[DJCallYou]

Hey guys. I'm fairly new to Fl studio, but I still managed to create a pretty decent progressive house song. Released it today :)

[AquaSystemRecords]

16 years old made this progressive track using FL Studio:

Paulo DeLorenzo - Slow-Motion

[subhanero92]

@AquaSystemRecords have you heard about Madeon?

[dtanobo]

@AquaSystemRecords It's not that good. Madeon was 16 and younger when he made his shit and he is on the same level as professionals of this time.

[Cracker2Jack]

OMG, i seriously dunno where to get the z3ta synth???

[xaozx]

@Cracker2Jack I want to know too :D

[Cracker2Jack]

@xaozx I have the vst, but i dunno how he got that preset sound... If u r still wondering where to get the vst, u can get it here through torrent websites..

[rocharoch]

REALLY HELPED ME BECOZ OF YOUR VID I NOW HAVE LEARNT HOW TO MAKE A PROPA MAU5 STYLE SONG CHECK OUT MY VERSION ON MY CHANNEL!!!!

[Crystal0Oxygen]

I have a problem... When you do the actually progressive part of the synth (7:35-7:50) it doesn't make that more "metallic" sound. Mine just gets a little louder. The cutoff is normal though. Help please?

[rocharoch]

this is probz best 1 ive watched tht taught me thank u 

[djmurcs]

@gomenos421 naa just on the clap sound

[yourcravingit]

People! Listen to the songs I made on my channel!

[DJz3taBEATS]

check this /watch?v=YkUMy4_RVEw

[TTSfilms]

Oh and how do you get your reversed snare to sound good? With every snare I use it ends up sounding crappy...

[djmurcs]

@TTSfilms just keep goin through em until u find 1 that sounds good, try find a long snare sound

[TTSfilms]

This is a remake of Medina-You and I (deadmau5 remix) btw

[djmurcs]

@TTSfilms lol yea says it in description :)

[TTSfilms]

@djmurcs hahaha wow im an idiot :P

[DJCallYou]

Wanna hear a housy song I made with FL Studio?

Check out my channel! I started with FL for some weeks ago, but thanks to tutorials like this, my FL skills have gone from really crappy to just a little crappy. Hopefully they will soon get good :)

[ThomasMichelOfficial]

Nice tutorial, look on my channel what progressive house song I made :D maby you got any tips? thanks:D

[luigi1098]

This is good stuff Thumbs up 4 ya :P keep em comin

I just recently made a electro house track if you're

interested in watching, its on my channel xD

[qqwlyd]

Hey, could you send me a link to the snare?

[qqwlyd]

@DaElectroHouse For your information, it's called Sidechaining, and you could use Gross Beat to sidechain it.

[iwasborn4dying]

@qqwlyd in my opinion the peak controller sounds better and can be customized. somebody up there ^^^ says its the worst in the universe but it sounds alright to me

[djmurcs]

@iwasborn4dying yeaa some people do it different ways but the peak controller has always worked fine for me so i keep using it

[OrcaineKode]

great tutorial here mate! 

[ThomasTiago]

hey nice work, like ur stuff!! defo keep it up!! check out my channel, c wa u fink ...Tiago :D

[eraaaa]

nice, good vid for the beginners out there. Check out some of my songs on my channel, i have a big release coming up in February, check out some of my songs before they drop on beatport!

[uniQeZOR]

Made my own mix/remake :D

Regular progressive house, still going to do v2

[driveinshowbunnik]

what is the song called in the real

[djmurcs]

@driveinshowbunnik says it in the description

[chargers151]

@driveinshowbunnik

you and i deadmau5 remix

[TomekCro]

what kicks, snares and claps did you exactly use from the xfer pack? i cant see in the video because of the quality

[Fawkes002]

fl peek controller is the worst side chain compressor in the universe

[djmurcs]

@Fawkes002 which 1 do u use? this 1 does the job for me

[Fawkes002]

@djmurcs i use ableton compressor its way better. Actually that doesent do the job for anyone tbh.

[8B6EB8]

@djmurcs sidechain in mixer + limiter at the synth that is supposed to be sidechained

[G33KOfficial]

Great tutorial really helped me out!

Appreciate it all thanks man :)

[hellenic300]

Nice tutorial!

A bit hard to follow because of the poor video quality and lack of narration, but I got there in the end.

Thanks.

[Adktion1]

wat synth do u use can u let me know thnx?? cuhs i cant find a synth

[TheIRONMANPRO]

wowow man damn !!!! what tutorial !

