Basic FM8 Tutorial - Creating a House Bass/Lead

[housemusicmixlove]

where can i download FM8 ? 

[hueysweeney]

Sounds a bit like the early Laurient Garnier stuff.

[40silvastar]

Does anyone know of a video tutorial on how to create an ambient pad or atmosphere?

[cautiontext]

What is the other program?

[Alxbeginner]

@cautiontext Ableton Live 8 (i think thats what youre asking about?)

dear lord



[mw2king89]

i heard of this VST from Skrillex himself.

[bengchemikal]

yeah, alot of people watch interviews, dip.

[00dance345]

need i a keybord to use the program

[decayingtait]

@00dance345 You don't, you can sequence the notes in your DAW, or you can hit the keys by clicking your mouse

[decayingtait]

@decayingtait on the little keyboard at the bottom of FM8 (sorry for the two comments)

[ChaX424]

@00dance345 Almost all DAWs let you use "musical typing," I'm pretty sure Ableton does too. Basically you open up an window with a little keyboard and you can use your comp's keyboard to play it/ record.

[yoeltape]

is fm8 and what is the other program ?

[houje11]

@yoeltape

That's ableton :)

[VikingBlud]

NEED expert help....

When I automate something in the Easy/Morph panel and save the project it's like I hit "apply" and the automation restart at the point it was when I saved the project.

It's annoying to have  to put all the parameters at the "0" value before I save my project every single time.

beautiful! Thanks :)

[DJCosmicRift]

Awesome tutorial! Just got FM8 and it is a beast.

[Zkrudriverz]

god this synth is hard to understand :O

[torment3d]

@Zkrudriverz anything to do with FM synthesis is generally much more difficult than subtractive synthesis. Limit yourself to just this synth and you'll learn a lot in a small amount of time :)

[ImTheWackhead]

@torment3d are you serious ?

substractive is hard as balls.

[torment3d]

@ImTheWackhead no, no it's not.

Subtractive = waveform, cutoff, resonance. That's basically it. FM synthesis? Waveform 1, cutoff, res. Waveform 2, add to waveform 1, listening to weird shit going on. Rinse and repeat.

[ImTheWackhead]

@torment3d yeah but programming a decent synth in substractive is waaaay more difficult than FM synthesis.

you are less limited, but it requires alot more programming. making the above lead in a substractive synthesizer would probably cost alot more time than just 2 minutes.

[torment3d]

@ImTheWackhead I can tell you right now I can do it in 30 secs. Saw wave, detuned, cutoff filter. Seriously, I don't think you know what you're talking about. Secondly - you don't use additive synthesis and try and recreate in subtractive, because you can't.

[ImTheWackhead]

@torment3d wait, maybe i'm deluded, subtractive is with the thousands of little sine waves right ?

[torment3d]

@ImTheWackhead I've never heard of any synthesis engine that does that. lol

[ImTheWackhead]

@torment3d whatever :]

good day to you.

[Jannto]

@ImTheWackhead No, That's additive. Subtractive is the one one where you filter the sound, you "subtract" harmonics

[hatonerz]

Thx alot!
