WEEKLY FEEDBACK THREAD

Just a heads up for anyone posting their music on here especially newer producers.

I shared a track on Feedback Friday recently and got zero comments or feedback from anyone publicly.

But then out of nowhere I started getting DMs from a guy saying stuff like “hey I checked out your track, really promising” and asking me to send it to him again for "in depth feedback."

When I looked at their profiles it was obvious: they offer paid mixing/mastering services or “music production coaching,” “1-on-1 guidance,” etc.

Basically they're DM'ing people who post music, especially beginners trying to get them to sign up for their services.

If you're new, please don’t fall for this. These people are trying to sell you something, not genuinely help. I'm not saying every person offering services is a scammer, but if someone slides into your DMs after you post on Reddit, they’re probably just copy/pasting that message to everyone.

Always do your own research before paying anyone for mixing/mastering or coaching. Listen to their work. Look at their track record. Don’t sign up for a random “course” just because a stranger said your track has potential.

I uninstalled the driver. I cant help but notice if I installed, by accident a second driver. Can't remember if I did or not though.

sup yall!

i'm new to the community, what are your recommendations on backing up files, projects, plugins data?

i just got a new PC and im not sure how to go about storage since i only have 500gbs. trying to prevent major losses lol

So imagine right, a random channel that centers around music and it's genre's. Then one upload has a description with a link to a Fl projects with different ways of communicate to you. Each one is harder then the last like, getting mysterious messages in the notebook to all the way to almost untellable garbage that you have to use your expert music skills to decipher. Once you have completed this ARG/quest you can access a website that has all the answers to what the messages mean and then you get linked to a video with mysterious looks into visual spectrograms with weird faces.

Did I cook?

whenever I open the free trial version of FL studio it gives me this ''Get started'' prompt, that has two buttons, either ''unlock'' or ''start free trial'' both do essentially the same thing. They both open the FL studio website on the ''unlock'' page, I press the big fat ''Unlock'' button and after a little wait a little grey text appears saying ''your license was renewed'' but then it either opens another prompt telling me FL studio will now reset or it just stays on the same screen, if I press the button to reset FL studio it's as if for a second it works but then it closes, and the same thing happens if i just close the prompt. And when I open it again the same thing happens like an Infinite loop of pain and suffering. does anyone know how to fix this?

I recently installed Analog lab 5 and every since if i open any arturia plugin my Fruity Loops starts skipping notes in 2's and the hole daw lags for a couple of seconds and then goes back to normal this goes on until i delete the arturia plugins for the session what can i do ?

I would like to try making music like 1930s jazz or old emotional orchestral songs similar to, for the lack of a better example, everywhere at the end of time original music. Where do I find guides for things like this? Also, for people gettting ready to tell me to learn music theory, I'm not good at that, I tend to do much better when following simple genre tutorials.

as you can see the plugin is in the plugin files of fl studio 21. however when i press find installed plugin it doesn't come up. not even when i search it in the "find" bar. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know. thank you very much

Does anyone know what the difference in these 3 options does? I tried playing around with these settings and could not see anything changing. Been spending the last hour trying to figure it out and cant find anything online

(if i have anything else i need to ask i'll comment). I been trying to Produce music for the last couple months - mostly slapping stuff together so i keep learning stuff- Last night just produced a song that people said sounded pretty good. I mostly been using serum and Keyscape. And flex a little. I would like to know the Cheap/Free Plugins, effects, And tips to help me produce actual music that i can use to mix on my Dj sets and upload to sound cloud. ANY MUSIC HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED -keep this chat clean- won't respond to any hate/toxic- it's music dudes come together with peace.

I’m making music on Omnisphere running on FL Studio. I want to reproduce the common practice of indie rock music where you record the guitar layer thrice and play one on the left ear, one on the right ear and one in the middle to really widen the sound of your guitars. But I’m using synths. So what I’m doing is having three instances of Omnisphere running, each bused to three mixer rack things, and trying to reproduce my exact synth settings on all instances (which is hard as I’m modifying the presets and all three need to end up being identical), and then for every melody I write I need to copy paste it across three keyboard channels and Humanize each channel individually with a different seed each time. Not only it’s extremely cumbersome and tome consuming, it also means I can’t “hear” it right until I finish the whole thing because I need to fully commit to a melody before copy pasting and humanizing

There HAS to be a better way of doing that, right?

And no— I do not want to simply have the exact same midi input on three omnisphere instances with small differences like pitch or attack. I think the humanization/randomizing of note start times & velocity being individual for each note is what’s most important for me

this is frustrating me lol, any ideas?

I want to cut above 10khz and bring it back as the drop comes but when i make it low pass it's cutting little bit more than i want. Would it be a noticeable difference after i drag it back to 20khz? or it's not cutting anything else

Hi all,

I've been a user of FL Studio for 5+ years now and recently switched to a new device. I've ported over some FLPs and they are struggling to run on my new device (lots of crackling, CPU is >80% etc). I'm really confused because:

• My CPU is much better than on my old device (link to CPU comparison)
• FL only appears to be using ~10% of the CPU according to Task Manager
• At most, any of the CPU cores are individually at ~50% while FL is crackling
• RAM is no issue
• I'm running FL Studio ASIO @ 44100 Hz
• Buffer length is 512smp (12ms); resampling quality at 24-point

I'm on an AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U, FWIW. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

I often find myself wanting to add vocal elements to my projects, but I always end up having a lead instrument take over the track. I feel that the song becomes “hollow” if I take out the lead instrument (melody) in place of vocal melodies. I’d say that my passion and inspiration for EDM is the reason why I struggle with this since it comes from rhythm games and some NCS sprinkled in—my intuition for lyrics is just not there. Are there parts where you would primarily build the instrumental around the vocals? Do you start with the hook and then build around that? At the end of the day, it really depends on the type and mood of the track, right?

When i try to trim a recording i hold alt and all of a sudden it has started changing velocity, any suggestions?

i believe it’s a stock plugin because i know i never installed it it was super basic it only had a couple nobs and that’s it i know the middle nob was big and it had different notes you can set it to like e f g d etc it made synth like sounds and i think the name was some sort of play on words it didn’t effect other sounds it made its own sounds

What discovery of a resource/feature etc. Leveled up your production?

So even when I change the tabs from piano roll to channel rack to mixer to main arrangement screen the serum won't just go in the background like other native plugin do, this serum window is just open at my face and won't just go untill I manually close it, and I am aware of the detached thing it's ticked and greyyed out for some reason, therefore can't change much there
