Got style?

Hlao-roo	Date: October 22, 2004 @ 2:53 PM There are so many different ways to play with Fruity loops... I have a friend that plays with all of the settings until he gets a great sound and then spend time getting a beat... DeltaF86 Another friend of mine just makes almost random stuff that somewhat fits together... OvenFresh And I just make Tones and stuff with the presets and change them with the mixer. Then I make this beat with Chords and scales and then mix them all together... And it all sounds awesome... Ovenfresh makes cool almost "bluesy" toned beat that is techno at it's core. DeltaF86 makes these awesome almost rock (some of them are) and punk mixes, but with a trance feel... I make these techno songs that are auroric... What styles do you all use?
TransAutobot	Date: October 22, 2004 @ 3:19 PM well i dont make that techno stuff but i do make a variety of different sounding beats (Songs on my page) For Example: 1) "Mentality Of The Psychotic" - Which reminds me of Hannibal Lector everytime I listen to it. lol 2) "Weekend At The Carribean" - A calm reflecting track that I site back and think of good memories I had. 3) "The Most Deadiestly Samurai Alive" - A Strong Unstoppable Japanese Warrior comes to mind.. lol thats it. 4) "The Last Empire" - Reminds me of a clash between 2 Strong Kingdoms, in the medieval knight times. 5) "A Thousand Armies Strong" - This flat out reminds me of the Terminator when he's walking towards you in dark night street filled with fog and smoke. "I'll be bock" And more but I'd be taking to much space on this topic to explain them all .

AdamsGod	Date: November 17, 2004 @ 1:40 PM i take the sample as it is from FL.. import it onto Cubase and play with it there. Cubase has alot to offer.. at the end of the day.. it ends up sounding like something way different then how it started (you can check it out if you want!)
djeffectz	Date: November 22, 2004 @ 5:08 PM I like jazzy sounding music but with electronic flare in it - whether that be breakbeats, polysynths, etc. Most of my music has an urban feel to it. How do I go about making a song? I start with making a beat or two, or three first. Then I add what hits and fx I like with it, then I work on basic chord progessions to get the feel of my song then I make the various synth parts including the main melody. Then I usually let it play and fill it in the way I want it to flow while it's playing to give it a more live or interactive feel. Then I go back and edit it over and over adding more, taking away, etc. I do all the effects and mixing as I go. That about sums it up. I may not always follow that path, just the logical way for me to go about it most of the time. Check out my stuff to hear what I am talking about.

MissKnowItAll	Date: November 24, 2004 @ 6:34 PM oufff... a dificult question. every time i sit and begin to work it is a different style. usually i have a slight idea what i want (but just slight ) and then if it is ambient i go with the melody first or the atmosphere.. when it is drum and bass i begin with bass and when it's perfect i go on. i usually use absynth plug-in for that. i play a melody and then change samples to find the appropriate one. and in the end i play with it's sound..
MissKnowItAll	Date: November 24, 2004 @ 6:36 PM and yes. all of my music here is only FL.
Hlao-roo	Date: November 28, 2004 @ 1:21 PM Yeah, well, none of my music turns out to be exactly what I want it to be, so what does it matter?