[nilsodor]

nothing important ?! i just find out wxacly what u mean and its simple. I think its realy usfull ! Thanks

[djmurcs]

@JeriEldahdah45 its a tutorial video not a song ;)

[nilsodor]

what the fuck did he just say ? 3:19

[djmurcs]

@nilsodor i wrote 'synth' & 'kick' but its not really anything important

[nilsodor]

@djmurcs thanks proggresive house is realy chill !

[816dexter]

this sucks that i only have the demo but i cant afford the full version(s)

[CariagaXIII]

@816dexter

can i help you :P

[816dexter]

@CariagaXIII how?

[manjavo]

the synth melody at the beginning: did you just create that on the spot? or is that the deadmau5 song?

[djmurcs]

@manjavo na the tune is from the deadmau5 remix of "you & i" but like all my other new tracks are just all from scratch, my ideas :)

[manjavo]

@djmurcs thanks. would you reccomend this program and how long does it take to learn to use?

[djmurcs]

@manjavo yea i would recommend it, real easy & quick to learn compared to some other programs out there

[WTF401kevvy]

dude i want the Vst's

[fathemi]

cool. but i dont get why people are always trying to remake other peoples songs, rather than just making their own originals

[djmurcs]

@fathemi yea i no ay, i rarelyy make remixis & remaks & stuff, i hate doing it, even wen i make my own tracks i neverr use loop samples or vocal samples, i want it done 100% myself, i only did this deadmau5 remake cause its a tutorial & people know the song already :)

[djmurcs]

@fathemi yea i no ay, i rarelyy make remixes & remakes & stuff, i hate doing it, even wen i make my own tracks i like NEVER use loop samples lol or vocal samples, i want it done 100% myself, i only did this deadmau5 remake cause its a tutorial & people know the song already :)

[asianbeverage]

@fathemi sometimes doing remakes and remixes helps people make their own tracks. y'know, artists borrow from other artists until something original comes out. it'll also help some new users understand how the original was created and how those ideas can be used to make their own productions

[fathemi]

@asianbeverage fair enough!

[CariagaXIII]

@asianbeverage

agree

[Farhanians]

@asianbeverage THIS IS SUPER TRUE

[ThatAndroidGlitch]

a shortcut if you're using fl 9 for sidechain is load it to the mixer > Gross Beat > Sidechain

[crisshady198666]

wow , great stuff mate , awesome work

[craiglandowski]

hey man, how do you change the song from there? like how do you change the notes so it still fits so you can make a full length song? ive been having alot of trouble to make a full song because every time i try to change the notes or instrument it doesn't sound right. And i don't want to have a 5 minute song that just keeps repeating itself every 2 measures. Please answer

[zyrannexx]

Can you tell me the VSTs you used to make the lead and sub bass?

[maarte2003]

@zyrannexx i think its Z3TA+

[zyrannexx]

@maarte2003 I see it now lol. Thanks what I should have asked is what preset did he use? if not his own.

[deftekmusic]

@maarte2003 Yea the one thats used is Z3ta+ its fairly good,i would also very highly recommend Sylenth1,its very good for prog house and basically any sub genre of house,there are also heaps of sound banks to go with it =)

[kingteck1]

thank you

[kingteck1]

thankyou



[MH20Music]

hehe good one =) finally someone who knows how to put thingz on...

[djmurcs]

@MH20Music cheers, check out my newest tracks if u want :)

[CommandoCo]

nice man :)



[RALPHpolo1967]

This sounds just like You&I -Medina(DeadMau5 Remix)

[punkekahh]

yeah, i saw this tut yesterday, about when i posted my subs, and made my own music based on this tut... if you want to check this out... /watch?v=RODchaFlHdw

And, your tut is just amazing. Cheers from Brazil

[DeeTunez]

what bass sound do ya use ?

[punkekahh]

beautiful

[djmurcs]

@punkekahh cheers :)

[Speedupdabeat]

Thanks a lot, this tutorial made the whole deadmau5-fruityloops-z3ta+-thi­ng clear for me, you're great !

[DjDanszky]

sound like the deadmau5 remix of you& i

[djmurcs]

@DjDanszky ya i was trying 2 remake it just for use as an example in the tutorial

[claybiter]

@DjDanszky no shit lol

[djmurcs]

@claybiter ahahah soooo many people have asked & i also have it named in description :)

[ThaGlenniator]

Very usefull thanks!

[assfacebitchnigga]

where can i download your tune??

