Heres mymade trance!!

[TheDubstepForYou]

when i use the mixer, it changes all of my other channels aswell :/ please help me

[blkdaliamurder9000]

at 8:40 - 9:30 How do you get all them kicks and features on fl ? sorry im new im barely learning to use this program?

[ironclownfish]

It's called the "piano roll" because its modeled after old player pianos which had a roll of paper with holes punched in it for the notes. The notes in FL studio piano roll are analogous to those rectangular holes.

[Rowdouble]

Thanks man! this tutorial helped alot on understanding the Mixer =)

[0TheTechGuy0]

hey i dont have that vec pack or what ever how do u get that?

[oregonpker24]

Hey i just started making my own music, used LMMS a FREE software which didn't have good sounds but i made it work and now using FL studios and learning there going to bring my game to the next level

[maxlarsen]

haha just listened with my Adam monitors they said that ur kicks attacked ALOOT to mutch.. what monitors do u use buddy ??. i compared Kjaurus with Fruity compressor i actually liked Fruitys more dont know but for kick i think its alot better

[DJT0nic]

@maxlarsen behringer b3031a

this video is fairly outdated by now, at this point I use izotope alloy for all my mixing purposes and ozone for mastering.

[3daysgracefan117]

Trance crafter is a beast. Get out of here haters. I want to listen to DJ tonics beats on the radio. I support this awesome individual. :D

[Dymond200]

why do u EQ your kicks so high at 142hz? That is not where the bass is, 80hz is where the kicks should be EQ'd and sometimes a tiny boost at 5000hz???

[DJT0nic]

@Dymond200 this video is old so a lot of the information is a bit inaccurate.

most systems can only produce sounds as low as 50-60 Hz anyway, and boosting close to that range might sound bad on some cheaper hardware. nowadays I usually play it by ear though. there's no "standard" place to eq, if someone tells you that it's complete rubbish. HOWEVER, most kicks resonate at *roughly* 130 Hz and at 2kHz, but boosting higher or lower than that can give different results. again it's all preference.

[Dymond200]

@DJT0nic No most sound systems do not sound bad if the kick has been EQ'd lower, experience shows me.. Also, if you are a Trance Producer you are not making tracks to be played on smaller systems, yes of course the average person will play it through low spec speakers but generally speaking, you are creating music to be played out on big rigs at gigs/events.. Where the speakers CAN produce the lower frqs, DJ's will not support your track if it sounds bad played in the club/festival.

[trancecrafter]

@Dymond200 experience means nothing if the results still sound like shit. my behringer B3031As and pioneer HDJ-2000s aren't lying to me and it really depends on the samples being used. also, take into consideration the genre. boosting at 80 Hz can cause a disaster if done in the wrong way, in the wrong context. There IS NO standard Hz to boost for every kick because every sample will sound different from each other, you have to play it by ear.

[trancecrafter]

@Dymond200 also, btw I checked out your channel and you have some decent stuff on there so I trust you know what you're doing. I'm not saying 80 Hz isn't a good place to boost at but I AM saying there's no universal frequency that works for every single kick.

If you're as pro as you say your are then you'd know that better than anyone.

[AstroBeatsProduction]

@Dymond200 Theres no right way to do anything. As long as it sounds good.

[carnivourlocust]

whoa ... the track in the intro ... whose is it?

[trancecrafter]

@carnivourlocust mine lol

I made it with fl

[carnivourlocust]

@trancecrafter m8 I beg you to finish this track ... it's killer!

[Tsrifdrazil]

where do you get your "techno trance essentials" and "guyver sample pack"?

[DJEPICx]

soo i guess there no FL studio for mac os x?

[DrDrolomehet]

Hey! I put everthing in my top half too! I thought i was doing it wrong because every video i see people don't do that. You should read this comment and reply to it. high fiveziez?

[DJT0nic]

@DrDrolomehet

back at 'ya :P

heheh it's interesting cause in FL v10 they are beginning to phase out the lower half. Guess it was a good idea to start using the top half after all :)

[DrDrolomehet]

@DJT0nic Well, I can see why either would be good, because the top half you can see each of the notes, and therefore if you want to cut a phrase a note short you can, but in the bottom half you can work much more compactly. I tried to use the bottom it just never works out well D:

[GigabyteX4]

Sick video intro man! mad props for that :P

[MCDEVVOMAN]

fuck sake.. this is the most high tech tutorial ive seen :D that song at the start is bangin but it sounds like dj tiesto...

What about The next tutorials !!

[Avalance21]

Awesome intro!

[mrly0ns]

nice man keep it up!

[NvrLonely254]

Wow , you broke your voice !

[iamtheultimate362]

what if we dont have those kicks? i'm using a demo, is it possible to do what you're doing with a demo?

[DJT0nic]

@iamtheultimate362

No. This tutorial series is teaching more advanced functions of FL in order to create tracks at a much more advanced level. Using the presets/sample libraries that come within FL makes it extremely difficult and sometimes impossible to accomplish the same tasks with other 3rd party additions to FL.

