Acepincter's method - How I learned it all

I try to demonstrate how I use a particular method of experimentation to learn so much about the various features of these software programs, including 2 exercises you can try.

One question, though, HOW can we change the Window's default soggy tune to an .mp3 we've created? Like, WHERE is the freakin' options for that?

[AcePincter]

Gotta use WAV, brother. Should be alright - you don't want your SFX too long...

Thanks. This isolated experimentation seems like a staple learning method for piecing together a vast subject like music. I also appreciated the Intro to Intervals which I found via warbeats. Hopefully soon I will reveal some of my own mad FL experiments. MWAHAHA. =)

Can't wait!

How the hell did you figure all this out??

[AcePincter]

Although velocity typically indicates the "strength" of a note, it can do many things. It is most often _mapped_ to volume, but it may also control parameters like brightness, attack, filter, harmonics, etc.

For example, a (real) struck guitar string sounds _different_ at different strengths, not just louder or quieter. It can have varying tones based on the strength or might make a bit of extra fuzz at maximum. A good velocity control will factor these sorts of things in.

So basically you are teaching people to create stolen music with subtle velocity changes ala Lady Gaga or ... any other musician today? Cool...

College. We have a pretty decent music department here. Not sure how that fares across the nation, though.

@manictiger

Dude I've been thinking about doing this in the last few weeks! Did you just learn online or did you go to some teacher or someone?

@Xo1ot1 yeah man i'm in one at the moment :/

[Xo1ot1]

excellent vid! got me back on track again since I'm in a creative slump currently . thank you

I took some music theory courses. It's grueling but rewarding. I recommend every composer learn the classic methods. It might not be intuitive, but it will make you a better composer/musician.

@ROZEAUDIO Theyre underuns caused by your computer lagging because it cant cope with processing demands, make sure your using ASIO4ALL Sound drivers and play around with buffering length. I dont know too much on the subject but good luck!

hey Acepincter,awesome tutorial thanks ! can i ask you,do you have any trick to expand the 2 bar loop to a whole song ? Cause i get stuck very often at that stage

How do u change the default windows stuff

@KuraiX Music is sound. What you hear and recreating that is more important than the medium in which the sound is conveyed.