[DITMN]

how much was fruity wrapper?

[DjDannYL]

I can't read the texts because the video has such a bad quality. What can I do? :(

[DITMN]

very well done

[killazman93]

I PLEASE SEND ME THIS SOUND !!! :) IM SO VEEERY WEEL:D!

[William9422]

Peak Controller is very useful

[TeehPimp]

Where did you get the synths etc? Sounds amazing

[djmurcs]

@TeehPimp cheers, its mostly from z3ta vst, synth i used was called "chords of life"

[assestic]

For some reason, when I create a automation clip for the cutoff in Z3ta+, it will not automate the cutoff unless I clip the automation clip itself, and when I export the track it will ignore the automation clip and not automate the cutoff like its supposed to. The cutoff on my synth stays static the entire track.

[OmniVisionElite]

@assestic Im having the same exact problem and its driving me nuts. What do you men by "clip the automation clip itself"? If I slice the front piece off you mean?

[JDubzBeatz]

@assestic type z3ta cutoff into youtube,tells you what to do on there

[mantax55]

Where did you find that cut off, I can't find it anywhere. Anyone please help.

[Chronamut]

ok dude how the HELL did you get the korg electribe MX in soundpack format? I've been looking everywhere but can only find hardware for it??

[Chronamut]

ok dude how the HELL did you get the korg electribe MX in soundpack format? I've been lookngi everywhere but can only find hardware for it??

[broadcastmyass4u]

someone please tell me where i can get some good synth sounds over the internet? im sick of having to mess around with all these crazy sounds in fl just to get them sound somewhat right

[MrRmixable]

fl please ?



[SullivanZg]

This is awaysome :) So Deadmau5ly

[kereltjeh14]

why dont you just work with automation clips? its ways easyer,

nice track btw...

[djmurcs]

@kereltjeh14 yea i always do now :)  i made this over a year ago thou

[shpotik]

wow just wow. sick!!!

[Petitisszz]

You & I (Deadmau5 Remix) :P

[Lat3x1337]

could you upload the song somewhere? ;D

[AHMEDIAN7]

What are the samples in the rythm that you use - that is all used in progressive house? cant see in your video above - to small and fuzzy

[Suris69xxx]

better to do an automation clip for fill1 cuttoff, easier to edit

[djmurcs]

@Suris69xxx yea true that lol im using automation clips for almost every effect in my latest stuf im making

[CrazyDutchParty]

dude that's focking awesome

[l3monsqu3zza]

solid song, im even loving it even though the kick loop you built doesn't have many elements!

[djmurcs]

@l3monsqu3zza yeaa true it was a pretty simple loop, usually i like 2 try put alot of detail into my beats like my newest tracks on youtube page, check em out if u want :)

[Boris1990ua]

Greate! Can you share flp file? For better understanding

[DaiPodAppReviewer]

can you make a download link for the song you made? i like it :)

[preditis]

this is one of the best ive ever seen!@

[djmurcs]

@preditis cheers :)

[FarizMelb]

where can i download some free sound packs .... mainly kicks . snares and hihats

[marcstylzzz]

i wanna copy exactly what u did, but i can't read anything from ur software, wish the video was a better quality

[TheTraxters]

@marcstylzzz Be original your self instead :)

[marcstylzzz]

@TheTraxters maybe that's how i wanna learn the track structures, but thanks for ur opinion.

[mufferrs]

what do you do first, do you click > file > new or what

[kickflipme22]

For beginners : Try using a sweep(Wich is a cymbal of some kind that builds up so from little to much noise and after the drop a little noise) It gives a nice buildup;)

[jebbbbej]

Which are the drums numbers you used from the Xfer Deadmau5 soundbank? I can't read the numbers of the drum samples...

[jebbbbej]

Hello. Which drums did you use in XFER Deadmau5? I can't read the numbers on the vid...

[DJSillzor]

automation clips ftw.

[djmurcs]

@DJSillzor lol yea been usin alot lately

[BraddMusic]

@djmurcs lmao, i was one of the first guys to get u into em lol. You just did it in the piano roll lol

[BlackToastTunes]

hey nice job, but how did you get the small whoosh sound in the drums. i got xfer but i cant find it :)

[fsx757rules]

Hey dude,

Did you get the full deadmau5 XFR?

I am wondering how you get such good bass or kick.

I have looked too but i also cannot find it!

Could you help me out mate :]

Also, Amazing what you have done!

Sounds just like deadmau5 ;)

[dopey666]

What program is that?
