you can eat them...nah jk. Its a hard program for the average person to use. People that are actually devoted to becoming a producer know how to use it.
Reply:There is nothing easy about creating music. I'm actually a hobbyist producer. I use FL Studio 7. It's going to take more than just a day or two to get good at it.





But you can check out http://www.warbeats.com for their video tutorials. That's one of the best FL tutorial websites around. =)





Eventually you'll have to upgrade your software, if you want to be a serious producer. Music is NOT cheap. I bought my AKG Perception 100 condenser mic. for $100 (retail is $200) and my M-Audio AudioBuddy mic. pre. for $80 (retails at ~$130). So if you want to be serious, you'll have to fork over some money. =P





I do recommend anyone to start with FL Studio. It's a simple piece of software, though it may not seem that way to you right now. =P LoL. But just be glad you didn't try to start with DigiDesign's ProTools or Apple Logic Pro. LoL.





I've only been doing music for a few years. I have to upgrade my software or spend money on a GOOD plug-in before I can do anymore music. I'm already pushing FL to its extremes. LoL.





Don't let anyone tell you that you can't get some good sounds out of it. Check my sources for my MySpace Music page. The only song on there is one that my bro and I did, and I produced it using FL Studio. That just goes to show that FL Studio can do some pretty amazing things.





Anyhow, check out the sources for more tutorial links. Google is your best friend. =D And my MS Music page.





If you need anymore help just send me an e-mail: the_dadd_from_tn2005@yahoo.com. Or you can IM me on Yahoo! Messenger.

Reply:Fruity Loops is very easy, just start playing around with it. The intro will include a kick, snare, high-hat I believe and their should be a tempo available like 120bpm. Think of the 16 grey boxes next to the kick/snare/high-hat as 16th notes ... simply stated for kick 1100000010000000 for the snare 0000100000001000 and high-hat 1000100010001000 that is just simple and you can switch it up do whatever you are feeling. On the left side panel their are instruments that you can right click and add to the playing field. Use them for the melodies etc. Right click instruments to put into 'piano roll' switch up the keys to make a song. you might notice a 1-9 squares at the top these are the different tracks lets say. The instruments you are playing with will be on every one, just different to however you change it. To make a song, change them up and add aside from looping each track you can include them into a musical scenario of organization, just unclick the lit box for loop and I cannot think of the exact words but play around with right clicks and you'll find an area to add tracks to make a whole song, hope that helps, ask some more questions on here if you need any help, I love Fruity Loops it makes you a real digital musician with a lot of effort and dedication.


Peace,


Chris