So no, if you want to make music that will actually sound GOOD then you will need to get up and go FIND the proper tools. I have already stated what you need in the first video.

[iamtheultimate362]

@DJT0nic ok... thanks! Anyways, i heard that RefX Nexus had some pretty good sounds. Btw, where did you get the ones u used in the video from?

[blinkzh]

@iamtheultimate362 crack fl studio :)

[IxXxIJamesIxXxI]

where do u get all your sounds like the kick and stuff message back please

[joopske]

Can you give me a link of the beta download?

Thanks

[andreilg2]

thanks for the video but it wouldve been alot more helpful if you used programs that everybody has

[blinkzh]

i have a question: its possible while you play ur computer keyboard, the melody u are making make without using the mouse?( sorry im not english so its difficult to me to explain)

nice work and nice tutorials!

[evilwaffles]

i have fl 8 xxl is tha still a good version?

[Take1Tutorials]

dude your intro is like 1 minute and ur camera sux :P

BUT ! ur tutorials are grate :P

[insecurepiano]

your intro bored me...

[tranceritza327]

WHAT SONG IS THAT PLEASEEE

[GodlikeJaysus]

Where do I go to increase my sound library?

[ThaFrozenOne]

Just wondering, did you teach yourself to do all of this, or did you do stuff at school that helped you with it or what? this is something i really want ot get into, buuut im not sure if its something i can just "do"

[trancecrafter]

@ThaFrozenOne I've been teaching myself, mostly through experimentation and lots of practice. Youtube has lots of tutorials that teach each skill, but the problem I have found is that they are scattered all over the place. That is one of the things I hope to solve with this new series. The advantage you'll find with my new tutorials is that all of those skills will be found in a single, easy to find location. ;)

[Legodanny123]

very helpful. thx.

[TheSilta]

Also, sorry to comment twice, but where did you get that set of kicks?

[DJT0nic]

@TheSilta check out "Vec 3" kinda expensive but it's got some great kicks. Good for some basic percussion noises =)

[Groovemove32]

@TheSilta mate search for a video called free hardstyle samples on youtube and get the minihead hunters pack the kicks are EPIC!

[TheSilta]

BITCH PLEASE... trancecrafter pwns. If anything, trancecrafter hates on you. Even in Soviet Russia, he STILL hates on you. He's the Chuck Norris of trance.

[MH20Music]

nice but .....im on fl stud 11 months :) and (im not making trance but) i should be as good as you....ur kinda slow improvin...

[littleheadspin]

I cant see a thing. The cam is too close to the screen. For a begginer like me; its hard to work out were you are and its hard for me to compaire mine to yours.

[trancecrafter]

@littleheadspin okay no problem =)

next tutorial will be zoomed out more

[regalia212]

fl studio is awesome i have the xxl producer edition and most of the vst . i just started about 2 months ago and have made some good progress but need the fine tuning skills like you. your new songs are def ten times better than your older ones keep on making good ass songs man!

[DjR3nny]

need good trance samples(kicks snaers etc.) PM me tnx in andvance

[tomsummerbluebyrne]

story bud ...wen is d next tut comin out ???

[sirdangolot5]

lol fiji deadmau5=/= trance :P

[ShadeNBG]

That kick sound is more attacking now??? are u kidding me....

[DJT0nic]

@ShadeNBG

Nah, I'm completely serious. What, would you prefer if I said that in different terms? :P

Okay, no problem. The gain on the compressor was up pretty high, and thus when I adjusted the attack/release envelopes, the sound level was peaking. in other words, the kick sounded like it was "more attacking."

Honestly people, do you have something better to do than poke fun at how I happened to phrase something? If some of you are advanced users and don't NEED a tutorial, then why watch it?

[Nugitt]

@pufixas gtfo.

[MrFijiWiji]

@pufixas fuck you.. deadmau5 and alot of other trance artists use fl studio! it works just as well as any DAW

[theones77]

@MrFijiWiji but deadmau5 also uses ableton

[andreilg2]

@MrFijiWiji deadmau5 uses ableton but you could say avb uses fl, which is true :D

[MrFijiWiji]

@andreilg2 deadmau5 uses fl in conjuction with abelton. he started out with fl studio

[andreilg2]

@MrFijiWiji ah alright, but i honestly believe every pro uses the majority of the programs, i mean im just starting out and ive got reason, ableton, fl studios, and audacity (lol)

[DJT0nic]

@pufixas FL Studio can accomplish the same tasks that Reason, Cubase, Protools, and logic can all accomplish...and with ease. You just need to know what you're doing and where to find the features.

why does it matter which software package you use to create a piece of art with? what matters is the final product, not what tools you used to create it.

[Sh33un]

@DJT0nic AvB interviewed a bunch of producers at ASOT 450 and all of them said the same thing!

[coolcorbin]

@pufixas it's not what program you use. it's how you use it. and your saying FL Studio is not pro go tell that to deadmau5 the number 1 dj in Canada. there is a whole list of pros who use FL Sudio.

[llindenau]

nice tutorials, ill be following these, i might not learn much, but its always fun to watch these videos :D.

[Duckman209]
