I got fruity loops a while back to make that rap song, (which the music is nearing completion), but i have been listening to alot of _her space holiday_ and _XOXOPanda_ and I was really feeling the mellow electronic music thing, so on sunday, I gave it a shot. It’s about 3 hours of work. This is what I came up with using the few instument packs i had on my computer. I don’t think it’s great by any means, but i think if it had lyrics it could be nice.

Not bad for a first try. Are you going for the heavy synthesized sound or is that just the rough cut first draft? ---

Been doing it since I was 14. it’s much easier if you pair something like fruity loops up with a more studio style software, i.e. anything from Cakewalk. I like Guitar Tracks Pro. I think it goes up to 32 digital tracks, with a full mixer and alot of sound engineering options to tweek, giving you alot more freedom to do different things. I’ve got GTP on CD if you’re interested. If i knew you could install it on as many computers as you wanted to I wouldn’t have paid for the damn thing. ---

> [@fairgentleman Z](#): > > good, for an 8 bit gaming system i agree that it does sound a bit too digital, and have decided that the organ-y sound is what’s giving it that feel. I really want to replace it with a violin, but as of yet, cannot find something that has a good violin sound. I downloaded a bunch of violin samples, but they don’t seem to play well. ---

Hrm, sounds a bit of a trainwreck with the melodies in the beginning. other than that - it’s ok. i should be nearing completion with my holiday “album” soon as well 😛 ---

\<---- Zong pretty much said it all though. Fruity loops is meh. But a good program to start with. BTW\_ I actually need fruity loops again for something… if anyone is willing to throw up a key or anything, shoot me a PM. Thanks! ---

> [@newman](#): > > anyone have anything that sounds less synthy? I don’t really know what else to use… Find a Mic, Mic up your drums. Record sound files of every piece of your kit (ex. snare, hihat, kick, etc.) and put appropriate file names to them. You can then import these sound files into Fruity Loops. Im sure you can find generic drum sounds online too, that would probably be much easier. (I’m pulling an all nighter so this may or may not make sense) ---

Sounds a lot like the old MIDI stuff I played with back when I first got my AWE32. Might still have some piano samples on floppy, but I believe it was recorded at 22KHz so it’s probably of the same if not worse quality. I’ll dig them out in the morning and see what I find. ---
