni5474
      @gianni5474 2 місяці тому

      also to add, you can use the LFO to achieve the wobbly sound, just route it to the noise effect, you dont need to turn on both oscillators, as for the low pass (in a way), use the eq on the most right side pannel, just turn on the Noise and EQ to your liking, for the ADSR, you can use the samplers ADSR (doesn't really make a big of a difference in my opinion)

    Everyone is forgetting that fred again likely was fingertapping that kick beat. He likely captured fred again's fingerdrumming performance for that sequence. Among other sections of the song. But seeing everyone (hundreds of clips)try to recreate this with zero acknowledgement that fred again is present on this track in terms of sound selection design and application is astounding. This is now a grammy winning track.

Im so confused because everyone tells me to shove everything into limiters which causes certain issues but I also am under the impression that my mix needs to peak at -3db for mastering.

I love music and I want to make music that fits the soul of music while finding new sounds to use. I have further dreams of studying music outside our atmosphere and how it changes properly im more of a sound design person then a music producer but as I am trying to make a track for distrokid I feel I can be considered atleast a novice to intermediate producer. I did try a university but I failed grammar three times and was about to fail a fourth so I had to stop due to failing grammar was adding to how much I had to pay. 100$ per failed class

    I am so so sorry my beloved friend Will, Dj Mandragora is the Greatest Of all Time. There is no other artist that started in 2012 and has so many tracks and even more in the style they found themselves (Mandragora is the founder of futureprog). 757.000 subscribers in 10 years. He is so able to combine psychedelic trance with trap, jazz, dubstep, hip hop, rap and classic music as well. His sound is so magnificent, so distinctive and characteristic.

Your prompting suggests that you know that there is not a project file and asks me to sign up for your webinar.
