Title: How do I even synth
Post by: unknownloner on February 02, 2015, 02:25:44 AM
I've started to try and learn what FL Studio can do recently, and learn how to music too.

Here's my first shot at something more than 5 seconds

I am confused at the topic title. Are you asking how does one synth or do you mean you are showcasing how you actually do it?

Anyway nice sound. Does it use a VST plugin or presets?

To answer your first question: yes
To answer your second, combination of presets and combining filters and whatnot.

Aah ok. I myself use VST plugins for more freedom, although when I do it's not in FL Studios and I usually only use free ones (most are expensive). One I liked a lot was the one that came with Magix Music Maker 2008 and was called Revolta 2 or something. I used it to do my song Everest.

There was a thread somewhere on Omni with full of free VST plugins, but they were much more limited and I don't know if the links still work.

EDIT: https://www.omnimaga.org/general-music-discussion/some-good-free-vsts/msg56919/#msg56919 They don't, but they're still available elsewhere on the site: http://www.dskmusic.com/category/vsti-all . If I recall correctly, Euro Blast from the Past used some of those, while both Everest and STHUMFSOB used Revolta 2+some crappy drum VST. The rest of my discography used softwares from Jester Interactive and CodeMasters.

I didnt even realize that those vsti's from music maker are compatible with other software. I should try using them with fl-studio.

Keoni29 it depends. If you meant Revolta 2, it's possible that it isn't and I'm unsure if it even works in any version besides MM14/2008, since it was not included in any other. It won't hurt to try, though, but good luck finding the VST online >.<

The stuff I linked above is not necessarily for MM, because Necro was using FL Studios IIRC and I used Sony ACID Music Studios by then.

VSTs by design should be compatible with everything that support VSTs.

There can sometimes be some issues, though. For example, if your music development environment lacks some features required by the VST plugin, then it probably won't even play a sound. Same if that music software doesn't run properly on your system (for example, Reaper had no sound at all on my XP machine)
