| ___________________________________ [Feb 8,2011 12:42pm - Slag NLI ""] arilliusbm said:Yes but those kind of programs do the work for you, not the other way around. Limits creativity IMHO This is a false statement. FL does not limit creativity. Example? - any electronic thing i've ever produced has been done in FL. Now that I know how to use the program fully, I can make anything I desire. The only features it doesn't do as well as it should are recording and automation. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 8,2011 1:18pm - arilliusbm ""] Martins, the link wasn't working. I think you guys are missing the point I was making. Granted, Impulse Tracker is much more primitive than FL because it's older. But that is what I mean - you have to program everything you do. You have complete control over everything you're doing, and this makes the learning curve high. That's why you had to switch to FL.. it takes a long time to fully understand the program, and how to program effects and everything into it. I dabbled in FL for a few years and couldn't stand it. I actually preferred Reason over FL, even though they aren't really the same. My biggest complaint with FL is that I felt it was too easy. I don't like having everything laid out in front of me. Tracking music is all numbers and programming and thus, feels more free. The primitive aspect of it makes it more genuine in my opinion, but I haven't touched FL in about 3-4 years so I'm not sure what the newest version is like. It's over-simplified with a short learning curve. Descending numbers and letters > Piano Roll, ANYDAY! |
| _____________________________ [Feb 8,2011 1:24pm - ark ""] Different tools for different jobs assholes. I don't have the patience for tracking, good thing I have a drumset. |

It's hard to get an IT song to sound professional, but it really depends on the samples. It is a GREAT tool for making loops for FL and Reason, though. |

| ___________________________________ [Feb 8,2011 1:33pm - arilliusbm ""] here's an old classic tracked song (you can tell by the samples) but it's a great example of stuff you can do with tracking music: bennyhillifier |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 8,2011 1:41pm - arilliusbm ""] I want to check out Renoise and SunVox, both are modern tracking programs.. One of the best, most classic tracked songs that came included with some bundles of Impulse Tracker: bennyhillifier Again though, these are older songs. You can now have high-quality samples tracking.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_audio_trackers There's no sense in arguing what's "better," though, because they are indeed different. BUT RESPECT YOUR ROOTS KHEDS |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 8,2011 1:44pm - ancient master ""] Renoise is the shit |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 8,2011 1:58pm - ancient master ""] I used to use IT in highschool, but what I like about renoise is you can do all the same stuff as IT but I like the sample and loop editing shit you can do on top of it, as well as the added effects |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 8,2011 1:59pm - arilliusbm ""] definitely going to check out renoise. pretty psyched. maybe i'll dabble in FL again as well, if Slag can convince me to. |
| _________________________________________________ [Feb 8,2011 2:56pm - Martins nli computerlab ""] sorry, here's a link to the track http://soundcloud.com/thefloatercreative/8bit3/s-uWbyu |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 8,2011 2:58pm - arilliusbm ""] wow, soudns pretty good for someone who hasn't been making them for a while. reminds me of some sort of boss music |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 8,2011 3:18pm - Slag NLI ""] No need to convice. Proof is in the pudding. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 8,2011 3:27pm - arilliusbm ""] Imma have to stick to being a crotchety old man who enjoys 90s technology, then. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 8,2011 5:02pm - Martins ""] My other two tracks I made before that one were slower and more geared towards just cool sounds. I've been sticking to simple melodies and chords right now. I had some ideas for new stuff but I've been so busy with classes that I haven't had any time. Thanks for listening though. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 8,2011 5:14pm - ancient master ""] song is sick |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 21,2011 11:30pm - arilliusbm ""] not that anyone cares, but just uploaded a short and simple industrial type song made with impulse tracker. took about 2 hours to make. sound quality is awful on youtube... bennyhillifier viva la impulse tracker! |
| ______________________________ [Feb 22,2011 7:06am - Slag ""] One of the better songs I've heard from you so far.... should have had a more abrupt ending or a longer fadeout. Sound quality is pretty good. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 22,2011 10:47am - arilliusbm ""] thanks.. yea I got sick of if and just ended it. Didn't feel like working on it anymore. It was more or less just an experiment because I haven't made a song of that style in years |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 22,2011 10:48am - arkquimanthorn ""] wow, this rules |

| ______________________________ [Apr 11,2011 8:20pm - Slag ""] Did you do the Digital Emotion track? |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 11,2011 8:32pm - ancient master ""] One of the classics in ever italo-party! Digital Emotion is one of the many productions of Cat Music, a Dutch production team consisting of the members of a former 70s rock band, called Catapult. After prior success with Catapult, the team changed strategy and started producing. Acts are Rubberen Robbie, Tower, The Monotones, Master Genius, X-Ray Connection and... Digital Emotion. All hits of Digital Emotion are written and produced by Adams & Fleisner. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 11,2011 8:34pm - ancient master ""] gets good around 3:20 |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 12,2011 12:09am - arilliusbm ""] Digital Emotion FTW. Makes me want to join an aerobics class. |
