Indian Instruments Test

[rockysikander]

how do we change the name in the top right corner of fl studio?

[MusicalSamurai]

@rockysikander

I'm not quite sure what you mean.

There is no name in the top righht hand corner

and the top left hand side is the name of the project when you load it

(or the name of the Registered User of FL Studio,

mine usually says "Musical Samurai" in place of "Indian.flp")

Questions are fine but please try to be a little more specific so I can try to answer you with more accuracy. :)

the Tabla sounds out of tune. Remember Tabla sounds are customized to the scale being played

[MusicalSamurai]

@2009Sajeev

Well I didn't know that the Tabla was customisable although I suppose I should have...

Thankyou for the information, I will remember it whenever using these type of instruments again.

Sorry I don't get what you're asking of me.

If you're asking me for my Virtual Instruments then, it's not going to happen.

Go buy them like I did.

The brand name for these 2 instruments is "Native Instruments" Colossus & Battery 3.

No idea what else you want from me. You have to be specific because I'm stupid :)

great video! thanks :)

[MusicalSamurai]

@Ekmek90

Thankyou.

I kept it minimal in this tune, Colossus is on its own channel with no effects.

Master channel has basic equalisation to lift the mids and highs for crispness.

in the "Ethnic Pitched -> Duduk" instrument I am using Colossus' Native Reverb with these settings:

Size: 100

Dampening: 0

Reverb Return: 0.1 db (or as close to 0 as you can get it without being Minus)

It sounds better using a MIDI keyboard with note velocity, this video I'm playing using the keyboard I type with.

which percussion kit is that with all the cymbals? it's great.

[MusicalSamurai]

@darkgandhi05a

All of the percussion sounds in that my friend were from

Native Instruments Battery 3

You see it at the beginning with colourful pads, Each coloured pad is a WAV sample of various sounds in the particular grouped preset "North Indian Kit"

Which is what inspired me to call it Indian and not Arabic...

[darkgandhi05a]

@MusicalSamurai Thanks! It's clearly in the video haha. Sorry I didn't know what Battery was until a few days ago. I think SwarSystem's Swarplug has more realistic sitar and tabla (if you're interested). It's a bit pricey though if you don't plan on using it more than a few times.

[jesuisravi]

I like it!

[munkdo]

really think you should make more videos, especially with those vsts.

I caught a glimpse off that "east west" one, seems like a really good one, think i might get it.

what other vsts were you using in this video?

as i said great video. I'm a noob at this but this was greatly appreciated

[Cruelladevil66]

This sounds arabic NOT Indian :p

[MusicalSamurai]

@Cruelladevil66 Notice how I said "Indian Instruments" not "Indian Tune"

I believe a Sitar, Duduk and the Drum kit I'm using are "Indian Instruments" or am I wrong?

[Cruelladevil66]

@MusicalSamurai your right the sitar is indian but not the duduk.The duduk is middle eastern i'm not sure weather its turkish or arabic but it's definetly not indian.

[KaersoNProductionS]

Nice compo man. Very good

[MusicalSamurai]

I've been 'Into' music all my life but I've only had a computer for 9 years and I started out making MIDI's in Vienna Soundfont Studio :)

When Fruity Loops first came out I was so impressed with the idea of samples instead of cheap midi sounds I had to get it...

Years on, now getting to grips with FL9 and my Ever-Growing VSTi collection I've never been happier to make music and share it! :)

[felipebrasil5]

damn perfect!!! how long you study music??? do you think a newbie can do that?

[MusicalSamurai]

@felipebrasil5 I've been doing music composition through computers for over 10 years but I've been playing for much longer.

[MysticoDJPT]

hi mate, great feeling ! i send to you a pvt msg on myspace, take a look ;)

best regards from portugal

[MusicalSamurai]

When I get the internet at my flat I'll start making some new vids. I've started quite a few new projects that sound pretty good.

[MerlinofChaos]

Folks I know this guy we used to try to make an MMORPG I was the gameplay designer for it but the idiot thought I was too egotistical... (I'm under the influence of good well right now) so we stopped, anyhow, Adam cooper has a really damn nice ear so you should listen to his other music... He's doing all of his music from his PC keyboard so it's even more so in the "WoW factor" but anyhow, I'm playing the synths too (Not on his music on my own, but I'll post my music soon) anyhow have fun

[judgedamage]

aw he don't need me :( lol good shizzle man sounds awesome
